No problem with the “understanding English” part. I’ve been in some Heated debates here and frustration can come out.

My only point is that one can be open to debate and consider all sides. Or can say, my point is absolute and disregard one POV absolutely.

I did my time in “Bible Churches” met some wonderfully intelligent people who totally disregarded anything the Catholic Church said, simply because it was from the Catholic Church. It made me look back at the RCC from a different pov. I could do that because I grew up Catholic.

When the RCC’s Bible was quoted, with any backup, I was thrown back to the “the Holy Spirit told me”. Well the Holy Spirit lead me back home. After my time in Bible Study Fellowship, who put those subtle digs in to Catholic teachings I now study in my parish. With open eyes to all POV.

I have a friend who was totally Anti-Catholic. A co-worker told him to look at the Bible from a pov that the Catholics were right. Suddenly, a whole new world opened up. He and his wife and now the VERY best apologists in our parish.

God works in mysterious ways.

If nothing else, I take some comfort in knowing that no where in scripture is it written, “Those who score 78% or better on the Theology test will be saved...”
