You don’t want a respectful conversation about Jesus, you want the Catholic dogma to be truth and it is definitely not. The Bible is totally clear regarding how one gets born again, and it is not something you work for it is by faith in Who did the work. Your religion is not Christianity it is catholicism. I do not respect you enough to go further in this exchange.
Darling, I am not Catholic and never have been. I read and study the Bible and commune with others who do the same. Your harumphing is just laziness. Either explain your theological objections to what I posted based on scripture, not on your biases about the world’s religions, or else desist from the haughty accusation posts.
