Me too!



God placed you in a position of great responsibility and influence on souls. A wise quote by Saint Francis of Assisi is, "Preach the Gospel at all times; when necessary use words." You not only can teach the Gospels in word and deed, but can remind your students that when they meet someone who they can't find commonality with on any or all beliefs, they do share the commonality of having a soul, a sign of God's Paternity, the spiritual blood that makes them both His children, and one another brothers and sisters in God. Therefore, God loves them both, as they are to love Him, and each other, without judgment. To persevere in love by being obedient to His Law unto death leads to eternal life with our Father in Heaven.

God be with you as a spiritual leader.
Wow! An ecumenical!!! I can show you how to avoid becoming Catholic in 8 easy steps.

As a Protestant convert to Catholicism whose journey culminated at the Easter Vigil earlier this year, I have some experience, oddly enough, in how to become a Catholic. For me, it was a particular, miraculous journey that I’ve been writing about for a few months now. For me, I can trace certain lines—a certain narrative—through nearly a decade’s long journey. In my own journey, I can check off certain boxes and say, definitively, yes, that made me become a Catholic.

So, naturally, I wanted to help others to avoid a similar fate.

A very well written article! A beautiful conversion experience as well. I enjoyed reading this. Thank you for sharing,

Context, dear Taken, context. Most non-Catholics misinterpret Scripture because they unwittingly take things out of context.

The Context of Scripture is not a Mystery.
Spoken /Written Scripture, IS ABOUT…
The Lord God Almighty…
His Estate…
Celestial holy Angels…
Celestial fallen Angels…
Their Estate…
Terrestrial Animals…
Their Estate…
Terrestrial ManKIND…
Their Estate…
“FOR” Terrestrial ManKIND! to Hear, to Know, to Trust, to Verify;
“TO” freely CHOOSE, to. Become Dead to Sin, Born Again of Gods Seed, and Forever Alive unto God and with God.[/B]

Romans 3:23 is not to be taken in an absolute (NO exceptions) sense.

Utterly False on its Face.

All one need do is provide one exception to prove that. Yet, we can provide millions of exceptions.

False.

Besides Jesus and Mary, babies before the age of reason, who are incapable of committing sin are all exceptions.

False.

* Jesus IS NOT a Terrestrial manKIND of Being, who came forth out of the dust of the Earth.
*. Jesus EXPRESSLY was Revealed having come forth out From God IN Heaven, EXPRESSLY Revealed “SIN-LESS”, EXPRESSLY SENT to Earth “IN” the “LIKENESS” as a Terrestrial manKIND of being, “TO” EXPRESSLY …
Face to Face with ISRAEL;
Serve ISRAEL,
Be an “EXAMPLE”,
Teach ISRAEL,
Reveal Secrets,
Offer Blessing,
Offer Gifts,
Appoint Agreeable Disciples to continue Gods purpose.

From the beginning of Terrestrial Man-KIND…
Man-KIND was “OFFERED” An Order, A Way to “BECOME” Made “IN” Gods “LIKENESS”…and given a “Covenanted PROMISE” to that effect.
THAT:
** BY, THROUGH, OF the Lord God Almighty…
His Forgiveness, His Way, His Word, His Power…
** HE WILL, “MAKE” “any /all” of ”agreeable” manKIND to BE INCLUDED IN His Covenanted PROMISE.

THE FACT IS:
An INDIVIDUAL CHOOSING to Accept Gods Offering…”IS” Knowledge GOD ALREADY KNOWS!!!

ManKIND, himself, “LEARNS” the KNOWLEDGE of “Accepting Belief in the Lord God” or “Rejecting Belief in the Lord God”…
Throughout the journey of THAT individual manKIND’s natural mortal LIFE!

Natural born mortal babies, whose natural mortal life is cut short, to minutes, to a day, to a year, to two years, etc…..DOES NOT SUPERSEDE Gods ability to KNOW … WHAT or WHEN their own Natural spirit…(truth IN their Heart)…Believes!!

From Adam, to multiple expressly Named persons IN Scripture, IS Revealed Mortals WHO Served God According to His WILL, WHO Failed, WHO were regretful, WHO were Forgiven; WHO Failed, WHO had no remorse, WHO were Not forgiven…
and their Consequences thereof.

