Anyone who is pro-abortion is not in good standing with the Lord just because they happened to be baptized as a Christian be Protestant or Catholic. Your relatives have left Christianity and their membership in the Catholic Church, whether they accept it or not. If they are getting support of their abortion stance from some RC priests or bishops then those clergy are phonies also.

I read John 6 and I interpret it as Christ establishing the Eucharist. Don't Protestants believe they are best judge of what Scripture means? My born-again friend says he is his own best interpreter. Why then can't I read John 6 and take what Jesus said as being literal in conjunction with his words at the Last Supper.
You believe differently, fine, that's your business. It would do me no good to belittle your beliefs.

Obama and company (your lefty relatives and mine included) are pursuing and promoting evil. Should we not fight them together? Would we let Satan and Obama with his minions win over the souls of millions because we differ on how we read Scripture? At this point in History isn't fighting the Left doing the will of God? I will take you at your word that you are a conservative. I will accept you at your word that I can believe what I want to, and I will continue to believe in Transubstantiation.
Peace be with you also.

Most every one here believed in Santa Claus until the first or second grade, when older kids wised us up.

People are free to believe as they wish, true.  But truth is still truth, and the Gospel must still be proclaimed, and falsehood discredited.  I know we see this issue differently, and it will not be sorted out until Jesus returns.  Until then, we follow the path He has set for us.  In all honesty, I am more concerned about the Gospel than I am about anything the lefties do or think.  They are bit players in the larger drama.  This is about souls.

Nevertheless, I have no desire to harass anyone, nor to spend my own time frivolously, so I try not to follow these debates too many times around the block.  In the end, God is the one who must change hearts and minds.  

Peace,

SR
