Ya'll can laugh me off the forum if you want to, but I'm going to share this thought with you.

Remember God removed the Israeli's to graft us on. What if we are now being removed so He can graft others on. We drove past a Methodist church the other day and it struck me how these people love Jesus but reject His church. Mind boggling. Still and all I know some lovely protestants who I surely wouldn't want to see in hell. Perhaps God is of a like mind.

If this is the case, we should be glad for what is going on. And it's not as if the Israelis couldn't have gotten right back on board. All they had to do was give up their erroneous belief that they were going to have their paradise on earth. It's not as if they got it.

Are we holding out for something? Can we get back on board? What is fundamental here?

One point: The OT was superseded by the NT. There is no such transition that will take place at this time. The NT dispensation is it -- until the breaking of the world.

Yes, we have already seen that the bulk of the formerly-Christian West has become an abomination in God's sight. It will be thoroughly cleansed, and other groups, historically outside the fold, will be brought into the fold.

Ok....but I don't think God can fault the protestants for not finding the Catholic Church these days.

Ok....but I don't think God can fault the protestants for not finding the Catholic Church these days.

To a certain extenet, but if most Catholics do not aknow a fig about the faith, why then do we think prots would see teh truth the the Faith?? Homo priests, pedophiles,scandal, coldness-esp in some trad cirlces,poor theology that scandalizes many moderatea nd conservative Prots.....

think about it, most Catholics do not know much and worse, do not care.....most are falling away in droves.....and you wantto blame the Prot that sees this all going on and sees no difference in that and the 1000's of sects on his side of the aisle?

Most are converted by example, not fancy words and such, so where is there example? the silliness of the NO? or the cold, angry in trad circles. all too often.

how can we then blame a prot, when our own house is teetering and in shambles?

I blame Prots a lot less these days and yearn more for a Catholic cινιℓ ωαr to get things out in the open, fight the battles and stop this pretending......that is one thing that has happened, more is out in open then in the mileu of the 70's.

we should be cleaning our own house out, so that it is pure,clean and attracts others from without.....to do that, we need to fight it out and have an internal war, not play lets blame the Prot.....again, people will come in because of example and sings of unity, right now to an outsider, there is none and it is a miracle we get any converts, though must say, most are of poor quality, but again, owing to the poor quality and cathecism of our present debacle.......nothing is taught to them nor expected of them....the Prots are often better at welcoming and working the neewbie into their world...

I was thinking more along the line of how small the Catholic Church has become and then we obscure it with our quibbling. These are extraordinary times calling for extraordinary measures.
