As a former Catholic, you will always be a Catholic. The mark of your baptism does not leave your soul.
You are just an in active Catholic at this time in your life. All you need to do is to sit down with a priest and get your questions answered.
Kinda like the Muslims think, right? Like Skypilot, I had no choice in being baptized as an infant into the Roman Catholic church. When I learned the truth of the Gospel, I received it, left the RCC and was baptized in obedience to Christ as an outward testimony to my faith - that's the one that counts!
Yup; that's what the Book your chosen religion has produced; says.
And, using that as a springboard, the leadership of your chosen religion has come up with all kinds of non-biblical things to include into it's version of Christianity, saying; in essense; "Well GOD could have done it; lookee here! Matthew 19:26!"
It's too bad that Rome fails on a major point - also found in the book it produced:
“The mark of your baptism does not leave your soul.
Except this is a belief without evidence or Scriptural support.
As comforting as this delusion may be to you, the act of sprinkling (with proper form and matter) does not render one regenerate, for which the faith which baptism requires and expresses is required, (ACts 2:28; 8:36,37; 15:7-9) which an infant cannot provide nor does he need to.
Cease with the propaganda which continues to be exposed, by the grace of God.
There is nothing in Scripture that states that baptism leaves a mark of any kind on anyone's soul.
That's a complete fabrication.
Yet you keep making that assertion.
Do you have some official, church defined and approved statement to that effect? Or is it just a claim that you keep making?
All you need to do is to sit down with a priest and get your questions answered.
And your usual assumption that just because someone left Catholicism they must have *unanswered questions*. Exactly what questions do you think we'd have?
On the contrary, I don't have any questions about Catholicism. I compared its teachings to Scripture and that answered them already, hence my decision to leave that church. and follow JESUS.
You keep claiming that those who left have unanswered questions. How do you know? Or are you just assuming?
It has become clear to me over the years that Catholics are just totally incapable of comprehending that someone could investigate Catholicism, or be raised in it, and choose to NOT follow it any more.
What depth of indoctrination and mind control!
There is not one former Catholic who has gotten saved and left the Catholic church who ever indicated in the least that they did so because of something they didn't understand or they had 1questios they didn't know they could go to a priest to have answered.
Your assumption that they couldn't figure that out themselves is condescending at the very least.
Every Catholic I've seen on this board who has left gives the same reason. They compared the teachings of Scripture to the teachings of Catholicism and found them incompatible and have chosen to follow Scripture and Jesus instead of Catholicism and man.
“All you need to do is to sit down with a priest and get your questions answered.”
Unless your questions deal with Scripture. You will find the average priest has had little training in Bible.
You will do better to read Scripture yourself, asking God to open your eyes and speak to you.
And of course there are many extremely well-trained Bible teachers, pastors, scholars and books to get any questions answered.
