There is no need to prove anything to me. I do not sit in judgment, but like you, will be judged by how I responded to God's commandments and call to faith and beatitude. I am ready to be judged today.
I sincerely hope that you continue to proclaim the Gospel with all of your fervor and zeal. I only ask that you consider the cautions given us in Scripture and Tradition to do so with love, gentleness and respect. When we evangelize it is not we who convert hearts, it is the Holy Spirit. But our actions can assist or impede the process. In doing this it is our actions and our perceived motives that first come into play. We can only open minds, open eyes, and open hearts by gently preparing the way.
From the Cross Jesus taught us that ignorance can affect the imputability and responsibility for sin and even absolve sin when He said; "Father forgive them for they know not what they do". Whenever any of our words or actions causes anyone to recoil in anger, hatred or fear from the Word of Gos we take on a shared responsibility for their sin because, as Christians, we know better.
May the Peace and Blessings of Jesus be upon you.
Duh, I just said that I'm not here to prove anything - why the need to repeat? Yet you couldn't resist doing it, however I do not doubt the sincerity of your belief or your love of God.

No, you are NOTHING like me. Jesus took my judgement.

Without Christ, no one is ready.

If I considered anything from you - like your 'tradition', then I wouldn't have salvation. So keep your 'tradition' which gives you 'judgement'. I left the RCC years ago so I'm not a dog who returns to it's vomit. "As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly." Prov 26:11

I answered that condemnation shared responsibility for their sin on another thread - as you said you already posted that to one who is 'smug'. LOL! It's called 'assurance' something catholics know nothing of! There is NO condemnation to those who are 'in Christ'.
