[Uri’el-2012]

Membership in any man-made religion,
will not bring you salvation for your sins !

Only a personal relationship with the YHvH,
the creator of the universe, will provide you
with the means to ask Yah'shua
for His Salvation for your sins.

The only place to begin a personal relationship
with the creator of the universe,
the Jewish Messiah, is in His Holy Word.

I pray that you come to know Yah'shua the Messiah.

Welcome home!

We converted from the Episcopal Church on Memorial Day weekend 2004. Wish we'd taken the plunge into the Tiber sooner. Our parish is wonderful, the priests are good holy men on fire for Christ, our fellow parishioners are a wonderful bunch of people.

I second the recommendation on Catholicism for Dummies. The title is a little off-putting (I mean, fly fishing and dog training are one thing, but the Church?) but it's absolutely straight down the line orthodox and has a wonderful bibliography for further reading.

Don't forget to get some good music! Chant and Renaissance polyphony are the very best the Church has to offer, especially Palestrina, Tallis, and Byrd.

And pray the Rosary, daily if you can. I have found that to be such a help and comfort.

P.S. Don't worry too much about the sniping from the fringes. Most of it is due not to malice, but simply not understanding.

Even you must’ve noted that half of the responses to “which book should I get” were about which version of the bible he should get.

Now the presumption that he hasn’t is just downright insulting.

That’s why he’s becoming a CATHOLIC. He’s eschewing man-made religions. Of course, MEMBERSHIP in the Catholic Church won’t save you, but it does help make sure you come to know Christ, and it’s the means of receiving his body. Those are two very big plusses.

I was not aware anyone claimed this.

Only a personal relationship with the YHvH, the creator of the universe, will provide you with the means to ask Yah'shua for His Salvation for your sins.

The Catholic Church is a great place to do this.

The only place to begin a personal relationship with the creator of the universe, the Jewish Messiah, is in His Holy Word.

Not scriptural.

That's true -- The Catholic Church was founded by Christ, so being part of God's community in The Church helps us all grow
