I would bet there are questions some Christians (Catholic in my case) here would love to ask on FR to strengthen their faith, but the question would come off as sounding doubtful or non Christian and we would be destroyed.
Would be nice if we could ask them openly. The answer would likely reinforce our faith.
Interesting insight.
There is no good format to do it. Open threads invite inter-confessional rancor, and Catholic Caucus threads don’t allow even comparisons between confessions. So-called “ecumenical” threads are a rarity.
You are welcome to peruse my old threads (see profile) and ask anything you want. I’ll answer if and when I have time.
If you are unwilling to challenge every doctrine that is pushed off on you by testing it against the word, you will be destroyed for real by he who created us.
That was the apostle John's admonition to us.
“Try the spirits, whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.”
1John 4:1
Sent you a PM.
There is a story of the man whose son was about to be healed. After a doubt and Jesus’s objection, the man said “I believe, help my unbelief” see Mark 9:24.
So pray to God for more faith. He grants it, Php. 1:29
See also Eph. 4:7, 1Jn. 5:13, 1Cor. 10:13
I’m on a tight schedule so may not get back soon.
If there's a chance previously unanswered questions will reinforce your personal faith in the Lord, there is no greater quest in this life. NOTHING nor anyone should stop you, nor should you fear ridicule with such your sincerity to feel closer to God.
JMHO.
Ask, I teach Catechism and I’m a convert. I’ve taught every grade from 1st to Confirmation class. There are no dumb questions. You could just message me.
You are letting your DOUBT rule you.
Well; what's it to be?
Destroyed or Reinforced?
I don’t go to mass as often as I should but my actual faith is stronger now than it ever was before. So I would say this article has a lot of truth to it.
