CS Lewis was Protestant… This quote puts forth something not entirely “Catholic” and therefore, not entirely true. Yes, it is true that what matters most is who are “with”… but it also matters VERY much what we DO…

We can’t just sin with impunity and claim, at the same time, to be “in Christ”… as i believe M. Luther taught till the end of his life.:rolleyes:

This is baloney. I never implied that one could sin profusely and it not matter. C.S. Lewis was a very smart man with some incredible writings that maybe you could learn a lesson from Protestant or not. As for Mr. Luther, if Paul doesn’t mean faith alone in Romans, then what does he mean? Your post here is one of the most punitive and frivolous I have witnessed here.:blackeye:

Which version of the bible are you referring to…the Complete version (read Catholic) or the “lite” version (read Protestant)?

You just embarassed yourself. I am Protestant by your definition but yet my Bible contains the Apocrypha as yours does. Go figure.:o
 
The flame wars drive me nuttier every time they break out on these forums. If we disagree with one another, why can’t we be charitable?

Secondly, I get annoyed when non-Catholics bring up a verse just as if, in the history of the Church, no one ever noticed it before.
 
Posts like I have just added to my signature pretty sums it up for me.

Hardly embarrassed. Still waiting on these “facts” that you seem to know about.

You should be embarassed because you obviously don’t know anything about the people you profess as wrong.:byzsoc: :highprayer:

Youy should be embarassed about the way you’ve treated people on this forum. Of course, I’m sure you are above doing anything unchristian, at least in your mind. 😦

But certainly not in yours and yours is the one that counts being as mine is invalid.

If someone is truly saved, it is Christ that does the work, not the individual. We cannot save ourselves. We could never keep from falling away by our own merits. If we are truly saved, it is Christ who sustains us. C.S. Lewis once said that in the end, it isn’t going to matter what we did, it will only matter who we are with.

and how is one truly saved? how can one know for sure he is saved? it seems prettyyyyyyyyyyy presunctious to me if you ask.

  1. Most definitely Catholics and Protestants battling it out to say who has the most superior understanding of our religion - Christianity. This post is a perfect example. We are all children of God, we all believe in the same God, why can’t everyone stop being a big cranky pants and share the love of God. Please give it a rest!
  2. being told your selfish because you don’t want to have any more kids and get married gets my goat too
  3. People accusing other posters of not know the faith, Bible or deciding who goes to hell and who doesn’t, as this is God’s decision, not yours.
But there’s good stuff too
  1. People who live Christ’s message by being charitable, open-minded and understanding to all posters, their questions, their beliefs (whether Christian or not) and options.
2, People who are willing to guide others through their faith
  1. People who offer their prayers and thoughts to other posters.
Speaking of which, could everybody please add to their prayers the lives of all those lost in the Victorian bushfires and those left behind without family or their homes.
 
Catholics post “ad nauseum” about the Catholic faith simply because this just happen to be a CATHOLIC forum, and so many times folks mis-interpret or mis-state what our beliefs are.

BTW the Catholic Church has a whole army of theologians who makes sure each and every doctrine totally abides by scriptures. We have ONE and ONLY ONE interpretation for scriptures. So we end up with ONE and ONLY ONE Catholic faith not 20 or 25,000 different offshoots. So IF you THINK there is a contradiction to scriptures on any Catholic doctrine, there most certainly is NOT. I would take the opinion of the Catholic magisterium over yours or any other protestant any day.

So IF you want to put your ONE pastor or minister up against the resources of the Catholic Church then by all means have at it.

And IF your interpretation of scriptures is correct simply by you having read it, then why is it that there are thousands of protestant denominations each one started simply because one minister or member disagreed with anothers interpretation. IF the Holy Spirit guides you as you claim, shoudl there not be the SAME interpretation every time anyone reads the same passage ???

BTW protestant Bible experts who really study scriptures are prone to become Catholic once they discover that what they thought were contradiction were in fact true. You may want to read a couple of the Surpriesd by the Truth books. They list some serious biblical scholars who converted, including a few ministers.

That’s very played out. What about those who understand your faith better than you do but still disagree?

Could you please show us the thousands of different Scripture interpretations that you claim Protestants have? I would be curious to know what they are.

It’s a well known fact that a lot of offshoots come about because someone takes issue with another view of scriptures. And there is ONLY one view of the Eucharist. Where have you heard of any other ???

The very point that no one knows how many different interpretation you folks have is the correct number it could be 10,000 or 20,000 or more you pick a number and it could be right or wrong. The thing is, there should ONLY BE ONE.

You folks? I’m not a you folks and neither is my church. Your profession of one belief system among the faithful in your church is false. There is NOT one belief system. Your people are all over the map as is in any other church. The church may profess One doctrine, but the people believe differently. The Roman church does NOT have a 100% belief rate amongst its faithful in the Real presence. I rest my case.
