Well that's the rub, isn't it? We all read the Bible differently, and who is to say that me reading, or my church's reading, is better than your reading? That's what starts wars. And it's why the bible says, to those who listen, that only God can ultimately judge men.

But that isn't the answer you were looking for, is it? You wanted to provoke ....

If you are considering about coming back to the Catholic faith read the Nicene Creed.

If you can 100% agree with it and believe it to be true - welcome back to the flock.

If you have questions about it (or the Catachism) set up an appt. with a priest - don't go asking DCUM as this is a dubious anonymous forum.

But which part of the Bible, which translation, which books? And what about all the other spiritual teachings out there from which much can be gained? Are those meaningless?

This is a great post. I'm unaware of a Christian religion that doesn't claim to "fit with God's thinking." So, which one? Catholic, Episcopal, Lutheran, Baptist, Methodist, Church of Christ... ?

Oh. But of course. Makes perfect sense. And which religion is that?

Sorry 14:39, I was obviously having the same thought but got a call and was delayed hitting submit -- so didn't see your post beforehand...
