Like many other well intentioned Evangelicals, he must not have been well versed in Romans 15:20-21

Thus I aspire to proclaim the gospel not where Christ has already been named, so that I do not build on another's foundation, but as it is written: "Those who have never been told of him shall see, and those who have never heard of him shall understand."

Ironic.

All your posts are exactly the same thing.

Instead of "preaching" to non Christians, you post threads to tell evangelicals how they need to be catholics.

Why not preach to pagans?

I'm not preaching anything. This is the story of a young man's journey from Evangelical, home to the Catholic Church. I posted it and pinged the Catholic List.

Why not preach to both Evangelicals and Pagans since both are in error?

There is the ONE Catholic Church based on Petrine authority. And then there is everything else under the sun.

Take “your” own interpretation, or that of the Joel Osteens, Rev. Al Sharptons, Rev. Billy Grahams, Rev. Jeremiah Wrights; Rev. David Koresh; Rev. Jim Jones’; Rev. Moons; Rev. Jimmy Swaggart; the Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, or the self-appointed pastors at every corner street street Foursquare Church. You have seen for yourself how mainline Protestant and Evangelical Churches have given us “Bible-based” interpretation whereby gay and lesbian married pastors ar enow admitted to “their” Churches.

The young lad and his Dad made the only correct choice they could They are not alone. Prominent Protestant scholars and theologians have after a lifetime of teaching and preaching have converted to Catholicism. This includes the President of the scholarly Evangelical Theological Society (ETS). Francis J. Beckwith

Then there is the popular Wheaton professor, Joshua Hochschild

And then came the shock. The founder of Sweden’s largest Protestant denomination, Ulf Ekman converted to Catholicism

The books in the Bible did not fall from the skies and automatically arrange it self in a set order. These were carefully put together after years of discussion ad debate by the early Church theologians based on Petrine authority and by drawing upon a boat load of written materials, confirming some and discounting others like the Gnostic Gospels, they drew upon the oral tradition, the Aramaic and Greek meaning of words, early liturgical practices, and revelation. This authority did not dissipate over time. It continues to remain to this day and until the end of time.

The famous British essay, Hillaire Belloc wrote, that unlike other heresies, Protestantism spawned a “cluster of heresies” and the evil of the Reformation continues to spawn a mudslide of various sects and sub-sects.

Cross over my friend.The water is warm and inviting and get rid of all that born-again nonsense etc.
