Ask about Catholicism/Christianity

[sambos671]

I think Reformed confuses how a catholic views Justification and Salvation. For a Catholic Justification is just one aspect of Salvation not Salvation itself. Salvation includes everything from God’s redemptive act to the Drawing of the Saints the the Maintenance of the Saints to the gaining of Glory. First understand what it is you’re talking about and that you have the same definitions of words you are using.

you explained it very well! but i wouldnt expect a response anytime soon. as you probably saw above, he sort of got cold feet. even if he does come back, i think i know what he will say. and i have a plan, the ends of which would destroy SS.

He is on a couple other threads trying to use “bible study” as a method to convert Catholics into Reformed theology practitioners.

Are we having fun playing the sola scriptura game?

You will have to tell us, since I think you are the only one on the thread playing it.

Catholics adhere to the Apostolic Teaching, and we are commanded to reject such “different gospels” that are not consistent with what was handed down to us.

Here is a challenge for you brother. If Catholics adhere to the Apostolic Teaching, how come on the Sacred Traditon thread that there is a debate between Catholic theologians on what actually consists of the deposit of faith of Sacred Tradition. We first must identify what actually consists of divine revelation before we can adhere to it.

what’s the minimum age of marriage for Christian men & women regarding bible ?

Also , do u agree with this comment ? A Catholic wrote in other thread that : it is demonstrable from Catholic teaching that there will be those in paradise who identified themselves as Catholic/Protestant/Muslim/Hindu etc

thats fine. i never said you were going to hell. but did jesus have a child bride? no. he is what we are based on. did your prophet? yes, and he is what you are based on. he was just a man. i man that killed people, and married children. how can you possibly defend that?

well, revelations is widely just figurative. many christians believe there will be a battle between god and satan. and as far as heaven or hell, its up to god. we live the way jesus would want, but condemn no one to hell, even judas. you get it?

they can argue about it if they like. they can think there right about something, no bigge. what matters is what the church teaches. what it has taught for a very, very, long time.

did jesus have a child bride? no.

Christians believe he was not married at all . So, marriage is a sin in your religion ?

man that killed people,

Jesus (p) ordered Moses (p) to kill all except young virgins . Do u think Jesus (p) gave the right order or Moses (p) will be in hell for obeying Jesus (p) ?

and married children. how can you possibly defend that?

those who hate a legal marriage will have to justify their hatred based on holy books. So , if your Bible tells u that it’s a sin to have a young wife , then it’s ok for u to hate such marriage.

I’ve been wondering where muslim woman is and here she is in this forum but I doubt she understood all the explanations. Her personality is easy to read because the question she posted are evidence of her deep belief in islam. If she needs to understand what Christianity is, she must first of all accept what muhammed say regarding the Book, as guidance and truth. If she do not agree with this then she would have a problem understanding Christian stories in the Bible because quran spins its own teachings deceiving readers which statements are true. I strongly believe why muslims would have a hard time understanding Christian faith is because of the conflicting stories between muhammed and the Book. First, there was Ishmael and Isaac which muhammed contradicted the original story of who was about to be sacrificed and did not believe that Isaac is the favored one. This conflict has logical reason for muhammed’s scribblers to favor Ishmael just because ishmael is the father of all arabs and muhammed hails from arabia. They should ask themselves why ishmael became the father of the arabs. Simply because ishmael was casts to the wilderness with his mother hagar until he wandered around far away in the arabian desert. The notion that ishmael was the favored one could not be true because if he was the favored one, obviously Abraham will not let him go with Hagar. Then muhammed failed to understand the story of Moses and the prophets after him because of the reason that muhammed is an illiterate that could not read the Book. This could result in a variety of errors and misunderstandings thereby muhammed’s alleged revelation came up short or erred. If only muslim woman respects the Book (Holy Bible), she should read it accordingly. Even with her doubts, she should try to connect the dots from beginning to end. The Bible is not easy to read and understand of course but thats where the beauty is. The strength of its truthfulness and completeness came from the diversity of different writers and period of time and considering these factors the Bible as a whole provides a story that is cohesive with facts that represent a believable story connected from one to another until the end.

I have my Bible and my Catechism right here. I will answer any question you ask, so fire away.

What is it really like belonging to a Catholic Church? Are the people friendly? Is it really like a family?

What is it really like belonging to a Catholic Church? Are the people friendly? Is it really like a family?

Belonging to a Catholic Church is as significant as being saved by way of Jesus’ command. Nothing else should make it better or worse. Anything you need to do to feel having a family is according to Parish’ way of conducting its own activities such as community service oriented or something that is the will of the Parish’ leadership and its members. The Church could also be a boring place if it serve only for worship and celebrating mass, so which Parish do you think serves well? The answer is neither because what is important is for the Church to institute the Holy Eucharist that those who want to partake the body and blood of Jesus Christ can do so. We do not need to impose our own agenda in order to choose the right Church. What is important is we are following the will of God not the other way around.
