But do you thank God you are not like the other guy? I think you know the difference.

“But do you thank God you are not like the other guy?”

I said: I thank God for His grace and loving-kindness that spared me, a sinner, from falling into the filth of Protestant heresy and sectarianism.

I mentioned no “other guy” there. Your comparison of me to the Pharisee was completely wrong.

No....I'm actually saddened with all I'm reading on this blog.

I see a lot of man-made ideas with leaps of logic about things in the Bible and some not even in the Bible.

I've never really delved much into the Catholic belief system, but from just what I've been learning about Mary it's been a real eye opener.

I see a lot of non-Biblical teaching based on assumptions occurring regarding Mary which saddens me.

I just study the Bible and the clear teaching of the Word. I'm studying Koine Greek to have a better understanding of the original texts.

But, I am just a sinner who is saved by the grace of Christ. I can claim no more than that for my forgiveness according to His word.
