Posted: 6/13/2008 6:51:20 PM | | Behavior is what determines whether or not someone is truly Christian. There are many "Christians" who promote hatred while using Christ's name. Those people are not genuine Christians. REAL Christians act in a loving manner toward others, and show compassion for those who are poor, different, or need help in some way. | |

Posted: 6/17/2008 10:49:30 PM | Some christians are against catholics and some aren't just like some of each and every religion are against each other....nature of forming their own identities. There is no real christian or real catholic, it's just what those people choose to be for themselves and to represent their faith, which is great.
Yes, Christians and Catholics act in a loving manner towards others but we don't care for gays. I know chrisitians and catholics who have helped those who have harrassed or beaten on others despite the fact that that meant they lost parts of their long standing congregation, but if somebody lies, steals, or gets divorced over irreconcilable differences or infidelity then they are shun away(puzzling). I know Christians who don't care for those who smoke or even occasionally drink saying that's not right but people who were around when Jesus was living drank. Christians and catholics are supposed to help singles find love and marriage for 4 or 5 kids but they rarely do or don't or the singles should want another christian or catholic for marriage but they want the oppposite(puzzling again).
So you see, you can't say there is a true or real christian or catholic, just what each person chooses to be for themselves and to represent their religion. | |

Posted: 7/1/2008 3:46:37 PM | This is a common technique of weaseling out of a debate known as "moving the goalposts You obviously refer to your "tactics" of staying off topic and "suggesting" that which you obviously do not know nor understand.
I plainly said you characterized them as not valid religions - which is to say not valid belief systems...you however are now selectively using the word "religion." All words are to be used selectively...as selectively as their context renders them relavent,meaningful and appropriate. YOU used the term religion. I corrected you in your use. It is not selective as much as it is FACT. I have never stated that LDS nor RC were not religions. That is YOUR inability to read and understand that has you trapped in an argument with your own inablity to grasp the difference between what I stated and what you got from it. My post is still there for you to read as many times as you'd wish to gain the understanding needed to move on.
The weakness, absurdity and sheer ignorance of your post coupled with the venom and illogical conclusions you draw are a sign of your fear of truth. The argument you seem to wish to make is NOT based upon what I have posted without your own negative interpretation as the real argument to which you wish to argue.
Full Gospel Christians" which is a thinly veiled way of saying in this instance "real Christians" or those who have a real "relationship" with Jesus/Yeshua That quote would be case and point. The argument you wish to make is based upon your own negative interpretation rather than fact nor what has been posted.
There is no rhyme or reason to it.
For your information ; Full Gospel actually refers to non or inter DENOMINATION in which Biblical scriptures are the full and complete context and subject upon which christianity is studied. It is NOT a term for "real Christian"....nor "those who have a real relationship with Yeshua". The more likely term for that is Born Again. Being a Born Again has nothing to do with denomination. There are Born Again Jews, Born Again Catholics, Born Again Baptists...ect.
John 3:5-7
Now there are some that point to the manifestation of the spirit of God being in someone based upon the priciples of (Galatians 5:22-23)the fruit of the Spirit.The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. | |

Posted: 7/2/2008 11:28:41 AM | Because the catholic church has bigger cathedrals, more money, more property, more bishops, more clergy, more fathers and more of just about everything and they have a Pope.
But the christians are trying really hard to catch up with their mega churches. | |

Posted: 7/2/2008 11:48:32 AM | | Apologies up front because I didn't read the whole thread (it's rather long) but Catholics ARE Christians so the question is a little off. I believe you may have meant "Protestants" rather than Christians (although I don't even know if all non-Catholic Christians would consider themselves Protestants either.) | |

Christians are followers of christ.
Catholics are followers of the Pope, who catholics SAY is christ's earthly representative.
Therefore, catholics are not christians. | |

Posted: 7/2/2008 3:25:15 PM | working part-time for a certain international aid charity (when I'm not driving british drivers potty), my biggest annoyance with my brother catholic is their insane refusal to allow the use of condoms to help prevent the spread of HIV and to help reduce the population growth in african countries. I truely believe that the phrase "go forth and multiply" has been misunderstood. It didnt mean go and make like bunnies, but to spread the word about our Lord and offer others the true path of salvation. Ok so the good book also says the Lord will provide. But the book also says to look after your self. Encouraging unsubstainable population growth with the backup answer of oh well the Lord will provide, is a cop out. We were given free will so we could make sensible choices, we all know that without substantial changes in both farming, transport and government control we cannnot feed many more billions on this earth, and even now when any natural disaster strikes we are in serious trouble. I suggest that maybe the reason the Vatican continues with the outdated interpretation of go forth and multiply is because they are playing a dangerous numbers game. As Islam is the fastest growing religion especially in the same areas that Cafod operates, they are desperate to try to recruit and retain enough numbers to make their church viable and not just end up as another minor crank religion.
I am however not bashing catholics in general here, I dont care indeed what religion anyone follows as long as they conduct themselves in a civilised responsible manner and dont try to use their religion to harm others.
love and peace

Posted: 7/2/2008 5:02:24 PM | I can certainly understand your concerns about the failure to distribute condoms to help prevent the spread of AIDS. Even as a Catholic (partly anyways) I don't feel that condom useage is a sin in of itself. If they are being used for promiscuous sex I can understand the concern for promoting that kind of behavior, but if people are using them in stable relationships then what business is it of ours anyway?
I have no problems with different religions and feel that each has something to offer the world. I'm sort of a hybrid myself, having some beliefs of one church and some of another. I don't believe that God belongs to any one religion. Interestingly I recently read a Koran and saw many passages that were similar to the Christian Bible, such as "God is kind and merciful."
God Bless all of you. | |

Posted: 7/4/2008 7:09:03 AM | It makes perfect sense that the Koran would have much in common with the Bible. They have the same roots. God promised to reveal his plan of salvation through Abraham. Due to the culture of the time, it was assumed that meant Abraham's first born, Ishmael (conceived with the help of Abraham's slave) but the prophecy was fulfilled instead through Isaac, the younger son, born of Abraham's wife. The slave woman and her son Ishmael were exiled into the desert. Christianity grew from Isaac's line; Islam from Ishmael (Islam means desert warrior). The bible predicted that the two lines will always be at war. So both religions begin with the Old Testament Bible and grew from the same culture so it makes sense to have similarities.
I could write more but I'm not an expert and long posts get really hard to read. Plus, we're getting off topic. ;) | |

If ya don't know what your talking about, or have never gained enough
knowledge about something, then either seek and ye shall find......
or get your head outa yer a**.
A christian is with Christ , and actions speak louder than words.....
so any religion not following the words of God.......in thought and action,
is not a christian.
we are all christians that strive to follow the words of God in the name of Jesus.
The question posted cannot be accurately responded to , as it implies as a whole
one denomination or more against another.
eg: Jesus's deciples saw another person casting a demon out of someone,
the expressed their concerns."This man is casting out demons in your name!!!
Jesus responded:' He who is not against us............is For Us!!
enough said? | |
