Anyone who seriously studies the Bible and still doesn’t find the answer for which he/she is searching will continue to search and eventually convert to Catholcism because it has the fullness of faith and is the Body of Christ here on earth.

In other words, you feel God's grace is not sufficient and Christ's death on the cross for your salvation is not sufficient so you run to ritualism thinking that surely there's something else YOU must do to save yourself. It seems there is a lack of faith there.

Some people convert because of feelings. They usually don’t last long wherever they are members of a church.

I’m not talking about feelings here — I’m talking about the quest for true knowledge.

As one continues to study the Bible and study other sources such as the Early Church Fathers it becomes quite evident that all these men who knew Christ personally or were taught by someone who knew Christ personally are parlayers of the REAL TRUTH.

Catholics do believe that Christ died for our sins. However, “Many are called, and few are chosen.”

Keep studying — it’s not about feelings. It’s about Knowing that I have a personal relationship with Christ.
