And time and time again you reject out of hand what God's word says.

I did the same when I was a Catholic, so I understand. Things are different now. 😄😀😂

When my Catholic mother and I discuss certain doctrinal differences, I can show her why what she has been taught isn't Biblical. What usually happens is she will say, "Well that's just what we believe.". She refuses to trust what her own eyes see written. But what I think the REAL issue is - like as happened in many of our lives - to reject what Catholicism teaches about anything would mean they were wrong about something and could be wrong about other things, as well. Their foundation is the sinking sand of an organization rather than Jesus Christ. It's a scary place for many.

I didn't get anywhere with my Catholic family either. My one sister, was vehemently against me leaving the OTC. Over the years, she saw a change in me, that she could not explain, or ignore. Now, my sister, is one of the most Godly women I know. Even though I am in the Philippines, we keep in touch, regularly on Viber. 😁😁😀 Prsise God for Viber. 🤣😊👍

Better to be a little scary before death, than a whole lot more scary after death, wouldn't you say?
