"I rely on God for answers and I get my answers from the Bible."

So what happens when the next guy down the street does the same and the two of you arrive at different conclusions?


Something maybe a little different than what happens when (2) Catholics disagree on doctrinal issues (and we know that they do) ... we keep studying and praying to God for guidance.

The problem is in our imperfect hearing/understanding of God's truths.

Fortunately most of us have a lifetime to get to where God's leading us.

The Catholics I know also pray for guidance when they struggle with their beliefs. they are no different than anyone else in this regard.

"The problem is in our imperfect hearing/understanding of God's truths."
Then you admit your beliefs are not without flaw. That's good and it also illustrates the parable of the log and the splinter.

"Fortunately most of us have a lifetime to get to where God's leading us."
I would count that as an eternity. :-)
