We had to go to town to do some business and we ran into a man we proclaimed the gospel to.
He began to tell me he is a roman catholic and we quickly learned he believes that man made religion wastes a lot of money on buildings and we would agree on that.
He went on to tell us the following:
*The gospel he believes is just believe in Jesus death on the cross
*The bible is full of stories not all truth
*You do not have to worship God His way as long as you help others
*Men wrote the bible so it can't be trusted
*He believes in evolution not God's Genesis creation account
* And many other unbiblical false ways
He said an interesting and unbiblical thing we hear a lot in ministry to others in America:
IN MY MIND....I THINK... I FEEL ... I BELIEVE
Often people say this and it means they are relying on their own logic and reason vs God's Word for truth. It is a great danger sign. Jesus said we live by God's Word / Matthew 4:4
We lovingly told him that he cannot find eternal life 'In his mind". He must humble himself and seek God's truth found in the Holy scriptures...repent and be made new in Christ.
I used God's Word to prove his theology wrong at every turn in a loving but direct way. One example was he said he does not believe in Adam and Eve, Jonah or a global flood / Noah.
I told him in that case he is calling Jesus Christ a liar !
He said how is that?
I told him that Jesus spoke of and told us all those people were real and existed.
(He claimed Jesus told them as stories but that is not the case.)
Toward the end of the conversation he turned to my wife (who was quietly listening) and asked her 'do you give him birthday presents?' My wife (who is obedient to scripture and remains silent when men are discussing the word) turned to me and I told him that my wife does not teach men. I explained that birthday celebrations are pagan and we do not celebrate them. We include this part in our witnessing so godly women are encouraged:
A biblically dressed, headcovered and quiet godly woman is a great witness to men as they are so used to women stepping in and taking over.
This educated man believes you think, form ideas of your own and you can read scripture and make it fit whatever your bent or belief is. He believes that man is smart enough to bring MORE truth to God's Word then even the bible brings us. That is crazy!
This is called liberal theology folks.
Man has found a way to try and rethink and over think God's truth to the point he has NO real truth left. Roman catholism is flush with this cancer so beware!
This man wants to have eternal life but he does not want to OBEY God's Word and as a result he will perish unless he repents.

We told him we love him and that we pray he repents. We gave him all he needs to find the truth, be born again and then contact us to help him if he ever desires that.
Jesus said FEW will find eternal life and he warned MANY religious people will be turned away by Him as they are sinful/law breakers going against His ways to do their own false ways.
See Matthew 7
We pray you are not deceived today so we GO to proclaim truth for God's glory and your eternal soul!
