User Posted May 25 Report Posted May 25 So... I guess this has become some random history trivia now that you can't defend your dishonest claims about what Catholics believe? Quote
blackbird Posted May 25 Author Report Posted May 25 We would do well to look at what happened in the past and understand what must be done to avoid this kind of thing in the future. Basic human rights must be upheld and respected for everyone. Quote

Pretty much figured out the whole thing was a load of BS by early teen years Well, it doesn't sound like you learned much or anything about what the Bible teaches. So you came to the conclusion it was a load of BS. Sadly, you were not taught properly or for some reason have been misled since your early teen years, which is a strong possibility. Teens and young men are often misled by the world, the flesh, and the Devil which work overtime to deceive people. I fell into that trap when I was a teen. I craved pleasure and good times. I also was a lukewarm follower of the false religion of Rome. But because my first marriage in my twenties was a disaster from the start, something clicked in my thinking telling me there was something that I needed to learn about God and life. It was after I married my second wife, who was a Christian, that one night when I was home alone and about 35 yrs old, I heard the gospel on a radio program. I heard the following: "1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV Also, I heard: "13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13 KJV I believe God used this message to reach me. I believed that evening and called up Jesus Christ to save me. I realized my life was a dead end and I was lost. So I called upon Him to save me and He forgave me of all my sins and sinful life. He gave me eternal life. Although I am far from perfect, I believe he died and shed his blood for my sins and by his grace he saved me and redeemed me. The New Testament KJV explains it all and gives assurance of eternal life to those who believe and accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior and believe he died for them and was raised from the dead.
