Give me your best argument AGAINST becoming Catholic.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Maybe that’s coz non Catholics wear too much makeupCatholics do not look like happy people,
Which, when honest-ised, becomes “They are against the culture of death.”and they’re always yelling.
Because they prefer the bread that gives eternal life to the bread that perishes.Why would anyone want to do that to themselves?
No, its not. I tell you the truth. I have practiced the faith for 14 years and never once did I feel that it was hard.It’s too hard.
Or in short, if you are unscriptural.If you don’t believe you have to confess to a priest
If you don’t believe Jesus is present in the Eucharist
If you don’t think birth control is a sin
If you don’t believe the Pope is Christ’s representative on earth
If you don’t think divorce is wrong
If you don’t think homosexuality is a sin
Dont judge a religion by a few of its members. And dont judge a book by its cover.People look bored at mass.
long story, better suited for another thread.If Catholics do it best then why do other churches seem to light a fire in people more effectively?
An aside:Maybe that’s coz non Catholics wear too much makeup
Seriously, brother, dont go by looks.
If my memory is correct, them’s Episcopalians.An aside:

That is all. Continue!
Ouch. Brother you are one BAD apologist for Anglicanism!If my memory is correct, them’s Episcopalians.

Now, now. You think I countenance such shenanigans?Ouch. Brother you are one BAD apologist for Anglicanism!
All in fun, of course. Everybody loves a guy who plays with cards face up.
Really? lolGive me your best argument AGAINST becoming Catholic.
Why would I do that? If you want to be Catholic, be a Catholic. If you don’t want to be Catholic, then don’t join.Give me your best argument AGAINST becoming Catholic.
Thanks.
I agree. Why are Catholics jumping in and speaking for the person who doesn’t want to be Catholic.A lot of Catholics here giving their reasons that they wouldn’t become Catholic. :s
Choosing to enter the Church should not be based on what we think (only) but accepting the faith which compelled us to Love Jesus and repent to Him. So our thought shouldn’t be opposed to faith but formed through faith.Also, it doesn’t have to be an argument; other Christian groups think differently than Catholics.
Some definitely have this mentality. But this is not exclusive to Cats. It should rather be, “join us because we are sinners recieving the Grace of Jesus.”To Catholics it’s “I’m right, your wrong; join us because we’re the most Christian Christianity.” Whereas most ‘Protestant’ groups believe that other groups (including the Catholics) are quite alright.
The Catholic Church is not a denomination. There is one Universal Church. Acts 9:31 uses the Greek term “Kath olos” to describe the whole Church, then describes Peter as going here and there among them all.The Trinity, faith by grace, Jesus died/rose, etc. We accept Him and He’ll save us. Jesus didn’t call His Disciples by any one denomination, and the Apostles never considered themselves labeled as ‘Catholic’.
I don’t know if this was Randy’s intentions, but if that was, then I agree its not the most charitable approach. However, after participating in alot of Randy’s threads, I believe him to be more zealous for the faith than disingenuous.So it matters more to Catholics, this idea of “Give me your best shot so we can fight about it.” But it means nothing to me.
Very understandable.However, I did like the thread “What is the reason you’re not Catholic.” Because it was less in your face, and allowed people to give their perspective.
Because God lets us be hurt unjustly, far worse than the penalty due us by our own sins, and therefore doesn’t protect us from pain and therefore doesn’t care about us.Give me your best argument AGAINST becoming Catholic.
Thanks.
