I grew up in Catholic Church, but no attend a non denominational church. I’m not a Catholic Church “hater.” I LOVED my time in the Catholic Church. I do not like the wall built between Christians.
I was very blessed to hear the following testimony from a Messianic Jew that spoke to my bible college class. I’ll paraphrase:
He was raised a liberal Jew. The only spiritual guidance from his father was, “We’re Jewish. We don’t believe in Jesus.” His parents were prosperous and they wanted him to have a good education. The best school near to them was a Catholic School. The principle pulled him aside and recognized his faith, but encouraged him to join his classmates in the weekly Mass on Fridays. He glady joined.
This is the part that brought joy to my heart. He said, when he heard the Gospel, as the Catholics presented it, at 12 years old, he was convicted and asked God to show Himself to him, if Jesus was real. Two weeks later his mother announced to her family that she had become a believer in Christ Jesus and a born again Christian. He had the courage to tell his father that he too have become a believer and his 2 sisters also confessed their belief in Christ.
Today, he has become an Israeli citizen, married to another Messianic Jew, and they are on their way to Israel to share the gospel with the Jewish people in Isael.
To me, this makes all the arguments and debates meaningless. The young man heard about Jesus in a Catholic Mass, became saved and though now working under the “Protestant umbrella”, he is on a mission to reach God’s beloved chosen ones, the Jews, with the Gospel of Christ.
Hope you were blessed by that as much as I was.
