I just covered this in my Substack blog, which is written for the person who may have been put off by "Christianity" as he or she (mis-)understands it, or for the new believer who is trying to figure out how to get around the Bible, and what's so special about that Jesus guy. I have worked through many of the style and voice issues of how to write it, but probably need to rename it or something.
This is, again, a simple discussion of the truth contained in the verses referenced. God's words are powerful; we must send this message out with a prayer asking the Holy Spirit to convict people's hearts.
UA…with my perception and understanding which is what your interpretation is, it’s been very difficult to have any kind of discussion with my devout catholic friends(golfing buddies).I recently attended two funerals in the Catholic Church setting and was totally lost in their rituals and sacraments making me feel inadequate in a odd way. Thank you again for pointing out verses in the Bible for fodder (truth) in our conversations. It’s always a struggle with me.
Thanks for the comment, Rob. It was attending a funeral in a catholic church that got me started on the series to try to reach out to them. The simplicity of the gospel - saved by grace through faith - gets lost in their very complicated system.