Adam, Eve, Cain, Abel, Noah, Moses, Abram, Ishmael, Issac, Jacob, Esau, David, multiple females named Mary, named John, on and on EXPRESSLY named persons, IN Scripture, CHOSEN, and AGREEABLE to SERVE the Lord God According to His Pleasure…ARE Revealed AS Examples FOR future generations OF terrestrial manKIND TO Learn, TO Comprehend …
HOW TO “themselves” in their “natural spirit” BELIEVE in the Lord God, AND “RECEIVE” the Lord Gods Grace of “Forgiveness” and the Lord Gods Justice of “BEING INCLUDED” in His Covenanted Offering of Eternal Life “WITH” the Lord God Almighty.

You desperately trying to MAKE “Mary” a natural born terrestrial human female, child of terrestrial human parents and wife of Joseph), EQUAL with the Lord God Almighty, who IS WITHOUT Beginning, WITHOUT Ending, WITHOUT Ancestors, WITHOUT Sin…
IS the height of Deceptive, Wicked, Corrupt teaching….AND NO WHERE Taught IN Scripture, BY God, BY the Word of God, By the Lord Gods holy celestial Servants, BY the Lords Chosen and Faithful Disciples.


THAT…deceptive, wicked, corrupt teaching, I will AGREE, WAS concocted during historical days, By, Through, Of a FEW Gentile men, holding Councils, inviting audiences of their underling “titled” teachers, tasked to teach the ignorant, illiterate, public at large… absolute Absurd, deceptive, wicked, corrupt, anti-Godly, lies…
“As truths”.

While “pretending” to honor the remembrance of Mary Agreeing to Serve God in the capacity set before her…
You dishonor her memory and her Service unto God, with concocted shrines, trinkets and lies.

Glory to God,
Taken

So, rather than say we disagree, you're claiming to be infallible in your personal interpretation of Scripture? Inquiring minds want to know...

Proving you are (theologically) anti-Protestant is not deceptive trickery.

A stupid statement. Cars are not in scripture so by your reasoning, Christians shouldn't drive cars.

Your opposition to the founders of Protestantism doesn't impress Protestants.

That's not in Scripture.

Your only reply to the content of my posts is emotional reaction and insults. No discussion or intelligent comment.

Your ignorance, opinions, personal accusations are MOOT.

I have ZERO obligation to Believe YOU, Believe IN YOU, nor consider your opinions, or be moved by your accusations.

I am VERY content to have become MADE INCLUDED IN the Lord Gods Offering, according to HIS order and way.

If that bothers You…so what?

I DO DISAGREE and HAVE SAID on numerous Occasions I “DISAGREE”.

Me HAVING the wherewithall TO KNOW WHY I disagree, and STATING WHY I disagree, IS NOT by any implication, shape, form, testimony of claiming infallibly.

It is IN FACT claiming MY TRUST IN the Lord God, supersedes my trust IN human men WHO have “appointed themselves” to sit in the Lord Gods Seat of supreme authority.

But, aren't you trusting yourself (a human being) rather than the Church founded by Christ? Christ founded the Church (see Matt. 16:18-19). Not some mere human being coming along in the 16th century or later. And Christ promised that the "gates of hell" would never "prevail" over His Church. Are you claiming He lied or failed?

Not at all. Did you over-look, ignore, not comprehend….”a man who IS IN Christ”?

24-7, 365, I have Direct Communication with the Lord God. I am fortunate to live in an Era, of readily available Scriptures, I can purchase, own, AND was schooled and taught How to read, and Choose what and when I elect to read and study and make appeals TO the SUPREME TEACHER for His Understanding of His own words.

Christ founded the Church (see Matt. 16:18-19).

I do not require you to point out, what I just said, “AS IF”, you are pointing out something I was not aware of.

Not some mere human being coming along in the 16th century or later. And Christ promised that the "gates of hell" would never "prevail" over His Church. Are you claiming He lied or failed?

What a load of Gaslighting. I never said, nor implied, nor claimed any such nonsense.
