Succinctly exposited. Sadly, catholic minds reject such TRUTH by sweeping it aside as ‘the interpretation of a non-Catholic. Catastrophically, that cuts the catholic mind off from coming alive in the Christ Who has given us eternal life and left for us His Word. But without a dispensational perspective (the Bible is laid out in dispensations) it is nearly impossible to differentiate the Bema seat from The Great White Throne of Judgment, a confusion as shown on this very thread.
You just described my family. They hated anyone who wasn't Catholic. I had a little hate for non Catholics, but nothing compared to the rest of my family. I think they did more to drive me away from the RCC, than anyone. I began to think there must be something better than all this hate.
One of my sisters, was vehemently against me getting born again. After a few years, however, she could see a huge change in my life, and now, she is one of the most Godly women I know, as she left the Catholic Church too. Praise God for that. I have no plans to swim the Tiber. 🌊
