Greetings Bill,
thank you so much for you words to me.
I hear every bit... however, i was not aware that there was such darkness regarding my heart towards (roman) Catholics.
In fact, only yesterday i was encouraging someone (offline) regarding the (roman) Catholic church as being one that has remained constant (i did not get into the not-so-holy past) and often if one wants a fairly solid take on many Biblical 'topics' they are probably one of the best places to ask/research.
Only last week i was also asked about the (roman) Catholic church and to their surprise, i gave a higher praise than they expected.
However, i am quite convinced that the Church is not the Roman Catholic church and as with your reply to Member @PloughBoy those who are His are not limited to a body that emerged some time after the Lord returned to His Father.
Like many institutions, man fouls thing up and we need the Lord to guide us through, each and every day, every step of the way... as we follow Him
I am reminded of a snippet of Scripture:
by faith....
and i think you know where this can be found.
Thank you anyway for your caring words
Bless you ....><>

The same could be said for you. To be a true follower of Christ, you must forgive those who trespass against you. And what i am saying is that darkness you still hold in your heart against the catholics.
My brother, i too want you to recieve the fulness of Christ, but until the catholic issues have been remedied within your heart. This faith you have now, will only remain as a shadow of what your faith can become.
