Why are some of you Catholic, Roman Catholc, Obl. OSB, etc

[CopticChristian]

Oh come on guys, you are either united to Christ or you are not. All other theological distinctive which divide the body of Christ are moot point, and can tempt the flesh. We should simply attend the purest Christian church according to our own discernment and conscience before God. To say my church is more right than yours, or my church is the one true church is toddler sibling rivalry.

CU,

This is contrary to One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism…and it is your perogative that wants to deny that differences are important.

 

[CopticChristian]

You guys can continue say the Catholic Church is the One True Church and hold your breath to your face turns blue… like a toddler pouting, but that Catholic belief is just that, a Cathoic belief shared by Catholics in which your Protestants siblings disagree.

CU,

You can hold your breath until your face turns blue, then purple then grey…and the OHCAC remains…

Have you read Moby Dick?

 

[CopticChristian]

Of course truth matters. Since we are on a Catholic Forum site, it’s hard to argue what is truth. If you were on a Protestant Forum site, truth on that site would be quite different than what is truth on this site.

CU,

Then you should reflect…if two people say that they both have the truth then one of them is wrong and then you might want to consider that when you come here asking anyone to accept what you propose from the other site may be seen as wrong.

 

[CopticChristian]

I can link you to Protestant websites in which entire Evangelical Alliances made up of many Protestant denominations that would not receive you as siblings in Christ. I would be rebuked by my Evangelical brothers for fellowshipping with you on Catholic Answers.

CU,

In consideration that history does not distinguish these communities as having been given anything resembling the origin of Christian thought then there is no loss in that.

 

[CopticChristian]

It is quite appropriate to continue to proclaim that the Catholic Church is the One True Church on this Catholic site. However, it you went to a Christian Forum site with a mixed bag of Christian denominations, or a Protestant Forum site, you will find sincere and grounded Christians who would believe otherwise; they would give you a good debate on the topic. I am not going to debate this issue on a Catholic Forum site. I can disagree agreeably with you on this issue, and respect your belief as a sibling in Christ.

CU,

Then this should give you pause to reflect on your thread…can we stand another 500 years of division should it not?

 

[CopticChristian]

I am Christian who is catholic. I’m not really Protestant since I do not protest against the Catholic way of salvation through the sacraments. Over the years, I have been through quite a few Protestant churches and the non-denominational ones too.** I stay within the lines of orthodoxy defined within the historical ecumencial creeds. ** I’m okay with infant baptism and believer’s baptism, and believe the sacraments are a means of grace. Can God regenerate sinners through the sacraments… sure.

CU,

Guanaphore has pointed out that the definitions of the Creeds as defined in the Reformed Camp do not equate to the same Creed.

 

[CopticChristian]

So why won’t you tell anyone where you go to church. Or do you go to church? What’s all the mystery about?

Steve,

CU won’t answer the question that Guanaphore posed

When was Cornelius regenerated

and I have asked CU several times if he has read Moby Dick and he never responds to that either.
