[Marysecretary]

If you have found Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and you have received Him into your life, Praise the Lord. That’s what it takes to be saved. Hallelujah. Yes, I have the infallible knowledge that I am saved by God’s grace, which is more than sufficient for me. I LONG that others have that knowledge.

If you really knew me, you would know that the statements you are making are untrue. It’s hard to ‘say’ things here and make people understand how you feel about them and their salvation. Is it wrong for me to want you to be saved and to know it before the casket closes down on you? It’s possible, you know. I am truly sorry you think so ill of me but I am what I am, a sinner saved by grace. I love you no matter what you say to me.

I will use your own words once more. How do you even know that what your church teaches is the correct teaching? You don’t, not really. You just believe them.

How do you even know that you have it right. You say you feel it and you know it but it is just you saying it. It is still just your opinion, I'm not saying some of it isn't true. Or that you aren't a believer and only God knows if you are saved.

Do you realize how egocentric it is to try to convince a Catholic that you, a 40 to 70 yr old Marysecretary know better than 2000 of theology? A theology that you often misrepresent, by the way.

I am supposed to accept your interpretation of the New Testament of which each word was pondered and studied by a council of the Catholic Church and accepted or rejected as Truth. Do I throw away 2000 yrs of Tradition and theology on your word? Do I accept your feelings because they are strong and you really, reallly believe them>

I don't think so and it will never be thus.

BTW, I've never seen you point out anything through actual Scripture, I just get what you feel must be the truth because you feel it.

If you really knew me, you would know that the statements you are making are untrue.

It isn't about YOU, it is about Truth and the fullness of that Truth resides within the Catholic Church.

Is it wrong for me to want you to be saved and to know it before the casket closes down on you?

If it didn't sound so much like derision it might be acceptable but nothing you have said makes me long to be outside the Catholic Church.
