You’ve been after me on that for years.
I didn’t answer it then and I’m not going to answer it now.
The only reason that that was ever asked was to judge me to determine if I met some arbitrary Catholic criteria for something and I don’t give a rip if I do, because the Catholic church is not my judge.
I don’t answer to it. I answer to God.
I have in fact never asked that, but do concede that it has been asked of you. I didn't remember your answer or non-answer. It is an important question to establish your credibility in these discussion and one of the tests is established in Scripture.
"If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." - Romans 10:9
"Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit." - 1 Corinthians 12:3
I can't imagine why you are reluctant or embarrassed to proclaim Jesus is Lord. Anyone who loves Him would be willing to shout it from the 50 yard line in the Super Bowl. Do you love Him?
Peace be with you.
