runbikeswim Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I went to work and when I came back, my thread had exploded and is now closed so I am updating here. I definately don't want to resurrect the old topic. I just wanted to say that between the links, references to scripture and everyone's opinions, I will be doing a lot of reading and praying over the next few days. Even the argumentative post really helped me out. I promise you, I never intended for things to get so heated. This is the only online MB I frequent and all of my "real" friends are very mild about religion. I don't want the fate of my soul to rest on what someone online told me but contrary to another poster's statement, I AM taking everyone's advice to heart. I would have never gotten the wealth of information from both sides in real life that I just received from everyone here. I will confess to being the most mild mannered person on earth in so many respects. I never thought (please, please don't respond to this statement) that there way one way to heaven, one way to God. I have never doubted the salvation of other Christian religions vs the salvation of being Catholic. The one idea that really resonated with me was the fact that "I" am not really important in the scheme of things. The "what can I do for God, not what God can do for me" idea. Also that feelings are just feelings, not the end all and be all. Thank you all. I don't know what is right for me yet, but you all have shown me how I can begin to find out.

MyThreeSons Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I'm glad you're taking this approach. There certainly is a wealth of information to be read. But, I must say, I have gone back and re-read the whole thing, and I really don't see "heated". Questions were asked, some were answered, some rabbit trails were followed.

speedmom4 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I'm glad you found the thread helpful. The fact that you are questioning things means you're taking your faith seriously. I spent the last year of my life doing just that and it has all been worth it. Good luck! Elise in NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
