Also risk,
MY PERSONAL OPINION OUT OF CARE IS THIS...
SINCE, you mentioned you had been a catholic and then the Lord delivered you out of that system.
Wouldnt you truely consider everything that people said, concerning ETERNITY AND THE BIBLE? FROM THE BIBLE? I WOULD.
Think about it....
At one point, you believed (as a catholic, generally speaking)
that you could eat Jesus blood/body in the eucharist. That saying repetitive prayers in the rosary, and also to a man(priest) would do anything. Or _______? The list goes on and on.
Risk, I decided that if....i wanted to reach my unsaved friends, than I should at least understand their believes DIRECTLY FROM THIER TEACHINGS.
SO....I HAVE READ 100'S OF 1000'S of books since I have been Born again.
ALL I CAN SAY IS........TRY ME. (or mig, or others)
THAT IS TO SAY, I am not perfect by anymeans...but at least I care to listen to others and CHALLENGE THEM WITH ISSUES THAT MATTER.
All for the moment.
It is a puzzling thing. The truth knocks on the door and you say, "Go away, I'm looking for the truth," and so it goes away. Puzzling.
Stop by the ETERNITY board for a contrarian approach to all mattersof life
