    Q. Where is the best place to find potential converts to Christianity? A. Wherever non-Christians are found. Q. Where are non-Christians found on this internet discussion forum? We should think carefully before answering that question. I’m restricted (by creed, by registration choice and by...

    Matthias talks to the wind, but not without purpose. To forget that is to write me off, and to write me off is to abandon the Catholic / trinitarian Battle Plan in dealing with me, and in dealing with others.

    Am I open to providing Catholics with information they should find useful in getting to know me, their audience, better? Yes. Is the Catholic interested in having that information and using it to help them evangelize me? At this level of conversation, seldom. (That tells me something, whether...

    “Every objection (to converting and becoming a Catholic) comes down to three things” - the author of the Battle Plan tells me / us: Q. Do I believe in God? Yes. Q. Do I believe in Jesus? Yes. Q. Do I believe in the Catholic Church? No. In light of that, where should the Catholic start with...

    Validity of Scripture, the Apocrypha versus the King James

    This is from Hamlet, written about ten years before KJV was first published. Do people who use KJV have difficulty understanding what the Bard is saying? Many of them do. Why is that the case? Does what he says about death align with what scripture says about death?

    This is interesting. I can unsubscribe from emails sent by the author of the Battle Plan at any time, but why would I want to do that? He thinks I’m a Catholic, an assumption on his part. He didn’t ask if I was when I signed up and he hasn’t asked me since signing up if I am or not. I certainly...

    Newbies! You've got to learn to "back yourself" - there are decisions you would never make, if you had the right faith!

    Newbies: Don’t give up on faith when someone comes along and calls you a heretic. A prescription. 2 Timothy 2:15.
