Dealings with the Roman Catholic Church

My childhood overall was okay. The worst thing I did was denounce God and the best thing I did was horseback riding camp which lasted a week. The denouncing God thing lasted about 20 something years while in the process of becoming an astrologist beginning at age 13. I suppose this is me being an idealist in thinking that the catholic (meaning "universal") church was there to help others and if the catholic church could not help directly then the church would find who could help or at least show a direction in which to take for help.

However, this was not the Roman Catholic Church in which my family at the time attended during my most formidable childhood years. My family went to the priests for help and stated that they could not help us and that was the end of discussion thus the end of my relationship with the Roman Catholic Church and God.

Understanding the Past

To understand who I am today, I need to understand my past. I have learned to rationalize many things about my past and yet, there are people in my past who have not taking responsibility for the things they have done. I have been able to forgive them and I continue to forgive because Satan has the habit of bringing this stuff up and gets me to think I have not forgiven these people who have hurt me. I believe the worst thing a church can do is misinterpret scripture and this is exactly what the Roman Catholic Church has done and in the process has done damage to my family including myself.

My story begins at the age of 12 when I disowned God stating that the Roman Catholic Church was not His church who stated they followed God when in fact they were not; therefore, God did not exist. Martin Luther had an understanding of how the Roman Catholic Church was to be which was the point of his 95-page thesis. I believe Martin Luther and I have many things in common and one of them is being an idealist. More on this at a later date because I have many things to say and I need to get other things done today other than writing.

Whole Point of Sanctification

I am an amateur blogger and a friend encouraged me to blog a few years back and now I am getting started. I have one blog started about organization so I am dedicating this blog to my experiences with God in my life. I have been a dedicated believer of recognizing Jesus as Lord for 12 years. I have known God existed since I was child in the Roman Catholic Church. Some people would consider me be a recovering Roman Catholic and others would view me as a redeemed sinner. I view myself as a sanctified child of God who is also in the process of being sanctified to be who God wants me to be in Him and this is the journey.
