If you believe true Christianity 'evolved' to fit in with 'society' then you, 1) fail to believe in Christ's promise regarding the Church, and 2) fail to see that true Christian is a folly for those who views, values and beliefs are of this world. Even when they appear to coincide there is a tension between the two. It matters not whether we are discussing this age, previous ages or the age to come.

I do feel confused, James, one minute you appear to uphold Traditional views and the next come from a very different viewpoint?

We need to pray for James, other teens, and young adults who are struggling to find the true Faith. May Christ be their strength, their light, and their life.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.
