Don’t call me names, post insulting pictures and bear false witness against me, and tell me that I cannot be a Christian.

I didn’t judge your wife, I asked you this, about your personal church.
“”It doesn’t trouble you that your church tells you that your own wife’s religion is not a Christian religion,? “””

Now I’m trying to figure out if you are Catholic as I assumed, or Jehovah’s Witness, which church do you belong to?

When you make yourself a judge over my wife and call her a non-Christian it is an insult. There is only one Judge, you are not Him. Don’t insult my wife.

I don’t mention my religion on purpose. There will be those who will ridicule that too so I do not hold my faith up to ridicule.

I am a singer, the majority of churches I have sung in and the majority of the priests I have made friends with are Catholic. In speaking to my close priest friends and even those who are not so close, none of them have condemned my wife as non-Christian. They all espouse the ecumenical stuff about only being one Church of Christ and that if we worship Christ we are a part of that church. I tell them that that is not the doctrine of the Church but they tell me it is. They tell me that they may judge their members worthiness to take communion but are not judges of other people, that it is between God and the individual. I normally don’t like ecumenical sophistry but I do appreciate those words.

I believe there are many ways a man can be brought to Christ, I don’t think it matters how you get there only that you arrive in time.

My close association with Mormons finds in general a good, God fearing people. They are kind to a fault. Generous to an astounding degree. One Mormon told me once “by their fruits ye shall know them” as a scriptural quotation. Let me tell you, they got the fruits.

I’m not sure whether I care that they might not believe everything that everyone else believes, I know that they believe in Christ. I know that they sincerely try to follow Him and Love Him. The other stuff, it’s just stuff.
