How do you know??, what if they are leading you astray (they are)....how can you be absolutely certain???/they are going against 2,016 years of deeply studied and verified history....they are 75 or so years old....and you are willing to take that chance....GOOD LUCK....and that's all it is.
I think I remember that some folks from Berea had a solution for this problem.
TC, there you go again. Actually Elsie summed it up pretty well, there isn't much else to say. I was a Berean type Catholic. When those GREAT people with the Navigators told me something, I searched the scriptures, to see if it was so. You may disagree with the Biblical interpretation, but that's on you. And to quote a famous dude, named TC, yes, it is OK, I guess.
Look dude, I don't care a hill of beans about all this stuff about Mary, and a host of other issues. I only care about how people intend to bluff their way into Heaven. Nothing else matters.
I have given Ganecock specific instructions, that if I ever got tempted to swim the Tiber, he would beat me severely about the head and shoulders, to knock some sense into me.
I hope you are comfortable with your belief system. It is totally different from mine. I think that both of us can't possibly be right. I am comfortable with that. I guess we will both think about this about 40 trillion years from now. Good luck.
