I have two testimonies for the question asked about where the traditions of man may have played a role in my life rather than the clear teachings of the Bible. My first one is my daughter Isabell. When she was in her mid-teens, she went through the Catholic baptismal classes. When the time came for her to get baptized she changed her mind at the last minute. She felt it wasn’t the right time. I felt let down but supported her decision. And looking back from what I know now, I felt relieved she didn’t get baptized. But me on the other hand, I was baptized as a Catholic. So for 52 years of my I was a catholic but didn’t practice Catholicism until I was 15 when I was confirmed in the faith. I was dutiful and listen to my mom because she was my mom and I loved her. I always felt going to church felt so routine. It was like being a programmed robot, we get up, go to church, listen to priest, and leave. The Priest would open up the Bible, we listened, we didn’t have a Bible to open, so we sat there and listened. I really didn’t learn how to read the Bible, but was always intrigued with the Book of Revelation, because I knew there was information in that book that prophesied about the end. The Catholic Church didn’t teach me how to go about understanding Revelation. But deep down I wanted to know, until one day, I received a pamphlet in the mail for a prophecy seminar, I thought it be interesting to go. So, I went and invited my daughter Isabell. We found ourselves going to the seminar every day. That’s when she and I decided to get baptized. When I went to the seminar, it seemed like I found the missing piece. I didn’t know the truth, but felt like I already knew the truth, if that makes any sense. I just needed someone to explain it to me, and it was like God was trying to get my attention. I’m glad I listened to that little voice in my head, known as God talking to me.
