"Most Protestant pastors will tell you that when they went into the ministry that they got a call from God"

That's what David Koresh, Jim Jones, the pastors from the Moonies; Mormons; and Jehovah's Witnesses also say!

Indeed, that's what everyone says, including Catholics. I speak regularly with a Hindu religious leader who feels God is leading him too. The existence of a counterfeit does NOT disprove the existence of a true original. The problem comes in distinguishing one from the other. For that you need a familiarity with the truth. God's word is truth. Problem solved.

Peace,

That bears repeating! Thanks, SR! \

Hebrews 4: ...12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are-yet he did not sin. 16 Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
