“I have found that pointing out the beliefs of the Roman Catholic church and then refuting it with the bible doesn’t work”
You mean the CATHOLIC document that came from the CATHOLIC CHURCH. Without the CATHOLIC CHURCH you will still be praying to a sun god.
That should not have made me laugh, but it did. Right on!
I can tell you that that is not true, but it wouldn’t be to any use. It’s like trying to argue with a person who believes the world to be flat and you know for a fact it isn’t. They won’t change their mind. I have no desire to be confrontational, because I’ve done that in the past and I don’t believe that’s how Jesus would want me to represent him. Instead, I will say that I will pray for you, for your countrymen, for my countrymen, and for our countries that we may know him and that we will turn back to him and right our countries.
No amount of deportations, elections, war, you name it, nothing will repair our countries unless we have the blessing of God himself.
As for the word of God, God himself did give us his word and he’s all powerful, he can preserve his word, and it’s up to us to follow it. I’m no perfect person, but I’m trying to improve myself everyday and lead my house.
Have to admit, made me laugh to. The Jews actually did a great job of protecting most of what we now call 'the bible' for a very long time. In fact, Jesus and the first century church used these same 'old testament' books (or tanakh) when this thing called 'christianity' was just getting started.
