I don't "hang my credibility" on anyone other than my Lord Jesus Christ and His Holy Bible. As to the article I linked from Webster, why not give me a few examples of what you mean by his "disingenuous and outright fraudulent citation of sources". It should be easily shown if it is indeed what he has done.

I would suppose that the real beef with Webster is like I said, he was a Roman Catholic and he left that church for Protestant Evangelicalism. He also has an article posted that explains his reason as well as why he will continue to remain Evangelical. It is Why Scripture and the Facts of History Compel Me, a Former Roman Catholic, to Remain a Committed Evangelical Protestant . It is also well-sourced. Enjoy.

"Why Scripture and the Facts of History Compel Me, a Former Roman Catholic, to Remain a Committed Evangelical Protestant."

Unfortunately, I think that title was all the proof some need to establish its veracity. That is not a search for the truth, it is a search for validation.

I take an opposite approach because I put a very high value on the truth. It is far more important to me what is right and not who is right. I don't always get everything right immediately, but I keep at it until I do even when it requires stepping on a few toes. I approach everything as a skeptic and require that every source prove itself. I think that too many take the opposite approach.

Faith and the truth will withstand every test. As I have often admitted in these threads there are times when I have had difficulties with Catholic doctrines and I make sure that I thoroughly research the topic to ensure that it is not my understand or reasoning that is flawed. In every case with sufficient study and prayer I have realized that the Church is right.

I see a decency and intellect in you that is absent in too many on these threads. I know that you sincerely love God and have a desire to know Him ever more. I just fear that you have so much invested in anti-Catholicism that it blinds you to the good that is in the Church and its saints. Although I wish you would it is not important to me that you return to the Church. I just want you to speak truthfully of it.

Peace be with you
