Dear BradK, I suppose I do believe Catholic theology has more truth in it than other denominations. I certainly held the view, at the time, that when I was evangelical I had more of the truth. I believe most people think that their denomination has the best theology. I think this is normal. What has surprised me with these postings is I expected people would be challenged by the scriptures I presented, but everyone seems blind to any point I would make. I have seen and engaged in arguments in the past between evangelicals and JW's, evangelicals and the Word-faith movement, Pentecostals and Baptists etc and no light is ever generated: only heat. I call it ping pong with bible verses. What we can conclude from this I don't know, but as a Catholic at least I have a Church to appeal to as arbitrar. Anyway, around the turn of the seventh century Pope Gregory sent Augustine of Cantebury with the gospel of Christ to England, to the Anglo-Saxon race (not Baptist missionaries or Pentecostal missionaries) and I hold to the faith once delivered 'at least to my forefathers.' I know it is a different story for you Americans. For the record I have far more in common with conservative Protestants (like George W.) than with progressive liberal Catholics (like Kerry) who might as well be aliens. I don't so much have a chip on my shoulder against Protestants (actually conservative evangelicals); rather I have a lot of common ground to dispute with them! Best Wishes Dalcent |

Greetings Dalcent! You wrote: "What has surprised me with these postings is I expected people would be challenged by the scriptures I presented, but everyone seems blind to any point I would make." I would suggest that we aren't blind to your points, we just don't always agree with them! :-) I haven't seen anything in your posts as of yet that I haven't heard many times before. This is not meant as an insult! :-) I'm just trying to say that I have been a Christian and a student of Scripture for a long time now (34 years). However, if Scriptural issues are to be discussed in a mutually beneficial manner, there must be a dialogue and interaction. I don't have to agree with you, but I need to present my reasoning to you as to why I don't agree. Conversely, the same is true of you. Thus far, when I have presented my reasoning, you have simply dismissed it out of hand without even presenting any evidence or reasoning. But, don't despair my friend, I am sure that there much where we will agree! ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
