The Choice is Ours

Reflection: Roman Catholicism

         As the church progressed, many wrong teachings also surfaced. I just know that there were so

many heresies during those times of our history even until today. But knowing how small the

resources they had were, how else did the church survive had it not been for God's help? Once

again, God's mighty hands could clearly be seen in the history of the church.

        I also learned that because of prideful attitudes, selfish desires and forged documents, the

Roman Catholicism had experienced tremendous growth. I was shocked to realize this but the result

of it is not shocking anymore.

       As I think about this, I am reminded that God really gave us freedom. He gave us the truth but

it is up to us whether we respond to that truth or not. As for myself, I learned that I should always

follow what God wants me to do and the truth that He offers. I must be careful with the things that

are false and is not from God or even against God.

      To do these, first of course I will ask God's help, because I know that without God, I will be a

failure. Next, I will always evaluate my decisions using His Words, the Bible. Then I will not just

follow God's truth but also teach them to others so that they won't be blinded by the heresies

nowadays or the teachings that came from selfish desires.
