What is your point? Are we seducers, leading people astray? Is this your answer to my questions “are we heretics”? You are amazing. You are one of the reasons people do not want to have anything to do with the RCC. That is a shame because many of us do want to grow, share, and learn from one another. But then again, it is hard to learn from someone else when you think you are the only one with the answers, isn’t it?
I agree with your assessment of the posts. He (she?) has been cautioned by other posters to tone it down.
on the contrary if you knew me you would love me. i am honest and sincere. what i say is not to ofende anyone. i am greatfull that you are seeking the truth. for i know that is God who is directing you to the truth and i hope you find it.
:hug3: 
I doubt we’ll ever see anything substantial coming from anybody. Everybody is too wrapped up in the “I’m right, you’re wrong” philosophy. We should concentrate on what different denominations have in common, not the differences. I bet the former far outweighs the latter.Is an apology for the Counter-Reformation forthcoming as well?
Will you please stop avoiding my question and answer it. It is a simple question, so answer it. And by the way, I know the truth and it has set me free, so do not suppose that your “I’m right, you’re wrong” attitude is going to influence me one way or the other. I just want you to be honest about your feelings and answer my question with a “yes” or “no”.on the contrary if you knew me you would love me. i am honest and sincere. what i say is not to ofende anyone. i am greatfull that you are seeking the truth. for i know that is God who is directing you to the truth and i hope you find it.
I think you are barking up the wrong tree if you think you are going to get an forthright, or even charitable, answer.
Yes ,but Luther was not very Catholic. He knew nothing about humility. He was a prideful priest and many heresies were started by prideful Catholic priests, Hus, Arius, Zwingli, etc. etc.
Pope Urban II was not a heretic.
I certainly do not think all Catholics are like wisdomseeker and sword brethren: two people who are so well informed the rest of us (especially Protestans) are simply poor, pitiful peons who must bow for their brilliance. I know lots of Catholics, and nothing like what I experience on thise forum, from a few Catholics, goes on in our friendships. In fact, we make it a point to learn from one another, and to share our Christian walks in an open and honest way. Why can’t more people on this forum have your attitude? Where does it get anybody to be so condescending and rude as those other folks? Regardless, thanks for the encouragement. After all, isn’t that what we should all be doing for one another?I think you are barking up the wrong tree if you think you are going to get an forthright, or even charitable, answer.
But please do not think all of us Catholics are like this. Some of are nice. I am still looking but as soon as I find one, I will let you know!
Why not? He taught something that was totally and utterly unScriptural. You know, that whole kill Muslims and you get forgiveness thing.
Because you ignored it. Here is what you said followed by my question:
“Kill Muslims and you get forgiveness thing” is that a quote of Pope Urban II? Fighting a Holy Crusade is not unScriptural.
My goodness is there a reason for so much anger?
If one dies in mortal sin one will be in hell. If one knows that the Holy Catholic Church is the True Church and does not join Her, there is no salvation for that person.
Believing Christ is God is not enough. The protestant faith rejects many of Christ’s teachings.
The protestant faith is a false religion and thier Christ is a false Christ. protestants should leave thier false religion and come to Christ and His Church, the Catholic Church. If protestants left their faith and joined the Catholic Church then they would have the True meanings of salvation. But, one must remember that being a member of the Catholic Church is not enough. One has to live and die in grace.
Please quit being so condescending. You know exactly what I meant. I DO think the Crusades were legit, but it is undeniable that Pope Urban told the crusaders that killing a infidel (Muslim) is the path to heaven. He made it clear that doing so would absolve them of their sin. So, where is that in Scripture?
So you have determined our fate. It is good to know that you stand in God’s place where I and my “false religion” followers are coonsidered. Keep it up. You make this whole Christian thing lool real appealing for unbelievers.
