In a nutshell, that's pretty much the theme of every one of these threads. For decades now.
It's always the same dialogue. Always.
And I ask myself, "What is the point? The hardcore RCC adherents never seem to be persuaded by Biblical Truth."
My hope is that there are other people (hopefully some "regular" Catholics) who are searching for truth and find in in the persuasive points that are made by so many born-again believers who "dialogue" with those intransigents.
Personally, I commend those who continue to try (n.b.). I admit: I've quit trying with the "hardcore intransigents" and have mostly turned to (my kind of) humor. I don't continue to cast pearls when talking to pigs.
However, bring me someone who is seeking the truth and I am on it.
There are many who read these threads but don't participate. Similar to Sundays when churches are having services...many ride by...some stop...some hear the message and respond.
However, based on the behavior of some of the RCs on this particular thread I'd ask...why would anyone want to join that denomination??
I get where your coming from and agree.
Years ago my Pastor told me unless they are Born Again most will not adhere to Scripture.
However, if they are Born Again yet not having a knowledgeable grasp of understanding sound doctrine, then those are the ones who are usually intelligent enough to listen.
I think there is an element of truth to that.
Revelation 18:4
King James Version
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
