Ok here we go, a handful of scholars converting to RCC does not a movement make, though it does beef up your propaganda pieces a bit. As a Protestant on the ground among many Catholics everyday in the military, I can assure you that I have personally led many of yours to a personal relationship with Christ. All I do is read them the scriptures. The words of grace spoken of by Paul do more than remove the barnacles of “tradition,” they convert the soul.
Thats odd.
At our military chapel, the Catholic parish is thriving, despite a lackluster (but kind and orthodox) pastor.
We have many people converting, too.
And the Protestant services keep getting smaller.
Same when I was deployed - protestant services were almost empty - but Catholic Mass was always packed.
**, a handful of scholars converting to RCC **
There are many regular converts here on The Religion Forum too.
God bless you in your misled information and lead you to the truth.
Be careful, remember how you received the scriptures.
As you say, and this goes for all, unless you know Christ, you can’t love him. It’s a relationship.
Barnicles of Tradition? (shakes head)
I’m shocked, at least I thought you would say you had a different definition of tradition...
For some reason, some think the scriptures preclude Tradition. What did everyone do while waiting for the letters of Paul and the gospels?
What would Paul say re: his words of grace converts souls?
I bet he would speak of his own conversion and what drove him. Paul himself does not give grace. But you knew that.
Pleased to speak with a Bethel grad.
The influx of Protestants into the Catholic Church goes well beyond handful. The majority of them are highly educated theologians and pastors.
I can assure you that I have personally led many of yours to a personal relationship with Christ. All I do is read them the scriptures. The words of grace spoken of by Paul do more than remove the barnacles of “tradition,” they convert the soul.
Despite what you may believe, "ours" already have a personal relationship with Christ through the Sacrament of Baptism. If anything, you are leading them into fallacy. Then again, you would not be the first one to do so.
Interesting. Do you think that Catholics don’t read Scripture?
