Carlita,
In a way you are both correct. The Church was founded by Jesus Christ and he built it on the works of Peter and the Apostles (who became the first Bishops of the Church).
The heart and soul of Catholicism is the Mass, which is a Eucharistic celebration. Without the real presence of...
Would like your opinions and thoughts on literal translation of the events in scripture. To be fair I will disclose mine:
It is my understanding (if I am incorrect absolutely no offense was intended) that the use of parable type stories were very common in Judaism in order to teach morale...
Shadow Wolf,
You are picking and choosing your arguments against Christianity and lumping and unlumping the different demnominations of Christians at your whim.
There are huge differences between Bible literalist and say the Catholic Church. In fact it was a Catholic scientist priest Georges...
1. The assertion that the Catholic Church didn't exist until the 4th century is ludicrous and a completely false statement. I have already addressed that nonsense on another thread that you are posting on as well.
2. I'll address PJ how I want and he is free to do the same and neither of us...
I'm not sure how these comments came up about my post but I will respond anyway.
First Mistake - Lumping all Christians into one group for this particular comment doesn't really work. For example Bible literalist and Catholics are very different in their beliefs regarding science.
Second...
I grew up Baptist and was one for 25 years. Things I love:
Believers Baptism - being able to remember my baptism and the incredible feeling is an awesome grace.
Bible Study - no one does it better and I can bible drill with the best of them because of it.
Things I don't like:
Judgmental...
Indulgences are over blown and people need to think of them more as a star on your chart for good behavior then a get out of jail free card.
The Rosary can bring special blessings but it isn't a magic lamp with a genie.
I love Holy Days and the opportunity to do something special for God on a...
Oh looky I've ticked you off and now you're following me. Very original
Ok lets be honest here someone or multiple people messed you up and feed you a lot of BS. No doubt this has caused a resentment against everything those people believe in. However casting wide shotgun blast at all...
If you don't believe in the real presence then there is little point in being Catholic. Since you did grow up in the faith I would like to "plant the seed" should you find time and can find a Chapel of Adoration that praying on the issue in front of the blessed sacrament couldn't be a bad thing.
Let's see 2,000 of history verses 146 years.
99.99999% of other Christian denominations agree with me and would not recognize JWs as Christians.
Get the wad out of your panties and man up to the truth. You're acting like an atheist with daddy issues.
Oh cut the crap you almost were baptised JW and you are overly sensitive about the subject because it's personal. If people were jumping on Mormons you would be leading the pack so don't get all self righteous. It isn't a good look for you.
You're just interpreting scriptures to suit your fancy. All of Christendom believed in the trinity then in 1870 some dude drops some acid and everyone else is wrong.
You have to be a real moron to believe that 1800 years after the death of Christ everyone else had it wrong and the truth was...
