See last post. I go by formal surveys, which in time would confirm your anecdotal story, which of course, may have been a years reaping, while an evangelical church elsewhere could have the same or more of former RCs.
Up here where there are many more evang. churches than in my youth, that they would not have grown as they did except by RC converts, while she has closed many churches.
You play gotcha games with historical statements. That means you are acting like a lawyer.
When you go around take old 12 th century statements from a Pope you are lawyering it up my brother. Nowhere in the statement does it mean what you are trying to prove.
It is a general statement. It does not specifically say Daniel 1212 or Johngrace is going to hell.
Take for instant today's comparision. Billy Graham states at an event that if you believe in Jesus Christ you will have eternal life. Nowhere is he saying that Daniel1212 or Johngrace is going to Hell. Nor will you find Billy Graham or the Pope use a specific name to say someone went there. It is General statement to learn from in the Holy Spirit.
Both of these great men know it is always up to God.
Praise Jesus! Freeper Cheers!!
