My goodness It read that Pentacostals rejected the belief of many fundamentalist that God has ceased to communicate. WE REJECTED THE BELIEFS OF SOME FUNDAMENTALISTS…man now I know why I left the church…you not only dojn’t understand, you don’t bother to read what is said correctly…

Leslie: Actually, in post#423, I believe that is javl slamming Drawmack for not knowing anything about catholicism! And his sarcasm and condescension are not only very evident, but disingenuous!

Someone mentioned “fallible men” telling people what they think is the Truth! Aren’t all men(and women) fallible, regardless of religion or denomination?

Persecution is a sure sign that you’re on the right track
This should be the key to knowing that it is the Church that Jesus Christ founded. Jesus Himself said in John 15:20 “Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you”, and Mat 5:11 “Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven”
Of all of the Christian churches, Only the Catholic Church is so reviled and lied about, this is proof that we have found the Church of Jesus Christ; so be of good cheer, you’re in the right place.
Yours in Christ.

You missed the most important part,
Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
And to get the thread back on subject:

I’m not sure this is completely true
ALL Christians are persecuted, to one degree or another; and for any church to claim that they are persecuted more, is pure speculation
However, there are some good verses to remember when you are feeling sorry for yourself, because some bully said something unkind: 1Peter 4:16, 18-19, Acts 5:41, or how about Psalms 46:10:thumbsup:

It is not by works that we are saved; and I believe verse 10 says the good works that GOD has prepared for US! So we must constantly seek Him, and endeavor to find out what theses good works are. He will, through the Holy Spirit, reveal them to you; not man!

Could you please cite the source of the document which accounts for the leader of each of those denominations being interviewed on their theological beliefs so that we can know for certain there are this many denominations? The problem I am having is that to the best of my knowledge there are only two sources for this number. One of them is the U.S. census which rates every Christian entity that registers for a tax ID as a denomination, if we use their number then we must also use their number for what they call Catholic denominations which is quite a large figure – this number has nothing to do with theological differences. The other source is a Protestant encyclopedia which also uses locality as a means of defining denominations and therefore lists something like 250 Catholic denominations. So, you can throw that number at me all you want and it means nothing because it has nothing to do with the theology taught by those denominations.And I totaly agree. Prime examples are the 30,000 or so worldwide churches, each of
which say they use the Bible as their guide. Yet there are 30,000 different messages,
each disagreeing with the other. “Sola Scriptura”, the cause of the splintering of Christendom.

You’re swimming the Tiber, 1beleevr! Awesome. Your statement here is 100% Catholic.It is not by works that we are saved; and I believe verse 10 says the good works that GOD has prepared for US!

Thanks for the kind words, Steve; but surprisingly, there are many non-catholics that I know who believe the same way! Oh, and don’t bother saving me a seat at mass

**MARY can not be a mediator? 1 Timothy 2:5 **
The MASS is not scripitual ! Hebrews 10:10-18
Why was the First Pope married? MARK 1:29:shrug: Just a thought
Does the bible override tradition?

I know, and if they’d stop and listen to us, they’d realize we hold to atleast the same belief you just stated up there. Perhaps many of your buds are more Catholic than you realize? Hey, we can pray for that.

I agree with you about Mary; not sure about mass, and don’t know if the first pope was married or not
(unless of course you mean Peter)

I said nothing about denominations. I said different Churches, And there are theological
differences among them. If there weren’t, they would all be one, such as the Catholic Church. As for the Catholic Church, there are no denominations within it. There are different rites which means a different liturgy which may be cultural in origin. Regardless of the rites, they all teach the exact same truths. And believe it or not, we do use and teach from the Bible.
Also, do you know that the Baptists have split into so many countless Churches that
each claims to be a Baptist denomination and not in communion with or associated
with any other Baptist? My sister-in-law is a Baptist and this information comes from
her.
