You can't the Roman Catholic Church from Scripture. Too many distortions and errors in theology to do that.

If you happen to ever watch the Coming Home Network's Journey Home program (run by a former Presbyterian minister), you would find a common thread with many of their stories is that they felt that there is no way they could do otherwise and keep their integrity. Often at great cost to themselves and their families. And, in almost every case, their study of the scriptures was what led them there.

I don't want to get in an argument with you about it and I realize that I will not convert you based upon an Internet posting, but that is a common thing I hear. You can look at over 50 conversion stories yourself by clicking here and see for yourself.

Scottt Hahn ? No one can find evidence that the man was ever ordained.. One thing for sure he found an audience that protestants would never give him.

Protestants like sound exegesis

I have watched that show many times. As a preacher and pastor, and a student of the Roman Catholic Church, my assessment is that many of those stories are from people who either have a poor understanding of Scripture, or are moving for reasons other than theology.

I will not convince you either, but there is far too much that the RC teaches that i find offensive to Scripture. We could begin with a celibate priesthood, the Pope as the Vicar of Christ, the many assertions (non-Scriptural) about Mary (such as the Immaculate Conception), the Real Presence, the emphasis on the Saints, even the process of designating someone as a Saint...all of it extremely problematical.

I have been a pastor-teacher for 31 years. I have yet to find any reason for accepting the Roman Catholic Church as the True, and only, church.
