Please help convince me to not convert to Catholicism...
Hi, my name is James. I hope this is an appropriate use of the forum and not in violation of any etiquette or rules. If not, I apologize. I'm posting to a few different forums in the hope/prayer that people will share with others and help me in my journey as I navigate some questions I have about Protestantism v. Catholicism. I'm hoping to pursue that journey here: https://inlimbosite.wordpress.com/ Grace and Peace, James
Proofs that sinning believers will not inherit or enter heaven
The Kingdom of heaven is headed by Jesus Christ for the purpose of re-establishing the Kingdom of God over this rebellious part of God’s realm.

When the church went astray
When, according to most Protestants, did the church go off the rails? presumably they think that it was on the right track through the time of Paul and the apostles. Do they accept the first 7 church councils as being authoritative? obviously they don’t accept Trent. did the church go astray when the bishop of Rome was accepted as the boss of the others -- and when was that?
The sin of Saul or the sin of Jonathan (1 Samuel 14)?
Did Saul sin in making an unnecessary oath (1 Samuel 14:24), or did Jonathan sin in defying it and publicly challenging his father's command (1 Samuel 14:29)?
