Default Re: Poll Confirms Parents’ Influence on Teens’ Religious Activities

My father was raised Catholic. My mother's mother was too, but divorced her first husband and married a Baptist!
My cousin took me to a Jewish synagouge (I had no idea what was going on; everything was in Hebrew), then I visited a Mormon meeting. Mostly I attended a fire and brimstone church that still is in existance today.
My great aunt taught me all the Catholic prayers and I attended some Catholic school and some public.
But I had a good friend (a former Catholic)who told me a great truth. It is found in John 3:17. (not talking about 16, but 17).
Quote:
Jesus did not come into the world to condemn it but that through him it might be saved.
Also I like to read Greek phylosophy. And the Greeks proved through phylosophy many years ago that there was a creator. They also talked about there being a copy of every heavenly thing here on earth. And a "door" that was needed to bridge the earthly to the heavenly. After careful consideration, I believe Jesus Christ is that door.
I also believe as I was taught in catechism that a heathen is baptised in his own blood if he has never heard the word of God.
I have read a lot about the Egyptians and Witch craft, etc., but I think Christianity is the correct form of religion.
To each his own and bless you!
