No wonder Christianity is in decline when the hearts of its champions are filled with hatred, contempt and ill will to their fellow Human Beings.
Typical Protestant jive.
I simply stated facts. Anyone who thinks honesty is an indication of "spiritual shortcomings" has already hardened their heart.
Jesus Christ didn't tone down the Truth, but I guess folks accustomed to the Protestant tradition of going along to get along can't understand how much "bile" Jews of His day thought was in the words of Christ.
I'm sure those who are trying desperately to cling to their worship of Self and pretend it's the same thing as Christianity can't recognize how powerfully the Holy Spirit is working in this country now. Nonetheless, while heresy disguised as Christianity is falling apart and openly denying Christ, the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church founded by Jesus Christ Himself is getting stronger every day.
The Holy Spirit is working wonders and removing the scales from the eyes of millions, Catholic and non-Catholic, who surrender their own will, take up their cross, and follow Christ. Naturally, those who worship Self and have hardened their heart are incapable of recognizing what is going on.
have a nice day
