TC, there you go again. Actually Elsie summed it up pretty well, there isn't much else to say. I was a Berean type Catholic. When those GREAT people with the Navigators told me something, I searched the scriptures, to see if it was so. You may disagree with the Biblical interpretation, but that's on you. And to quote a famous dude, named TC, yes, it is OK, I guess.
Look dude, I don't care a hill of beans about all this stuff about Mary, and a host of other issues. I only care about how people intend to bluff their way into Heaven. Nothing else matters.
I have given Ganecock specific instructions, that if I ever got tempted to swim the Tiber, he would beat me severely about the head and shoulders, to knock some sense into me.
I hope you are comfortable with your belief system. It is totally different from mine. I think that both of us can't possibly be right. I am comfortable with that. I guess we will both think about this about 40 trillion years from now. Good luck.
I am...I decided to go along with Christ's church, which He founded, rather than a group, springing up in the 1930's which tried, somehow, to reinvent Christianity which had existed at that time for 1,930 years.....couldn't quite figure out how they knew the truth when BILLIONS of Christians had been mislead for all those centuries.......still don't.
