Actually you ARE trying to convert us -- which shows that you actually DO care and you are Christian. We may disagree on many, many points, but I sincerely believe that you are an exemplary Christian.

A Lutheran poster, Balteshazzar wrote this on another post once
There is a difference between anti-Catholicism and Christianity, just as there is a difference between anti-Protestantism and Christianity. The line between either of the two is not always easy to find; and it is regularly transgressed from both sides with the result of doing so being anger, misunderstanding, misuse of God’s Word, closing of mind and heart, communication that grieves the heart of Him who so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, and scandal that engenders scorn in the hearts of unbelieving, but often sincerely inquiring, observers.
A real non-Catholic (as opposed to an anti-Catholic) sincerely believes in what he/she believes and also believes that the Church is wrong. But he is civil, he is truthful, he is honest and he is a true seekign Christian -- such as you, Mr. Rogers

Here in the flagging moments of 2011, we all seek to truly expound to each other what we truly believe in and we know that we all believe in One Lord, One God -- Jesus Christ, God from God, Light from Light, True God from True God

All us Christians may be riven by little issues but we believe in a loving God, a Triune God, a God who cares so much for us insignificant creations that HE came down to become one of us, who cares so much for us that His Holy Spirit aids us in our quest to love Him.

What a marvellous God we have! May He bless us all and protect us in the next year. Though the days may seem dark, we will not despair as we know Our Lord and Our God is with us.

On this final day of 2010, all I’ll say is...AMEN!
