Zule, it may sound like I’m picking on you, but from what you wrote in another post I believe you are a real Christian. It’s not you personally I have a problem with, it’s the RCC. I really don’t have anything against you, but I hope you’ve gone to that “Just for Catholics” site. End of quote
Ready , thanks very much. I appreciate your respect and courtesy.
You have no idea of how much that respect cond courtesy means to me.
I will check the website you have given to me. I need more time.
I just would like to say that by no means I am defending the RCC.
What I am trying to say is that there are milllions of people needing JESUS, the real and true Gospel.
I just hope people can understand this and the fact that to be able to give the Gospel to those who need it we need to have love in our hearts.
I have have my eyes full of tears driving in the streets of Caracas, seeing little boys and girls, asking for money, sleeping in the streets, using cheap dangerous drugs to fight hunger. They are also abused for drug dealers, politicians, criminals. There are also dieases, hunger, poverty among most of the population.
Where do you think people go seeking for God?
To the Catholic Churh. Why? because that is what is available.
If they think thay can find GOd there and hope and love, they go there.
Ther are not options.......2% of hte population in VEnezuela are protestant. WHat are they suppose to do?
Maybe I am too sensitive. But I cannot be happy thinking I can solve my own personal problems if I am saved, when my parents, brothers and sisters, friends, my students, my coworkers, the people I love are needing Jesus and do not know how to find him.
That is why I want to learn. But I am also aware that if I do not go to talk to them with the right attitud, I am going to scare them away.
What is the information available for them?
I am temporally in this country. I will be back to my country soon . I do not want to go back as a complete stranger telling them what they have to do in a arrogant way.
I hope this explains a little about my background. I am not defeinding anything else that the people I have seen suffering needing love and salvation, regarding labels. I am not defending any power structure, corrupted by Satan.
The think I critize the most about the RCC is the very confusing message of salvation they teach. That is something I want to really address, but I am learning right now.
I appreciate you patience teaching me and your kindness.
Thanks and blessigns.
Zule
