Doctrinal we are different. I think Anglican are more Catholic than other Protestant denominations. I do disagree many of the issues like ordination of women, ordination of gay bishops, accepting the use of contraception.
well thats good, I did a addition to my post above, but we posted at the same time. Seriously is something getting you??
If you want to IM me about it send to either AIM, YIM, or MSN IM.well thats good, I did a addition to my post above, but we posted at the same time. Seriously is something getting you??
is it this lies you are speaking about, because ya know and IM not tit for tating but there has been some unacceptance of Protestants here too, to the point Im feeling actually annoyed too. so I guess we can have that in common, we both feel bad.
I seriously considered leaving here but I rather like it when we all talk, and there is alot to learn when were not feeling bad. I think about that and I know its wrong, we are not supposed to be. We all are supposed to be His children, its so frusterating that we (as a whole) cannot get along.
You know I am to consider leaving this forum. I’ve been here for over a year and the debates are nothing more but repetitious arguments…and many new members who aren’t Catholic make their case against the CC. It’s like going in circle again and its becoming very frustrating.well thats good, I did a addition to my post above, but we posted at the same time. Seriously is something getting you??

I hear ya Manny. I understand the frustration. But think about this for a second…
**As a cradel Catholic now a revert yep I got labeled but it helps people understand where I have been like a bag of luggagesigh thats what Im trying to explain,the reason I do not like “labels” they dont work. Thats why they are for soup cans
**
But labels are also for poison bottles or arsenic cans so sometimes labels are for good aand if the I saw one with that label would I take a chance even just inhaleing could killyou.**
When one sees the name Catholic, Protestant, Baptist, Lutheran, Charasmatic, Pentacostal, immediately the stereotypes flood in. No one takes time to see if its true. We love catagories too much.

Well we all, most don’t have our real name we made a imaginary name,ie label for ourselves , in order to hide or protect our identityor in my case to be cute dessert is suppose to be desert but that name is taken up so I added a r to it , got kidded alot
This is a quick addition
This is for BOTH sides, and ALL humans, we love these lousy labels.
been there done that, you could say labels are racist but it is just organization, now I don’t know if you are black, African A or chinese or what, just because you are in Canada doesn’t ay much these days but I am rather proud to be labeled a RC Just my IMHO Dessert " put a little whipping cream on that" **As you explain it, that makes labels intreging more like Titles and something is expected inside.**As a cradel **Catholic now a revert yep I got labeled but it helps people understand where I have been like a bag of luggage
If we did this more then it would be great. And you can be proud to be a AC, I dont have problems with that, Im just against judging by labels. the down side if you will. I like your side better, and perhaps with carrot cake AMEN Eric!!! AMEN!
Amen, Eric. Who needs the Catholic Church and all that. Let’s all just be Christians together on our own.
That’s not what he is saying… can we cut the sarcasm here???
Catholics should ALWAYS qualify their ecumenical dialogues and conversations with where the fullness of the Christian faith “resides”. Post Vatican II “ecumenical” dialogues and conversations (a very minor example of which is this thread) that didn’t have caused enough of a problem that the current and last Pope had to issue no less than 2 encyclicals restating where the fullness of the Faith resides. Then the backlash from the release of the encyclicals attempts to paint Rome as the villain in simply restating the Truth. Not true, of course.
Aye, I’m reminded of what Jesus said: “I am the truth.”
So, how exactly does Matthew 16 15:19 fit into your view of Jesus’ dictates? And most specifically verse 19 - what exactly is Jesus telling Peter and the Church He is founding upon him? Note Jesus doesn’t give Peter the Keys to the Kingdom and then just tell him to love his neighbor. He gives him SPECIFIC authority and responsibilities. Though loving your neighbor may be the second greatest commandment - it does not constitute the entire Gospel of Jesus Christ. There is much more to Jesus’ DIRECT commands than that. And the Catholic Church stands alone recognizing the completeness of the Gospel of Jesus - not just cherrypicking a handful of verses to justify anything and everything. That’s why it does matter what Church you attend.
You are wrong.
Martin Luther discarded those books because they are full of errors and they are NOT the inspired word of God. Sirach has tons of non-Biblical teachings. The book says to divorce your wife if she will not obey you. The Catholic church certainly does not condone that.
Martin Luther didn’t believe the books of james and revelations were inspired either, do you?
