Non Catholic differences in Biblical interpretation

[Marvin_parv]

Whoa guys take it easy on me. I’ve only been studying deeper for about a year now. Don’t totally understand some of the stuff you guys are saying.
The only reason I asked is I am trying to learn all sides. My son was pulled away from me by anti-catholic fundamentalists who have made it their mission to make sure all Catholics know they are going to Hell. The big issue is we were friends with these people for 12 years and somehow they were able hold their tongues, I guess I wasn’t worthy of being told I was going to Hell, while they prayed with us, all the while they were turning my son against my Faith. I am able to dialogue somewhat with him, but they have trained him well in a lot of the false anti-catholic beliefs of what the Catholic church teaches, basically to always keep me on the defense. He has even used the good ole change the subject to a different topic he hates about the church when I am starting to make sense. I have found through our emails that a lot of the differences are more in how certain words are defined. Like faith, justification, salvation, tradition, etc. He tends to ignore the things I say on how the Catholic church defines things, and tends to respond to me with an overload of Bible verses. So basically I was hoping to find how other denominations tend to differ on defining certain things in the Bible so it will give me an insight on how he might tend to define things. This way I might be able to start putting things in his terms.

Thanks for your help,

This is heart rending. I have watched Protestants for 60 years. And Catholics.

There are some that know the Heart of Jesus. And there are some who only fall back on shells of words. Words which were intended to be bursting and overflowing.

Younger folks and even the middle-aged like me need someone we can feel safe enough with to be honest about our dislikes about the Church. Maybe what your son dislikes about it is that he has seen it apparently doing the same as his new Protestant friends. Who one can react by siding with is higher in one’s esteem than whom one is reacting against.

What he and especially his friends most need is the Heart of Jesus calling out of them. That potential is what all of you already have in common and that is what will win the day, not the debate being described.

Significant in their own terms though the theological contrasts are, they are nowhere near as important as the Heart that up to now in history, doesn’t divide you into three camps at all.

In your research look for interpretations and exegesis that are superficial vs. those that look at the heart which God sees.
