@amigo de christo, you are correct in that I don't remember you. To be honest: what I actually believe and what you're probably thinking don't remotely match. I thank you for your concern, but I'm going to keep following where Christ leads me.

God's way, Goodness, & Truth predate the creation of the Earth. The remained unchanged as the Earth was made, before Christ's mortal ministry, and after it. It didn't just suddenly exist one day- it's always been.

AMEN!!!

Call me bitter, but in my experience people 99% of the time add on more stuff that the basics "believe in Christ and in the resurrection".

I very much say "Amen" to this, and I think everyone else would too. The disagreements come in on questions like: "What are the specifics of that one Gospel?" "Which things are essential and non-essential in our understanding / doing?" Etc. That's where you get all of the disagreements so...

I personally the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to be the one. This is not because somebody told me it was so (that's highly irrelevant), but the result of much personal study & prayer. I do find that to be Christ's one true church, founded before this world was even made. There...

theefaith, you continually giving non-answers to my question is only serving to damage my view of your personal faith.

The 4 answers I cited are ones that I find very low quality which Catholics often cite, such as theefaith citing the "because my priest told me so". Then why are you not Ethiopian Orthodox, whom also make the same historical trace back? I respect MUCH about the Catholic Church. If you want...

Saying "Incidentally Catholics make up over 50% of the worlds Christians so most Christians believe that the Catholic Church is the one that Jesus founded." is appeal to popular vote. I do believe that both of us can agree that God's Truth in not determine by the quantity of humans saying...

And why do YOU believe of all of those factures you believe the correct one? With all possible respect, I find the following answers to be of very poor quality: -Appealing to popular vote. -Appealing to political and monetary power -"Well, my priest told me so" -"I hadn't really thought about...

And only Catholics believe that church is the Catholic Church or that Pope Francis Peter's successor -- it is belief specific to 1 of the 10,000's of denominations. And folks from all the other denominations don't care one lick about it, nor find it supported by Matthew 16:18 or John 10:16...

Only Catholics believe that Christ founded the Catholic Church. That's a denominational-specific belief, not written in the Bible. Let's be purposeful in our beliefs, thoroughly studying, and not just believing something because a mortal told us to.

For the $0.02 it's worth, I really dislike the term "Biblical". I find it's much more productive to talk about "what's flat out stated in the Bible" and "what is in line with the Bible" as being two clearer topics.

My current idea is to have our kids go “trick or treating” around to stuffed animals placed around the house, doing activities at each one before the candy.

Let's try to be respectful even when we disagree with people.

I acknowledge your belief that the new and everlasting covenant is the Catholic Church. However, needless to say, I do not agree that belief.

Zero of that actually has anything to do with what I wrote.

Talk to a person whom believes Sola Scriptura if you want Sola Scriptura answers. I do not believe that. I also don't find a single thing in the Bible that says "Jane, you should be Catholic." And having consulted God myself & scriptura, the conclusion is that no, I should not be Catholic...

This is silly. The Sola Scriptura approach is "If it's part of God's saving Truths, then it would be recorded in the Bible." Anything which isn't part of God's saving Truths aren't recorded in the Bible. Marian doctrines aren't in there, therefore aren't on the guest list of God's saving...

I'm wondering why you're putting in so much effort when you know she's never going to see your position as being part of God's Truths of Sola Scriptura.
