I know lots of Christian Catholics. A good portion of my dad's siblings were and their off spring. I have cousins who are Baptist Ministers and a cousin who is a Priest. I've heard my cousin who is a Priest give several sermons actually at family funerals including the one for my first wife who was non Catholic.

I don't agree with their dogma as such but I know their fruits and what they have become. Then again even though I was raised Baptist I don't fully agree with one of my cousins who is a Baptist Minister. I don't try and convert my cousins and vice versa. One of my Catholics aunts was filled with joy because her son received Christ she didn't care he attended a Baptist church. By the way when she passed local priest could not make the 20 mile journey to the funeral because it was too far. So her Nephew Priest drove 175 miles one way to preside.

I reckon though the second time I got married is one for the books LOL. We were married in a Catholic Chapel in the hospital by our preacher with hospital chaplain {Priest} and several Nuns as guest. The Nuns were very Christ like in how they treated and shielded my then girl friend now wife of 28 years from physical harm. I believe GOD gave The Pope his purpose, Billy Graham his purpose, and a street preacher his purpose or calling as well.

But as for church? With the exception of my daughters wedding and funerals I don't go anymore. A neurological issue that makes me spasm and jerk at certain sounds makes it difficult and disruptive.

Both Catholics and Protestants need to stop trying to convert each other and minister too the lost. Did Christ know even in His time with The Disciples that there would be many sects of followers? Yes and He certainly addressed that with them. They were jealous of a sect that was healing and casting out demons in His name.

Mark chapter 9 38John said to Jesus, “Teacher, we saw a man using your name to cast out demons, but we told him to stop because he isn’t one of our group.” 39“Don’t stop him!” Jesus said. “No one who performs miracles in my name will soon be able to speak evil of me. 40Anyone who is not against us is for us. 41If anyone gives you even a cup of water because you belong to the Messiah, I assure you, that person will be rewarded.

I was supposed to go to bed two hours ago, so will save my reply to this till later. :)

How do you know they are born again, snipe?

Many say they are Christian but are not born again.

Here is a great testimony. Think I would love to know this woman.
