Your point is well taken. But it still boils down to how Calvin and Scofield, or the local pastor understand the text. And if someone doesn’t like it, they can rent the hall down the street and open their own “bible church”.
You are not the only one brother.
We all do need to learn to give a response gently and accurately. However, the fact that this upsets you is a good thing. It is a healthy reaction to bigotry.
I understand what you are saying and it is true. Telling them truth is the most important factor they need to know. What I meant is that I do not fabricate things up against them and try to convey it as a fact,which is my point.
I totally know what you mean.“I do respect my Protestant brothers and sisters and wish them well on their spiritual journey.”
Exactly, you see when you take any denomination which divides and use it to divide, you are not following the universal law of God. Which is Love.
This is also why in Islamic countries today we have muslims who understood the Quran in a realm of Love and stand up for persecuted Christians and thus are murdered themselves. They simply understood the universal law. Those who react to the ignorance, violence and anything which divides understood something incorrectly and not of God. This is also true of any denomination of Christianity. When you view another Christian group, then judge them and not love them. You are on an incorrect path.
Peace

Jesus did not mince words with the Samaritan woman“I do respect my Protestant brothers and sisters and wish them well on their spiritual journey.”

The Church calls us to evangelize, how much better does it get in these situations…

Visiting the Assembly of God church, I have remained silent while the congregation prayed for the conversion of Catholics. Conversation after the service centered on the resurrection and the revelation that I am Catholic. What has the response been? “I didn’t know Catholics believed that.”
YES! I show 'em my Cross…tell 'em I worship the ONE Christ revealed “fully” in the Gospels! Really not sure what else they want!Isn’t anyone else annoyed by the question “Are you Catholic or Christian?”
I’ve been asked this several times by both Protestants and shockingly Catholics.It’s been especially annoying when I tell them “Catholic is Christian” and they say “No! Christians sing and have bands and pastors” :doh2:
:dts: Anyone else encountered this problem or was asked this question?

:clapping: :clapping: :clapping: lolWe all have different talents. I am not Karl Keating, nor am I Scott Hahn or any other accomplished apologist. There are those that pray, those that meditate and those that champion the Faith. What you do is right for you.
You may want to understand that I and probably every other Catholic was educated and catechized in our Faith. Catholic School, Catholic teaching, everything I learned was about MY Faith. I never learned anything else about how others were wrong.
With 4,000 posts under your belt, what is it you would want me/us to understand?Maybe Protestants can ask the same question of some of you? Not that there is any “Protestant bashing” on this board by Catholics…
Perhaps instead of “bashing” anyone…we should seek to understand one another.
I haven’t read the rest of this thread, but asking if someone’s Catholic or Christian is like asking “Are you a man or are you a human?”Isn’t anyone else annoyed by the question “Are you Catholic or Christian?”
