So now I think we can move a little further ahead. And as I'm sure you know, there are many on this forum who have had the complete opposite experience than you. They have come out of the Catholic Faith and into non-Catholic beliefs. And naturally, they want others to experience the same revelations...I was never involved in the Catholic faith, so I only have my non-Catholic, evangelical beliefs. There just must be a way to debate our differences. To be able to "reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine." 2 Tim. 4:2.

Not a feigned kindness, but a true debate of God's Word. We all have our good points and our bad, I think. "Longsuffering" is NOT my strong point, as I'm sure you've seen. But the preaching of God's Word, and God's reconciliation toward man through Christ's finished work is the most important topics we will ever undertake in this world.

We will begin the conversation again, your opinion, my opinion, God's Word, other's opinions, and it won't always be pretty, of that I'm certain. But truth sometimes isn't pretty, and eternity is a long time to be wrong.

Let's see what God has in store for those He loves and has called according to His purpose. We cannot go wrong if we follow Him.

With your permission, I would like to teach you a little about early church history. This is not “Catholic” alone, but concerns all who call themselves Christians. I actually did a thesis in school on that subject......
