About half my family is Catholic and of course I know them all up front and personal. Each and every one of them loves God surpassingly above all else and that is the one and only Great Commandment.
Truly, sometimes both sides will be "right" - sometimes both sides will be "wrong" - and sometimes one is "right" and one is "wrong." The point I was trying to make is that for one side to be "right" does not ipso facto mean that the other side is of necessity "wrong."
Or to put it another way, John could not see through doubting Thomas' eyes.
In my view, the tendency of man to see so many things as either/or obstructs his spiritual discernment. The Jews for instance see the Messiah as a man anointed by God but cannot accept that He is both man and God. Ditto for the Messiah coming as a Lamb and again as a Lion. Ditto for God is One and also the Trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
That is a great blessing to hear! And thank you so much for your affirmations. :)

Yes, that is so true. And we can miss so much if we decide to simply throw things out that don't sound "nice". :)
