I hate arguing about religion

[Augustine3]

There were divisions of faith even in St Paul’s time and as he predicted there still remains divisions. People from different faiths argue they’re right and others are wrong. Everyone thinks they’re right. It just drags on and the stubbornness can be so frustrating.

Makes me wonder what God is going to do to fix it…

When there is so much animosity against other faiths and religious Founders, arguments result.

All I see these days is a love for what “I say is true” and a hatred for what “They say is true”

I will not stop until I see people looking for the love in all things, rather than the hate

All these differences in the beliefs of the many faiths will be resolved when the Christ Returns and explains to all what the real truth is. Many believe this will happen quite soon and I agree (although there are disputes about that belief too)

What I recommend is being more involved in inter-faith activities and groups… that way more people can see common ground and begin working together.

What are we going to do about it is the question.

Unconditional Love of God with Service to the Love of all mankind seems to be the answer.

If we as individuals are not doing this all the moments of our lives, then the rest of the world can not be influenced to do so.

Sure. It’s called The Sacraments.

The sacraments have been around for 2000 years and there are still divisions

Yep I’ve heard that many times. We need to change. Well it looks like we won’t be changing anytime in the near future so what’s our merciful Heavenly Father going to do about it?

Won’t stop what?

And God is patient, and kind, slow to anger, full compassion, so the still gives man the chance to choose The Sacraments and follow them.

Not every man is arguing over religion but trying to live according to God’s wishes. One religion says the Son of God didn’t die. That’s not God’s doing if they can’t accept it.

Won’t stop what?

Won’t stop fighting (only with a kindly and loving tongue ) against acts that promote division, disintegration and hatred, to replace them with unity, integration and love

For God to change it, He would have to deprive us of the gift of free will.

He won’t do that.

He will never force unity. We have to chose it. Just like we have to chose Him. He never forces.

The sacraments are efficacious. We need to cooperate more with prayer to receive the fullness of them.
Much prayer is essential.

Well see here’s the thing Christianity is right and Catholicism is the fullest expression of it. Other religions may have truth in them but only where they agree with Christianity. Don’t argue about religion straight up tell someone that your religion is right I don’t understand why someone would claim to Profess a religion and not actually believe it. Of course I’m not saying you don’t actually believe your religion but you are called to give a defense for the hope that is in you this is what the Bible tells us (1 Peter 3:15)

Something drastic, I think.

“I am preparing the work of My mercy; I desire a new resurrection of Society but it will be a work of love.”

• Jesus to Servant of God Sr. Benigna Consolata

“… before the world ends the Son of Man will be brilliantly and beautifully seen in the Catholic Faith.”
– The Eternal Father to St. Hildegard von Bingen

 

[ChibiViolet]

It’s usually best not to argue with people about religion. If someone wants to argue with you about you’re being a Catholic, you might just tell them that the conversation is making you uncomfortable, or just basically agree to disagree. There’s no real reason for arguing about different faith perspectives, unless it can in a given instance, bring about positive changes, or help someone out of a bad situation perhaps. Even then “argue” may not be the best word for it.

So does truth matter? Does Jesus words matter? John 14:6

Going from Protestant to Catholic is like going from standard definition TV to high definition TV. I still have a SDTV and watch it from time to time, but man the HDTV makes things so much clearer.

In the end I think God will judge fairly as only He knows our hearts. That being said, once truth is revealed to us we are expected to believe it and standfast, regardless of others urge to fragment because of pride.

I believe something like this too. In order for our religious conflicts to resolve, there will have to be a big change, some big event that is obvious to most people. You say Christ will return, I believe the Messiah will come. May this happen soon!
