Please do not post this nonsense any more. Even as a non-practicing Catholic I find offense in this. BTW, what religion are you that allows you to be a true "christian?"
This is just to reply to slow, I hope you get the spirit thing taking care of bro. I got one out of my house by anointing it. That was a fight.... ever been chocked by something not there?
Not Catholics themselves. I posted true history you will learn in college. The whole breaking apart from the corrupt catholic church.....humanities at college man. The Catholic church was more corrupt than the U.S. gov. In order to make it to heaven you had to pay them certain amount for your sins to be forgiven. That and in the 1500's they
ADDED 7 more books to the bible. Which in the back of the bible in revelations it says anyone who adds or takes away from the scripture is in trouble to say the least.
The name part I will remove because after reading it that was kinda harsh, but i should use "melting pot" It absorbes other religions and incorporates some of its practices. It does what it has to for it to spread. I do apologize for the wording, I was ticked at my ex last night..... I am talking to a catholic girl that I like myself man. And hope it goes somewhere.
I believe Catholics are the same as Christians. But Catholics have a darker past, and present(such as with all the priests an lil boys).Your normal catholic person is the same as a christian, but the upper levels....are different. Where as Christians everything is open to everyone, Catholics are secretive sometimes. Which is also spoken against in the bible.
I meant no offense!
A "True Christian" is someone who walks after Christ, and strives for perfection, though we will always fall short. Someone who is not caught up in money, the world, secular ways(pre maritial sex, drinking, taking in the dirt of the world[bad tv/music/reading/porn/etc]) Someone who serves sacrificially always thinking of others.
they are not limited to a single denomination or branch of Christianity of Catholicism.
Pretty much the reason I have against Catholic beliefs, but not the people who so in worship in that style. They are making mother mary "co-redemptionist" which is blasphemous because it lowers Christ to the same level as a normal human. They have the 7 extra added books in the bible, one of which describes Jesus being something like 20 feet tall when he walks out of the tomb :think: They have all kinds of saints they pray to. But I believe they are saved if they live the righteous life just like a christian.
I mean even Christianity has Methodist, Pentecostal, baptist, and so on for a good bit.
I meant no offense. But here are the reasoning behind then. I mean college classes do teach the Catholic church was corrupt and power hungry beyond belief before piousness lost its place in power.
Christians and Catholics are essentially the same. But with some differences that each person finds benefits them better.
My sis is catholic, and the presence of God came on her when she was praying for my grandma. God works there, the same as in Christians. Just not as often as I like myself.
I am open to corrections if you have any.
I really don't have an issue with anyone who is catholic, but knowing my history Christians were murdered, beaten, imprisoned for worshiping God themselves by the Catholic Church. Public college BTW, bot a christian one in case your wondering.
I would worship alongside anyone be them Christian or Catholic, though my style will differ greatly from Catholicism.
