Sherlock:
Spokenword,

If I am wrong in my assumptions, then please tell me exactly how and where I’m wrong.

Based on what you have said, I think it entirely reasonable to think that a Christian going into a Jewish synagogue, as your sister has done, is a form of very poor evangelizing. My only other option is to think of your sister as an utterly stupid fool, completely oblivious to the world around her. Since I don’t want to think that of your sister, I can only think that she, and perhaps you, are completely ignorant of the usual social norms, by which we manage to survive. I’ll be honest: I would have no rational means of advancing any proposition, Christianity or otherwise, based in your rationality as shown in the posts here so far. Spokenword, I don’t know what you believe in, and I doubt you could give a good argument for anything you believe in—from the posts I’ve read, I guess that it’s safe to say that you believe (how daring of you) in Nice Things. Beyond that nice feeling, I see no attempt at reason. You think I’m being harsh—I just wonder where objective truth lies. Is Truth always nice, easy, fluffy, and easy to explain?

Give me proof.

There is a saying that goes; If you do not have nice things to say then dont say them.Sherlock, By further conversation with you may give me a reason to fall. So may the peace of Jesus Christ be with you. :confused:
 
this is one of the many reasons why i’m so happy to be a convert to the RCC. when i was protestant, it was SO hard to find a church where i didn’t end up disagreeing with everything the preacher said. even my ‘home’ church was uncomfortable - until i became catholic, i had never heard a sermon with which i agreed 100%. it was a ‘good sermon’ if i agreed with over 80% of what was said.

i hated it when i was out of town on a sunday, cuz you NEVER knew what you were gonna get. now, i LOVE traveling - i always know i’m gonna get the mass - sometimes it’ll look pretty, sometimes it’ll have a good homily, sometimes it’ll be ugly, sometimes horrible music, but it’s always the mass. that’s very reassuring.

i always went to church every sunday when i was prot. and it was always a matter of obedience - the Bible said to go, so i went. there were years that would go by where i hated the church where i attended. but i didn’t know there was better out there. i’d tried lots of different denoms, lots of diff churches. and it was always the same story - bad theology,

then i became catholic, and i’ve not looked back. 🙂

Harland:
My question still hasn’t been answered. Why aren’t fundamentalists protestant? You said fundamentalists originated from Paul. That means fundamentalism paralleled Catholicism, Paul to Fundamentalism, Jesus to Catholicism. You said the early Church classified fundamentalists as heretics?

I’ve never heard Fundalmentalists claiming to be from Paul. I am aware, however, that in an attempt to claim some sort of relationship to past heretical groups such as (yikes:eek: ) the Albigensians. As an extension are some claiming to derive from the Manichaeans? Perhaps this is where Harland gets the notion that the early Church considered Fundmentalists as heretics.

For what it’s worth, I always understood Fundamentalism to have begun as a reaction to the Social Gospel movement in the late 1800’s…the name being derived from “The Fundamentals” published around 1920.
