Dear brother, you all have different versions of what you call faith,(while I agree we are all united in our belief that Christ is God Incarnate and the Holy Trinity),protestants are separated from each other on interpretations of Scripture and how to practice faith.

I suppose it depends on the degree or importance of the separation(s). There are certainly many churches out there I would not attend, but which claim to be "protestant". However, I would be happy to attend virtually all, if not all, of the churches of the Protestants with whom I see you regularly conversing with here on FR. I think they represent a number of different denominations, so I think it means something that we are united "enough" that worshiping in each other's churches poses no particular problem. Under other circumstances I could easily see myself joining a number of them. I would readily agree that this unity is not of the same type as Catholicism, but imo it is meaningful unity nonetheless.

Dear Brother,I have often though that you could be someone who could convert to orthodox/catholic because you don’t seem closed minded in protestantism alone.

Thank you much for the sentiment. I like to think I wouldn't have any problem converting to any legitimate Christian faith, including yours, if I thought God was really leading me there. Indeed I had to do a bit of converting to wind up where I am now. :) God could certainly choose to alter that course at any time and if He does, then I shouldn't fight it. My faith now says that both of us are right now exactly where God wants us to be, and that we should both be thankful for it.

I really wish that some protestants would really take the time to read the Church fathers other than “Blessed Augustine alone” because I truly believe it would help you at least understand authentic historical faith was not many different beliefs.

I certainly agree with you and include myself as one being in need of further reading. I am sure there is much to be gained from reading those early Christians.

Hope all is well with you and your family?

Yes, very well, thank you. I hope all is well with you and yours also. May the Christmas season bring all of you great joy.

I will pray for you at Adoration today.

Thank you, I really appreciate that. I will pray for you as well.
