3 Doctrinal Areas I’m Struggling with Right Now

Going further in exposing those who insist that the doctrines of the Catholic Church are the correct ones, we would like to point out that no human being, not even Jesus, is perfect. Jesus could have sinned but did not. Jesus could get angry, which he did on certain occasions, once even knocking over tables in a temple.

The Catholic Church as well as Jehovah’s Witnesses attribute infallibility to their church leaders, but that is contrary to the thought or teaching of the Bible.

Papal infallibility, in Roman Catholic theology, the doctrine that the pope, acting as supreme teacher and under certain conditions, cannot err when he teaches in matters of faith or morals.

The Pope isn’t infallible, the same as the Watchtower and Tract Bible Society is not infallible.

The writer of this reblogged article should be aware that there are many good reasons not to convert to the Roman or any other Catholic faith, or even to come under the authority of any Church he or she can find on this globe. Churches are only means, no necessity, to come to God.

I think there is something to be said of being willing to come under authority, even when it would require you to submit areas of your life and belief that you haven’t completely worked out yet.

Good that the writer can’t accept the doctrines the Catholic Church has of Mary and the Saints, because the God of the Bible is very clear, that He has to be considered the Only One True God above all gods and that He as the only Eternal Spirit (i.e; having no birth and not death) Who no man can see (Jesus and all other gods were seen). One does not have to be “ready to dive into those deep theological waters” because the Bible speaks very clear logical language. “Those deep waters” many people encounter or see by several denominations are just there because those denominations do not keep to the Biblical teachings but have set their own human teachings above the Biblical teachings.

The best thing to have your faith grow is by going from the first book of the Bible to the last, by just letting the Words of the Bible speak to you, forgetting for a while the words of many churches who most often claim for themselves that they are the only true church.

Change is never easy.

Especially when that change is in a foundational area of your life.

Like faith.

That is why I want to be totally upfront with those that read this blog. The change that is taking place in me isn’t easy. I’ve been a Protestant Christian since I was 8 years old, and my whole life has revolved around it. That means for the better part of 32 years I have followed, been involved in, and worshipped as a passionate Protestant Christian. I have raised my family here, worked here, and served here.

It has been home for myself, and my family.

It’s never easy to change something that is so deeply entrenched in your life, and the life of your family.

That is why I am taking my time with this transition. This isn’t something where you blow up old foundations to lay new ones. You must…
