And I am really weary of this battle right now. The deception on this forum is so high I am going to have to leave it for now.
Thanks for your post,

I understand how you feel, jodyel, but leaving the forum is a victory for satan. If you aren’t here defending the faith, there is one less ambassador here, beseeching the lost to be reconciled to God, while there is still time. Rest, and then come back, refreshed, and waiting to defend the faith that was once delivered to the saints, again.
They would no longer stay in the Catholic Church if that were true, Sum.

Actually, I left the Catholic Church for several years...and Jesus led me back. I am Catholic and my relationship with the Lord has deepened because of this, as has my husband’s. My husband had a slightly different experience. Though he was not Catholic, he came to believe that God wanted him here. We both searched the Scriptures together and prayed, asking the Father to show us where we were to be (we had attended several different Christian churches over a period of years...always finding something that was being said by the pastor that did not line up with the Bible).
Though you may not see me as a sister in Christ (because I am joyfully Catholic), I definitely see you as a brother/sister in Christ and sincerely wish that we and people like us would work together in living and spreading the Good News. This painfully darkened world desperately needs that message and witness now and the urgency to win souls for Christ is great...far greater than it has ever been!
