How can you think you know about the Lord except that the Church has told you about him? Do you claim as, say, Joseph Smith did ,that God has spoken to you personally? Why should I believe you if you are making such a claim? My guess is that your faith in the Lord came to you through some missionary, whether that be a parent or a friend, who would therefore be a member of the Church. Is Christianity not a religion? The dictionary meaning of the word is Belief in a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe. Don’t see how Christianity, in any of its forms, does not fit that definition. Of course, we do believe as some do not that there is but one God and that he is a person.

It’s called SCRIPTURE and PRAYER.
My Bible was NOT written by the RC church.
My Bible is the King James.
No it’s NOT a just a “religion” it’s a personal relationship with GOD.
Are all of you folks dim?
There was this little fracas that started in the 16 th century AD., maybe you have heard of it?
It is called the REFORMATION.
I NEVER told any of you people what or how to believe. That is not my task.
I guess that it’s too much to expect the same courtesy towards me.
Am I supposed to revisit the Reformation with y’all?
Do you think that the RC church would win THIS time?
I stated my considered opinion.
Deal with it.
