Ex-Catholic looking for help becoming protestant

[Sam Davis]

The only truth that seems to have mattered to God is

All truth matters to God. After all he IS the truth. John 14:6

One more thought. We are not called to be Protestants. What is a Protestant? Someone defined by the Roman Catholic Church, because that is what Protestants historically protested. Instead of identifying ourselves as being protesters of this or that, should we not instead be identifying ourselves in a proactive way, simply as Christians?

The Catholic Church teaches false doctrine. That was the reason for the reformation. Of course truth matters to God. Why are you having trouble comprehending?

Yes, truth matters to God.. Truth is also the simple fact that God could care less what you "call" yourself when it comes to "religion"...

I could be a Muslim, Buddhist, or whatever...... turn to Christ... be a child of God...Hold Christ as my savior and not associate with any of the Christian denominations... and still be saved.

It actually means a lot.

Actually... you need to give evidence.... sorry. but true.

So, two babies... One baptized, one not.. both at a park and get mauled by a dog and die... what happens to each?

Only God knows the answer to that.

All truth matters to God. After all he IS the truth. John 14:6

And His truth is our will does not count before His and we should love all as self. No problems in the world if all obeyed but man is more interested in our rights over our responsibility. That is truth.

Actually... you need to give evidence.... sorry. but true.

And I have done that.

Remember when I mentioned the letters to the 7 Churches in Revelation.

You seem bitter and confused.

Yes but many Christians like to divvy up the pot and create division within. Jesus on the other hand said the only real division was between the ways of man and the ways of the Kingdom, world vs Kingdom.
