I always check the title of your reflection, it tells me which road you’ve chosen to go down. And today you didn’t disappoint.
Do you research and ask questions about different faiths? Do you get the feeling that you are like a Sadducee when you ask questions, that you’ve been “greatly misled”?
There is a reason why there are so many other different faiths. I could be wrong, but I think it stems from the simple question Pilate asked Jesus, “What is truth?”. Maybe Jesus doesn’t answer Pilate because He wants us to find out on our own what truth is.
Until then, keep asking questions, keep wondering, keep searching, keep defending.

And of course, keep up the good work.

Mark

I will have to adopt your tactic of asking, ‘why do you ask?’ when someone is questioning my faith. It can be daunting but the Lord gives the Truth to those who will listen to Him.

May the Lord God help our unbelief and continue to forgive us even when He finds us complaining of the various discouragements that we are going through instead of praying Him
God bless you for enlightening us.

Good insight considering some of my friends (also Christians, different sect) question my being a Roman Catholic.
