If anything is worth fighting for, it’s Truth.

Which is that Jesus is the Son of the living God who died for our sins and was resurrected. And the two greatest commandments Jesus gave to us was to LOVE THE LORD THY GOD with all thy heart and to love thy neighbor as thyself. I don't see how believers fighting over other doctrine trumps violating what Jesus calls the greatest commandments. Having discussions which furthers ones faith and improves one another's knowledge of God is good, bitterly fighting is not so good.

I agree completely. I am a Catholic. I prayed, studied, meditated, prayed some more, before becoming Catholic. I can defend 99% of my faith with scripture, history and logic. But for that last percent I had to make a leap of faith.

That’s why with apologetics it is more true than of most things that “you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink. Only God can provide that last push. If anyone on this thread is sincerely posting in the hopes of saving another poster’s misguided soul this might be the point at which to withdraw from the computer into a quiet room for some serious prayer. I think all the “undecideds” left 600 posts ago, thoroughly scandalized.

That is, assuming everyone is here “Ad maiorem Dei gloriam” as opposed to simply seeking the intellectual satisfaction of getting the last word in.
