I want to thank each and every one of you for your comments…It matters not were you stand, so long as you keep searching for Gods truth.
As a child I was raised a Catholic. When I was eight I started skipping school to go and sit in an empty church…I just wanted to be close to God, and talk to him. At nine I wanted to be a priest. My Grand father said he would help me. Each week I would go to a class with other kids, and the priest would tell us about God. I remember everything was a secret? My Grand father said if I asked the priest a question each week, and came home with the question, and the answer…he would give me a nickel. That was a big deal back then. One week the priest talked about original sin. He said that is why we die. I lied to my Darling Grandfather, and said I had asked why we die, and the priest said because of original sin...my first nickel. This went on for some time. I was the kid on the block…I always had ice cream money.
Somebody had a baby and it was baptized. We had a big gathering of people at my Grandfathers house. People were standing, eating talking all over the place, even in the yard. The priest was right in the middle of the mess eating. I asked him, “Father, were already Catholic. Why are we baptized. “To remove original sin,” replied the priest.
Well, that was the day I stopped being a Catholic.
I have looked deep into many religions. I found good people in all of them. Only problem, most of the leaders were saying the same things. Things that went against Gods written word.
I was a Minister for almost thirty years. I left that because I was asked to teach things that were not true. That’s not saying those who wanted me to teach things I knew were wrong. I know many believed what they believed.
All religions say they have the truth. Yet, they say all the others are the false religions?
The Bible calls false religions, Babylon the Great.., the great Whore riding the wild beast.
The Great whore are religions. The beast? The Governments of the earth.
What am I left with? I have something worth more than our whole universe…a Bible.
I encourage you, Read your Bible. Pick it apart. Don’t expect it to give up it’s secrets easily. Ask God to give you understanding. Ask, and keep asking.
