Why am I a Christian?

I am a sinner and deserve death and eternal punishment. Romans 3:23 and Romans 6:23

Now for the Good News!

I believe, based on the Word, that Jesus died for my sins and they are completely forgiven...past, present and future. John 3:16 and Colossians 2:14

My faith is in Him and Him only. He is the only way to Heaven. There are no other paths. John 14:6

Through His mercy I have 'round the clock access to Him. Ephesians 3:12 and Hebrews 4:16

He has adopted me into His family. Ephesians 1:5 and Romans 8:15-17

The Holy Spirit lives in me and guides me during the day. He quickly convicts me when I sin. John 14:16 BTW...He's fast!

I believe based on the Word He will not leave me alone. John 14:18

I look forward to spending eternity with Him....though I do not deserve it.

Sure we have.

I haven't seen one non-Catholic not explain why they became *Protestants*.

The problem isn't in the former Catholics doing the telling. The problem is in current practicing Catholics being able to grasp what is being told them. They simply do not believe what the former Catholics have told them and say as much, with the usual accusation being that their conversion has to do with immorality.

IOW, Catholics simply choose not to believe former Catholics.
