Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here?

My apologies!

I don't meant to offend anyone. My Dad was raised a Catholic and most of his family are Catholic to this day. Worship was too strong a word to use. I am sorry.
 
Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here?

Ok, thanks Kes :) It wasn't you particularly that I was replying to. When people say things about Catholicism that are simply not true and aren't what I do I just have to say my piece.

This thread is where I and other Catholics felt part of the Christian community..as oppose to the things being said on the athiest thread. So its not very nice to come here and see untruths and comments that are a bit insulting.

We are all together in here and so we should keep it respectful towards each other. I'm not someone who says 'my way is the right way'... so I don't expect others to think that either and come at me. I find other religions and beliefs extremely interesting, I love to learn about them all.

Lets keep it positive and respectful... no bashing of anyone.

I just have a problem with the aithests coming in here and saying things, when they have their own thread to post their non beliefs.

All I ask for is a little respect for a thread that I started for other Christians and myself. I have put some on ignore, as their words are not important to me, as they will never make me change my beliefs, nor I can I change their minds.

I am not seeking a debate between the believers and the non belivers that's why I stay in the Jesus thread.

I respect my fellow believers.

Am I right in thinking you feel that I was being insulting?

I apologise if I have offended you, but my intention was not to insult. I have my opinion based on personal experience and knowledge built up over 29 years as a born again Christian.

As I said, I am not willing to get into an argument over my feelings on the Catholic church but I am entitled to my opinion.

I am not bashing you or any Catholic personally.
 
Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here?

Red, you are a cool person, and for the record, Red is a nice person, and she does not bash anyone.

We all need to remember it is hard to take a tone to ones posts, as we can't tell if their is anger or not in the post. That's why I hate email, as one can never know a persons tone or mood at the time of posting or emailing.

Red, you are cool!!

For me there is only one Bible and that is the Only Word of our Lord and Savior

i do not believe that it is ok to use other Bibles and still believe in Jesus if you do not believe the Bible is Gods Word how can you be a true believer and have contact with The one and only God

i am Pentecostal i used to be Catholic and i too have problems with praying to saints and the such,

what denomination are you?
Click to expand...

I am not part of any denomination. I became a Christian when I was 7 and started attending a Methodist church, over the years I have attended Baptist, Evangelical and Free Churches. All had good and bad things about them but I chose to leave the church community because I did not like being told what to do by leaders that I felt were being hypocritical. I answer to God only and that has served me just fine for many years! I know that I would gain certain things by being a member of a church, but I trust God that he will show me the right place to be if and when it is the right time for me to go.

Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here?

No

We believe in the Holy Trinity. The Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
 
Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here?

those 3 persons of God are the most important thing to believe in,,,,,God the Father God the Son who forgives our sins and Holy Spirit who gives us knowledgge, love and power to live in this world,,,
 
Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here?

Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here?

Our God is an Awesome God...He reigns from Heaven above with wisdom, power and might our God is an awesome God!


He is mighty to save! {2 of my favs praise and woship songs!}
 
Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here?

I believe that a person named Jesus existed at one time....spreading great joy and good messages through his teachings. It's just that to elevate him to the station of Lord is a bit much. As a Unitarian, I try to follow all of the great teachings of Jesus Christ. May we all learn valuable lessons on living from following The Word.
 
Re: Any Believers in Jesus Christ Here?

He is with me all the time, and I do not let anyone or anything interfere with that!

Yes indeed, not sure why you are telling me that, maybe you have misinterpreted my post?
My issue here is that people are saying it's ok to be a Jehovah's Witness or Mormon and use different bibles, as long as you believe in Jesus then we are all the same, which I very much disagree with.
I also have issue with the Catholic church and their worship of Mary/Saints and praying to statues, but that's a whole other argument that I'd rather not get into!

I am stepping in here. As a Catholic I need to defend the Church, and will not refrain from doing so. We do NOT worship Mary and the Saints. We do NOT pray to statues. Somewhat like pictures, statues respresent certain people. Example, have you ever looked at a picture of Michael and said something. Are you talking to the picture, no you're talking to Michael and wishing he could hear you(talking about when he was alive). Now he may very well can hear you. So you look at a picture of Michael now, and say something to him hoping he can hear you. You're talking to Michael, not the picture. Same with us Catholics. We are talking to the people the statues represent, not the statues. The Church is very careful of proclaiming someone a saint. There has to be scienitific proof that there was a miracle through their intercession, which always involves a doctor's report. We do NOT worship Mary. We honor her. She was the way Jesus chose to come to us, so we see her as helping us come closer to Christ. She was His mother, so we honor her, we ask her to help us be pleasing to her Son. Nothing wrong with that. We believe Christ crowned her as Queen of Heaven and earth. We believe because she bore Christ and was His mother, that she took part in our redemption. A mother hates to see her son or daughter(this case Son of course) suffer, and when they suffer, so does the mother in a way nobody else does. I don't speak from experience as I am unable to have children, but my stepmother and others have told me that when someone hurts a mother's child, they hurt the mother as well. That's why we see Mary as taking a special role in our redemption. We do NOT, NOT see her as our Savior. Only Christ is our Savior and we can be saved by no other . We Catholics believe that, and I am offended by that statement that we worship Mary, etc. that you have said.
We believe in the Bible as the inspired Word of God. JWs and Mormons don't, or else they would believe in Christ as our Lord and Savior.

Sorry Earthy, but I will not let my Faith be attacked. I had to defend what I and others do as Catholics.
