The key to MANY conversions .. (luke 22:32 .. But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. ((to Simon .. er .. Peter ... er ... Pope)) ... ) is simply;
" ... as I had never heard someone actually teach Bible passages before ... "
And for me as well ... I never was "taught" the bible .... just memorize catechism and obey the nuns

And for me as well ... I never was "taught" the bible .... just memorize catechism and obey the nunsSame here. In fact I got one of the first Bibles in Spanish for sale in Madrid, and the next day a nun snatched it away from me and told me I had no business reading that. It took a long time, I was then a child and I was not exposed to true Christianity until I was 30. But it changed my life. It was like someone turned the light on for me, why should I ever want to turn it off?
