Would the Pope deny being a Christian? He may not fit a Protestant's definition, but he certainly considers himself a follower of Christ.
So who really has the truth? Please show me.

By your own words Steve you use to be a believer and now your aren't ...
You say you were wrong to believe and now you say you are right.
This doesn't mean the believers you left behind should follow your example ... we just simply continue to believe and add to our faith.
Truth is a spirit, truth is one of the seven spirits of God that stand before His throne both day and night: Revelations 4:5
Quote:
And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

and don't forget Jesus also has the truth: Revelations 5:6
Quote:
|
The Lamb looked as if he had been killed. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God that were sent into all the world.

and of course the promise Jesus gives believers: St John 14:16-17
Quote:
I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper to be with you forever— the Spirit of truth.
The world cannot accept him, because it does not see him or know him. But you know him, because he lives with you and he will be in you.

I love you Steve I wish there was something I could say or do to return you to faith in the saving grace of Jesus Christ,
but that is the work of the Holy Spirit.
If you do still pray ... pray for the Lord to show you the way. He never refuses a small sincere prayer of faith.
back on topic, yes ... What that poor woman must be going through ... only God can give her the strength she needs to overcome her adversary.
