First, has it occurred to you that your frequent posts of this nature might offend nonCatholics?
Given the high volume of posts I make to the forum, I have not kept track of those on the topic of conversion. There is another freeper who maintains a Conversion Ping List. That said, you are the first person to indicate a sense of offense at posts regarding converts. This is an open forum with threads that span every range of views - the intent being, discussion. You and I have the option of participating in the discussion ... or not.
Anytime someone moves from the damned column to the saved, we can all rejoice rightfully. Is that your opinion--that only Catholics can be saved? You respond that is neither your nor the Church's position (sitetest might take exception there). But that is certainly the impression you leave by these victorious postings.
How do I leave that impression when I post a thread on an open forum and only ping Catholics? Am I happy when a protestant theologian like Dr. Scott Hahn reads himself into the Catholic Church? Of course! He did not cross the Tiber as the result of proselytization but through the Holy Spirit.
Each time, it's as though you're holding aloft another Protestant scalp. How would you react if Protestants responded in kind?
God calls us to the faith; not me! I am more than happy to read threads of Catholic theologians who have read their way into a Protestant denomination. Post some and ping me, okay?
It might help here to describe mission experiences I have had which inform my inquiry. For example, I have gone door-to-door seeking specifically the unchurched (not to mention the unsaved) to visit our church. When we encounter people who are already churched, we do not attempt to pry them from their present church--God's kingdom would have no net gain. That includes those who attend other Protestant as well as Catholic churches. In our view, God's kingdom would not only have no net gain, but it would suffer loss from such divisive acts.
Missionary activity is very important! God bless you in this work. In which country do you serve as a missionary and to what denomination do you belong?
I have been noticing these posts of yours for some time now--perhaps a dozen or more. I was offended by the first, and by each since.
I'm sorry you feel offended. Is there something in the content of these conversions that truly bothers you? And why? If a man is suffering from a dreadful disease and finds a doctor with the cure, should he refuse treatment?
For your sake, then, I felt a duty to inform you of my reaction. I may be alone, though I doubt it. But you should know, in order to have the opportunity to take that into account in considering how best you should fulfill your Lord's call.
Dear friend, missionary activity began with the Apostles - the witnesses to the life of our beloved Lord, Jesus Christ. The first christians were Catholics who upheld Christ's instructions to go out and preach the "good news". Is there to be only one Church or many? According to Scripture, Christ wanted us to be one (John 17:22-23). We are all as a Church to be of one mind and to think the same (Philippians 2:2; Romans 15:5). There is only to be one "faith" (Ephesians 4:3-6), not many. For the Church is Christ's Body and Christ only had one Body, not many.
If you cannot see that your unending presentation of these stories is inherently offensive for their innate derogation of Protestantism, then I am inadequate to convince you. I shall commend you then to the Holy Spirit, who is able. Best wishes.
