:I began where you are when I was sixteen. I am now seventy. The discoveries I made for myself out of my zeal for the Lord often overturned what I thought was the truth ("''Wow! I didn't know that!''"). In fact, this goes back to when I first went forward at the age of twelve to accept Jesus Christ as my personal Savior. I silently prayed, as I walked forward, "Lord, if you show me truth, which totally overturns what I think is the truth, then help me to drop that, and cling to what You give me. Amen." I simply wanted to be "honest to God". Always remember [http://www.biblehub.com/multi/matthew/7-8.htm Matthew 7:8].

== Minor revision of lead paragraph ==

I decided to add some modifying phrases inserted into the intro lede which cast the essay in a more neutral tone as accurately representing the teaching of traditional conservative and fundamentalist Christian believers regarding the Catholic Church as being non-biblical. In no way does this revision change the meaning of the essay. It is an assertion of what is believed, not an assertion of these beliefs as indisputable, undistorted facts which cannot be refuted (Catholic apologists do refute them).

However, if this modification is in fact a serious distortion of the intent of the author/contributor, then my profoundest apology and regret is due to Ambassador. Be assured of my sincerest good will and best wishes. --[[User:Dataclarifier|Dataclarifier]] ([[User talk:Dataclarifier|talk]]) 18:53, 28 February 2017 (EST)
