I mean, apart from for the great coffee and cookies, the wit, the repartie, - why else are non catholics here?

Is it out of idle curiosity for the catholic faith.

Is it to teach the catholics the error of their ways.

Is it to genuinely debate differences.

If its to debate differences - to what end? Is it to get converts for your religion, or are you open enough to respond to the catholic church if your concerns can be satisfied?

Im just curious that’s all.

It occured to me I have no interest in hinduism, so I dont visit hindu sites and I have currently no interest in debating their beliefs with them. I have no interest in Islam and dont visit Islamic sites and dont debate their beliefs with them. So what’s the interest here for non-catholics?
Not sure I have just one reason, but I do like it here. It can be stressful when many of us get a little heated (sometimes unneccessarily)👍 , but above all it’s a just a good time.
 
Are you saying that christians are only one group? You compare non christian groups with a christian view and rightly reject non christian views.
But, all christians have an interest in christian faiths-- or so I thought?
Personally, I would call Christianity one religion.
 
Probably because I am bored, don’t have a life, and addicted to the internet. Internet forums are a bad habit of mine.

If you all want to vote me off the island, I am cool with that.

I don’t. I think that you have added something other than frustration. 😛

Haven’t tasted the coffee and cookies yet, but that would do it for me.😃
Is it out of idle curiosity for the catholic faith.
My curiosity and desire to understand Catholicism is far from idle. After all, much of what I know and understand about Christ comes from the teachings that go back to the Apostles.
Is it to teach the catholics the error of their ways.
No way, Jose!😉

I believe that if we come to understand one another better, the Holy Spirit has a better chance of leading us to unity. I don’t believe in “sheep stealing.” I would not try to convince a Catholic to become Lutheran although if one were to express a desire to do so I would help them discern where the Holy Spirit was leading them. On the other side of the coin, I would not seek to discourage a Lutheran from becoming Catholic if they were convinced that is where they belong.

Personally, if I discerned that the Holy Spirit were leading me to Catholicism, I would be doing some serious prayer and contemplation about what I should do.
 
Hello,

As a muslim , i was invited here by a protestant minister. he said that people on this forum have questions on Islam.

Most questions i get have hostile intent , i would say 65% , but some are sincere . I am here on the for the following reasons:-

1- Answer sincere questions on Islam and try to correct misunderstandings

2- Keep updated on the latest fashion and trends on Islam and muslim bashing.

3- Have a glimpse on what a lot of christians think about in terms of faith.

As i understand this section is for non catholic religions. Thus i do not see my self distracting on any topic that is exclusevly related to catholicism. What are YOU doing in the non catholic area of the forum lol. 😃

best reagrds,
🙂

I joined because my husband is Catholic, and I wanted to learn more about the Catholic point of view. So far it’s been very informative, but also in many ways very discouraging as well

Why not just put us Former or non Catholics on a space ship and send us to a another Planet. How about building a wall and forcing the “Prots” to stay in sector 9. What kind of question is that anyway? Your atttiude against fellow humans scares me. Why the hate for Non Catholics. Why do I vist this blog? I find it amusing how some catholic attack other christian groups and the thread question such as this one are so mean spirited.

Then again you could just burn us at the stake like in the old days. ( please use dry wood for me )
 
Have bratwurst and beer instead, and you’d need a Lutheran section. 😃
No, NO, NO! :mad:

😦 It’s Friday. WHY DO THE LUTHERANS WANT TO COOK SUCCULENTLY ON FRIDAY?!!! 😦 TriuneUnity had BBQ or something a few months ago. 😦 😦

6 hours 34 minutes.

Just to tempt the Catholics. 😃

Ok, ok! We’ll wait until tomorrow, and all the Catholics here are invited. How about fried fish and beer today, instead?

😦 I’m allergic to fish. 😦
 
Because up until about 2 weeks ago I had never stepped foot in a Catholic Church and now I spend my week looking forward to going back.

There is not much that I have not heard from the Protestant beliefs after spending 20 years in a Protestant Church. So, I enjoy reading the Catholic responses to things that I have believed my whole life.
 
I can have that. I can also have vegetable fried rice, four cheese raviolli, nachos, cream of cellery soup, um, pb&j…
pb&j, huh? Creamy or crunchy?
Come on, aren’t you even tempted a little by the “succulent Lutheran cooking”?
Ok. well, at least we can share couple beers with the pb&j. Not allergic to beer, are you?

From a Lutheran, if that is where the Holy Spirit is leading you, by all means follow. May His blessings meet you at the door, and the altar.

Ha ha, no. …Though, IF one choses to drink on a Friday, it should be with utmost temperance.

Crunchy, of course.

I’d like to have some (my mom made chili with little weiner dogs wrapped in Pillsbury croissants), but, it’s Friday, and I abstain to keep in my memory Jesus died on a Friday, so, I’d like to have some (and I count down until midnight), but, nah.
