YuRa:
I apologize for my rude and blunt statements which I would like to be deleted because they were written out of anger…forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive others…
You’re allready forgiven by us so don’t worry about it. We are all sinners and sin. We just have to learn to deal with it and move on. Just remember to forgive me if I offend you too.
I will come back to the forum after I have studied what Catholics actually believe, and not stereotype.
You’re not the first protestant who went to Catholics and told us what we beleived and why it was wrong then decide to learn the truth later. At least you can admit we know our Faith better then you.
I know many protestants on this site who are still telling us what we believe and why it’s wrong but they won’t admitt ther’re ignorent of the Faith. You’re a better person for admitting that. Now if millions of other protestants could do the same thing?
I understand a little more about your position now. When I come back it will be under a different name, and I will debate politely and not with anger.
Don’t change your name. We all make mistakes, you should see some of my posts! Oh my God. When you read them you need to make the sign of the cross, roll your eyes and shake your head back and forth and ask Blessed Mary to help me.
Suspended means you can take some time off, go to the beach, and come back refreashed. Banned means, uh, you get a new handle I guess?
For now I need to know what I am up against.
You’re not up against anything. Jesus welcomes you home into His Catholic Church whenever you want to cross the Tiber! The only barrier is the one Satan has put up to block your journey home to Rome. The only thing we have here is open arms and the Gospel of Christ.
Please learn my position as well and were we derive our different doctrines (solo fide and so on).
As an EX-protestant for 27 adult years I not only lived them, I knew them. When I learned them, when I learned the truth about them, when I learned Scripture, when the ‘scales’ were lifted off my eyes and I could finnaly ‘see’ His truth, when I learned history and the early Church - I cried and the Holy Ghost led me Home to Rome. I do not want to be Catholic, I did not choose this path, the Spiritus Sancti (Holy Ghost) placed me here. Christ told me to be here, heavenly Father smiles that I’m here. I’d rather be protestant so I could do whatever I want and pick and choose what to believe in. I like to sleep in on Sunday and not go to mass or church. I’d love to be back in the MARINEs and go to Iraq and shoot at people. I want to do whatever I want because I know I’m already saved! I am here because Jesus told us to folow and obey for a HOPE for salvation. I want that HOPE more then my family or my life or my pleasure here on earth. Faith is not doing what you want, it is doing what He wants. I live by theses words at times:
“…Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life…”
To whom shall we go?
Faith is following Jesus no matter what or where, even if it takes you into His Catholic Church where He wants you. As I quoted above, even the apostles doubted Jesus and what He taught.
Being a protestant was easy. Believe whatever you want and do whatever you want and feels good. Being a Catholic is hard. Following Christ is not easy and it is hard work.
Thank you for your patience, and please follow my request to delete my posts and account.
YuraGo in Gods peace, we look foward to your retun, here or in the life to come!
PS, I wish I could delete a post or two too. But, Jesus knows everything we say and at our judgment in the life to come we will have to account for every word to Him.
I think we all know the Lord’s Prayer well enough to understand that forgiveness is not only necessary but a good thing. I’ve been learning how to forgive in my personal life and I know it’s spilling out to other areas as well. Rest assured, there is no need to feel ashamed of any anger you have express here.
