What a nice uplifting post, thank you for that contribution.
And thank you also for posting that scripture from the “Catholic” Bible as I am currently in a discussion about that verse with a Catholic.
You are welcome, Syncro. I pray your efforts will help him or her to see the Light.
To get to know the Light and to love the Light. I could go on, but you get my point. It’s just that I remember often the tear-stained floor (literally) from which He raised me up and I pray the same lifting (salvation) for others.
Reading so many posts here from ex-Catholics, I’m glad that I was not raised as such because I know how weak I am believing myself to be strong, how easy it is to be deceived when we just KNOW that we are in the right, and I remember what things I believed before He got hold of me. And I’m still learning. And He is still full of grace and truth and mercy and forgiveness for all who will come to Him. If we’ll but take a step, He’ll drag us the rest of the way if need be.
Perhaps by the hair of the head and maybe kicking and screaming, but He will accomplish it. AMEN.
God bless you, Syncro.
