I feel a leading from the Holy Spirit to speak on topics dealing with my former religious identity much like former Mormons or others do here.

The words "I feel" warn me. Do you consider yourself a prophetess ?

I think you would know Catholics say "I believe" (Apostles Creed) or " We believe" (Nicene Creed) when publicly proclaiming faith. I cannot even find "I feel" in any KJV verse, albeit it could appear in more modern translations. I know many of your own poets have used it, notably Carole King, Richie Havens, and the Allman Brothers Band.

Even Jews are taught to say "I believe" as well as "I hope."

12. I believe with perfect faith in the coming of the Messiah, and, though he tarry, I will wait daily for his coming.

13. I believe with perfect faith that there will be a resurrection of the dead at the time when it shall please the Creator, blessed be his name, and exalted be the remembrance of him for ever and ever.

For thy salvation I hope, O Lord! I hope, O Lord, for thy salvation! O Lord, for thy salvation I hope!

And now remains faith, hope, and love.

I feel like you are just baiting me now. I feel like you don't really care what I believe as long as I believe something contrary to what you believe. I feel like this dialog is pointless and I waste my time trying to explain to you what I think and believe after you pepper me with questions. I feel like the Holy Spirit is telling me to pray for you more and post to you less. Buh-bye!
