This is why the gospel is preached to Muslims, many convert for the same reason. 5 times a day prayer, eat this, wear that, say this, don't do that, sit a certain way, greet a certain way, etc, etc.

One of my missions is to convert as many Catholics to Jesus as possible, so that they no longer worship the pope.

I question what you say here....you don’t convert anyone....what makes you think that you can convert?

We will convert the catholics via the sword, so that they no longer worship the paedophile monster that is the catholic 'church'.

That would depend on God......again I can do nothing in my own strength.....when God asks me to do something..I do it....because I do it in the Lords strength....when it’s done in his strength.....it most certainly gets done......no question about it.

Are you telling me that you're going to pray to the Lord to give you the strength to convert catholics by the sword?

Can you not imagine yourself at the altar of a catholic 'church', fighting off the paedophile pope with a sword, while simultaneously freeing his followers from his grasp?

It might be your calling...?

If it was ,then I would do as the Lord asks....so far he hasn’t called me to do anything like that.....but it wouldn’t be me doing it would it....?.........it would be God doing it through me.

I'm not attacking for perspective on the bible, I challenge and debate. That's what a discussion forum is for. Through debate and challenge I've substantially changed my understanding.

But the Calvinist's have never made a dent.

Kinda hard-headed then, eh? Just kidding - I couldn't resist!

Don't worry, I am not a Calvinist either by any means, though a lot of what Calvinists believe is half of the truth.
