I was led by my thirst for the TRUTH,

Oh, I'm SURE that was it. Had nothing to do with "mean dad dragged me to church every week", "they wouldn't let my girlfriend take communion" or "all that standing/kneeling/standing was so hard!"

And that “door-to-door” salesman you refer to and seem to be disparaging, happens to be the Holy Spirit. It was Him whom knocked on my door.

No sh!t?!?! Now that I'd like to see. And you complain about Catholics praying to dead people?

Not following you logic here,...are you saying the Holy Spirit is dead? I will pray for you.

That you would like to see? Are you not aware it is the Holy Spirit that convicts us of our sins and speaks to our heart? When the veil was torn in the Temple the spirit of God went with it, upon Pentecost it dwelled in all of those who believe. Without the Holy Spirit reading the Bible and understating it is impossible.

That is Blasphemy!

You accuse the Holy Spirit of being DEAD!

Be careful and repent my friend.

I will pray for you.

I will also end my participation in this or any other thread involving you until you publicly repent.

This is why I have stayed away from these threads.

They lead to many to sin, but sinning against the Holy Spirit is Blasphemous and I will not partake of it.

I think it is time we all step back and consider where this debate has taken us.

Accusing others of lying and using profanity in a Religion Forum - BOTH a no-no. Hope you don't let your kids read what you write here!
