Why don’t you come home? You know you want to, what’s standing in your way?

Oh, I do, I do. In the same way that I want to get back the Subaru station wagon that never worked and overheated...

Seriously, I left when I came to know CHRIST and He opened my eyes to the Scriptures.

I found salvation in Him
Eternal life
Assurance of Salvation
Peace from silly works that do not save and your Hamster Wheel of Guilt
The indwelling Spirit to guide and pray for me
Positioned as seated in the heavenlies with Christ
Gained an amazing inheritance
Became the Righteousness of Christ
and so, so much more.

I lost nothing except a pagan religion and gained everything in Him.

Sorry, no sale.

Do you know that you have eternal life?

Do you have assurance of your salvation?

If not, why? Why do you reject what God's Word teaches?

Your story from Catholicism to Christianity is typical of what I've seen others who've become Christians.

As Roman Catholics they found comfort in a denomination. Rarely do they say they came to know Christ.

Of those who've converted to Roman Catholicism rarely do you hear they have a relationship with Christ...it's about the Church and/or Mary.

I never made the mistake of buying a Subaru, had two Audis but I am right with you there.

I found salvation in Him[Excellent!]

Eternal life [Excellent!]

Assurance of Salvation [Excellent!]

Peace from silly works that do not save and your Hamster Wheel of Guilt [This is just plain disingenuous]

The indwelling Spirit to guide and pray for me [Excellent!]

Positioned as seated in the heavenlies with Christ [I am not sure I understand this but it sounds like you think that you made it through your own particular judgment already. You ARE familiar with the four last things of man: Death,Judgement,Heaven and Hell?]

Gained an amazing inheritance [could be a bit premature]

Became the Righteousness of Christ [ditto above]

and so, so much more.[Excellent!]

I lost nothing except a pagan religion[Catholicism is not paganism, were you once a pagan?] and gained everything in Him[for He is All things Good].

Sorry, no sale.[I am not selling and in fact it's not for sale, it's free for the asking and repentance for sins]

Do you know that you have eternal life?[it's eternal alright, what kind of eternal life is the question]

Do you have assurance of your salvation?[Yes, I have Christ's assurance]

If not, why? Why do you reject what God's Word teaches?[I reject the misconceptions and misrepresentations made by a parade of false prophets]
