I am now Roman Catholic

[BaileyKeys]

With heartfelt joy, I proclaim that, by the grace of Almighty God, I have been received into the bosom of Holy Mother Church, renouncing the errors and heresies of Reformed Theology. I now embrace the fullness of the Catholic faith, in union with the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, giving thanks to the Divine Majesty for leading me to the truth. As I undertake this sacred journey, I must, with due reverence and humility, take leave of this board, entrusting you all to the mercy and providence of our Lord.

I'm very sorry to hear that, brother. I know that you were relatively new to the board, but am doubtless curious as to what line of reasoning led to such a shift in your thinking. If you don't mind sharing that with me or any of the other folks here, I'm sure it would be appreciated. Regardless, I am sure that you will remain in mine and other board members' thoughts and prayers.

2 Thessalonians 2:10-12, "And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."

Revelation 14:9-11, "And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name."

Unfortunately, Bailey, you have chosen to put faith in "the Holy Mother Church" and not in the Lord Jesus Christ and all of his perfections. May God have mercy on you.

You are greatly deceived and need the Spirit of God to open your eyes before its too late for you.

Few things could make me sadder than this post, especially coming of the heels of other threads on here. My guess is that this has been a long time in coming and is a settled decision on your part. I'd be very interested to know what led to this point, but regardless, I will pray for your soul, for you have made a tragically serious and grievous mistake.

I might add that I don't believe the timing of this post is any coincidence, but that it is the work of the same power that has led you to the Roman system. Please know that there is no Celestial City on the other side of the Tiber.

Best Argument Against Eastern Orthodoxy?

I spoke to a Russian Orthodox priest this Sunday, and one of the questions I ask him was “Is the Bible infallible in your church?”. Obviously he said No. But he also said the west has become overly scholastic in their way of interpreting scripture, relying on their own understanding rather than...

No one was ever convinced of Roman Catholicism from reading the bible.
I would encourage anyone tempted or seduced by this error to take a break from social media, youtube, blogs, etc, and especially the writings of Roman Catholic apologists, and pick up their bible, and read it with prayer, diligence, and careful meditation.

Amen to this. Bailey, if you're still reading, this would be good advice for you.
