I understand that we need to be mindful of how we appear to others, but I think that just a little bit of education for the non-Catholic will easily solve any misunderstanding.

And I must admit that I do find it curious that non-Catholics are so quick to assume we’re idolizing a statue, yet will be quite accommodating to scenes like this, and not assume that these folks are idolizing a box of kleenex. 😛

Oh I don’t know…the last time I had the flu (several years ago) I probably looked like that as I bowed before the almighty kleenex box.

As if anyone cared, my computer has been having delays… my response to Andrew was when I see someone having blatant disregard to the Word of God, I tend to transcend that and see that as disregarding Him, the Lord…the living Person rather than in text form…

But acknowledge Calgar’s respect and reverence for God’s Word, nevertheless…

KathleenGee,

I know you tried to help Calgar. I did have some good PM discussions with him. I pray he will find his way.

Peace,
Anna

Guess I should be careful on this Catholic forum. 😉 If I hear something long enough, I might actually believe it and buy the bike (and by bike, I mean Catholicism.) 😃

Peace,
Anna

Hmmmm… I’ve been a Baptist or more than 40 years and I’ve never seen anyone kneel at an altar during services. Not once, not ever.

I have attended Catholic services and of course kneeling is part of the service. I respect the actions of Catholic services and would hope that Catholics would offer reciprical respect. I think most do.

Still, kneeling in front of a statue does lend itself to misunderstanding for a non Catholic. Respect for each others’ practices goes a long way.

Thank you Forever. I was just teasing. It was a custom in the Baptist Church for people to swarm he stage area weekly in repentance and rededication. I was a better Christian living as a Baptist then I ever was as a nominal Catholic growing up.

I usually do something to fall from grace on CAF. So, just for this one moment, allow me to do the dance. :egyptian::egyptian:

I understand now, thank you.

I had a stroke and sometimes it takes more than one try to get things in my head.
 
As a former hardcore southern Baptist I’ll tell you what they believe.

They believe…
-by faith alone you are saved (not so bad)
-you must be baptized by immersion (not really a big issue to me)
-they believe the Bible is the only source of info about Jesus etc. (not true)
-mainly just have a personal relationship with Christ
-the “rapture” with the invisible disappearance thing
-millenium
-singular one antiChrist

Some believe…
-the Catholic Church is the Whore of Babylon
-that you should wrestle snakes because God gave you authority
-the pope is the antiChrist

They are generally good people though
