Is arrogance OK in your religion? How about trolling and baiting under the cloak
of civility? Your carefully worded essays are really nothing more than Catholic
bashing. You do fairly well, until that hatred of yours for Rome manages to permeate every one of your writings.

Don't fret about my salvation. Here's the tried and true stock answer.


"Are you saved?" asks the Fundamentalist.


The Catholic should reply: "As the Bible says, I am already saved (Rom. 8:24, Eph. 2:5–8), but I’m also being saved (1 Cor. 1:8, 2 Cor. 2:15, Phil. 2:12), and I have the hope that I will be saved (Rom. 5:9–10, 1 Cor. 3:12–15). Like the apostle Paul I am working out my salvation in fear and trembling (Phil. 2:12), with hopeful confidence in the promises of Christ (Rom. 5:2, 2 Tim. 2:11–13)."

In my 27 years as a Christian and 26 years preaching the Gospel, and 15 years in Asia, and 6 years in the (95%+) Roman Catholic Philippines, I've never heard anything near that kind of response. You have a lot of educating to do among your own Catholic people. But (if it was you) you said that the Scriptures are profitable but insufficient. So what is your sufficiency for your soul's salvation?

An excellent post. I strongly advise you to feed this troll nothing more. No answer will every be sufficient for him, because his work is not genuinely concerned with you.

Please don't be baited. :O)
