I just saw your post and wanted to let you know I haven't forgot about you. If you have any questions please let me know. I do know that we probably have different bibles so I'll try to remeber to type them. Just one rule. Anything I tell you you have to look it up in the bible. If you don't understand let me know or ask your mom and dad. Have a good day and God Bless you.

Stephanie decided to stop participating in this forum, but I was going to mention your post to her when she got home from school.

I see in another thread that you have decided to drop out too. Well if you change your mind, check and see if she responds.

If she prefers she can just PM me. That wat she won't feel like she's being attacked if she misunderstands something and says the wrong thing. I think a lot of people forget that she is just a baby in Christ and is here seeking love and understanding. I understand why she quit. I hope it didn't get her to down. Glad she is still seeking despite her discouragement.

Daddy told me what you posted. Thank you for your kind thoughts. I didn't post my original thread because I wanted to start arguing with people about the Catholic faith. I was just interested to see if people had the same feelings and experiences I have had.

I started to go to mass with daddy because I wanted to and I was interested. He never gave me any pressure at all. He just said to go along and do what he did and I would just fit right in. So I did. He also told me when I went up in the communion line to cross my arms sothe priestwould know I wasn't ready to receive communion. I was a little suprised when he put his hand on my head and blessed me. The strange thing was that I felt it, inside. Daddy showed me how to ask Jesus' mother to pray for me and someone very close to me and so I started lighting a candle and doing it and once again, I felt like I was being heard. When I talked to the priest he told me that's how the Spirit works and that I should just keep on. He told me to consider myself as part of his flock which made me feel very comfortable like I really was. I never really read much of the Bible because it just didn't seem very helpful. But daddy has showed me how to pray the rosary and we have started praying the liturgy of the hours in the morning and evening together which really means a lot to me.

When I posted my thread I was expecting to hear from other people, particularly Catholics, about their experiences with prayer and at mass, but it really didn't work out that way.

So I've told my mom about this and she is getting interested. She is dating a guy she really likes who is Catholic but hasn't been to mass in years and years. Well she wants him to take her and tell her about it so I guess he's going to.

So that's my story and if somebody wants to argue with me I just don't want to do that.

Hello DLG,

I haven't posted in a while so I may have missed a bunch of stuff leading up to your last few posts. I don't want to speak for anyone, but from my experience, the reason why things on Catholocism gets people so worked up is because of the very non-Biblical nature of many things that they practice. And when someone sees one practicing that which is non-Biblical, it is the tendancy of those who know better to jump out there and try to 'save' those who are doing that very thing. The problem is that most of us are WAY overzealous about doing that very thing. Most people mean very well, and have nothing but good intentions, but our passion often outweighs our common sense sometimes. We feel the need to defend and defend and defend to the point that arguments and nasty words begin to come out when they normally would not.

I'm not aware of your situation, but I would just like to say that if you are truly seeking, then please continue to do so. But do it in the Word. Don't seek in a particular church, or let a particular church or person color your view of the Lord. Seek Him out through His Word. Everything else is secondary. Seek Him through His word and you can't go wrong.

Pastor Steve

Have you ever been a Catholic.You have a lot of opinions about what Catholics do? or don't do. Non-Bibilical narture? You show your lack of knowledge or tact for a preacher.You see the lies on here and you call it over zealous?? it is very obvious to me your motivation.

To daddys little girl: I am a convert and darlin I don't believe you will find what you are looking for on this forum. Continue on and pray and you will find the truth.

It started again so if it's okay with your parents go ahead and PM me. As soon as I know it's okay I will PM. You said the sripture hasn't helped so I thought since I teach Sunday school I can start helping you learn how to read and study scripture. It's preschool and kindergarten lessons, but the really confusing things for little kids aren't there.

Just so all of you know I was the one who wrote the Sunday school lessons. We are trying to put a new curriculum in place so that the kids are learning what they are supposed when they are supposed to. They still have the core, all of the major details and most of the minor, just said in a way that a child can undertand. The things that are ommitted are for example in David and Goliath, David cuts off his head and takes the head with him.

What we had before I didn't even think was the core. So I was given permission to redo the lessons. I have seen a major improvement in their knowledge.

I know. Weird isn't it. I'm inclined to think that some of these folks have insufficient confidence in their own beliefs. They see people who believe a bit differently as a threat to their own faith.

Venator, It didn't say that you did. Sorry you took it that way I was just meaning that I am trying to help someone have an understanding of God's word and there seems to be a lot of people that would rather attack her belief then take the time to give her a few verses and explain what they mean. Which is why I said she should just PM me rather than be in constant attack. For any of you that are doing this....She is only a girl who is looking for the truth and you aren't willing to give it to her. So I ask you is your approach being done in a Christ like manner or are you speaking with your emotions. You have an oppurtunity to spread the Gospel and your not. Is that okay with you?
