Thank you sister! I have you and your son in prayer!

Even though you are not answering all of my questions, I hope that you are at least considering them in your heart. Consider with all of that also the little Catholic boy attending mass all alone for many years and serving as a faithful altar boy. Why he would be led to leave that and eventually...

Then why was a baptism in water even necessary? You need not answer for most people already know your answer, but you should consider why we are where we are. You are against changes within Catholicism yourself. Why are you right to disagree with those changes and while anyone else you want to...

@Ziggy @Helen @Mayflower @Wynona @Venksta @Taken @lilygrace @Rita @TLHKAJ @amigo de christo @ShineTheLight @otrclassic @Nancy @Backlit and @any others influenced by this sister and this thread. There may be a rumor that some have left are considering leaving this forum because of...

I don't know Greek but I'll tag someone who does: @Episkopos

The mass itself has not changed? When I attended a large part of it was done in Latin. Other than the priests and perhaps the nuns I doubt that anyone in attendance understood much of the Latin spoken. I was an altar boy and while we made some responses to the priest in Latin, we were not...

Is it? I remember my baptism in the Catholic Church at 6 years of age. I do not remember anyone explaining repentance to me. I repented at age 32 prior to baptism in water in a Pentecostal Church.

You should not generalize so much... The mass has changed since Vatican II in the 1960's. When I was a faithful attending Catholic during the 1950's, what you say of "more scripture" reading was Not the case. The only Bible reading done then was whatever short verse or verses read by the priest...

Why repent? Why turn toward God at all? Why not remain in sin and death?

He forgets at times and lashes out with his mouth but I simply remind him of where he is and what he is doing with God. Quickly he agrees and he softens in all ways. He knows very well when he misses God even slightly, but he refuses to stay in those places. He is teaching me all of the time...

Give God the glory!

Everyone needs to read the Book of Jeremiah. God sent the man to the children of Israel with His message. He told Jeremiah beforehand that the people were not going to heed his words, but it was necessary for him to speak them anyway. He did and what God told him was true. Why would they not...

Praying now, brother!

Thank you sister! When it rains it pours. There several other things also troubling us. I won't detail them here, but do continue to keep my wife and I in prayer as well.

An update here. My pastor is weak and continues trying to be patient, but after a lifetime of ministering to people all over the nation and the world being forced to sit at home and wait is hard for him. He has a special test scheduled with a urologist on July 15 to obtain more details on what...

I do not hide what I believe. Sorry but I have not less than three life [physical and spiritual] threatening situations my wife and I are dealing with now concerning people who need both prayer as well as physical help, which are pressing us for time. At 77 I run out stamina quickly and my wife...

The proof is to be in your heart. You cannot transfer that proof to someone else simply because you want to do so. What you need to do when and if you meet such a person is to pray that God will open his heart to see what God is offering. If your prayer is sincere and you are righteous before...

And without the quickening of the Spirit, what does anyone have?

And a person, who is baptized in water [H2O], but whose heart is Not directed toward God, is lost, without regard to any label, he may bear, be it Catholic, Protestant or something else!

Keep on trying brother. Mostly people have made up their minds already no matter how it reads.
