I have my doubts that Catholicism is Christianity

[amigo de christo]

I have a friend who was also raised in the Roman Catholic Church, and he once told me that the impact it had on his thinking is something he doesn't believe can be fully undone this side of the Kingdom age. He's constantly having to re-evaluate how he sees things, which can be quite frustrating for him at times. I feel for those who have come through that system. God is good for opening your heart and mind...many won't allow Him.

Yes GOD is so full of mercy and compassion desiring not the death of any but rather their repentance .
But as you wrote , MANY wont allow HIM .
even as their conscious is pricked , they continually fight against it
and seek answers from men who will preach their own hearts desires to them .
This is honestly how i beleive any beleiver
should have loved GOD . Anything and everything contrary to Him
should not have been allowed to be taught , praticed , overlooked .
WE OWE HIM everything and anything that contradicts HIM does DISHONOR HIM
Any doctrine , any pratice , any word , anything
that brings any dishonor unto GOD , Should not be allowed within the churches .
Rather it should have been corrected .
Because anything that dishonors GOD , also works naught but destruction on the one
who pratices such behavoir . SO it wont be saving or helping
anyone in the body if we allow sin upon them . In fact that is actually hate .
What we need is an increase of godly men
who will stand and arise and contend for the true faith
to teach and to instruct , to correct and to feed this sheep .
May we pray the LORD send them into the harvest and do all to contend for the true faith
While there is still time to do so .

Correct

God has already judged the evil workings of the RCC/Vatican and HE calls us to "Come out of her My people"

That verse in Revelation is not a reference to Catholics in the Catholic church.

Again,you think to condemn in your opinion what is God's perview.

It absolutely is in reference to the Vatican as well as all false religions who she is in bed with and those outside of her who hold not to the TRUTH of HIS Word.

OK.

 

[David in NJ]

OK.

i was raised RCC, so three things:
a.) i know about the evils of the Vatican
b.) i love my fellow catholics who NEED the Way the Truth and the Life
c.) God is saving people in all denominations where the Gospel is preached = HE does the Choosing

AGREE with you = we do not judge the person = God's Business not ours'

Thanks for that.

After awhile I know it does no good to try to lead human egos error into self reflection and repentance when the intention is to divide God's church.

I see that too as God's job.Not mine. Only God changes that what needs to be changed.

Thanks again.

HE does the Choosing

That's what the calvinists keep claiming.

God decides who gets saved and God decides who gets damned.

Nothing like a little calvinist heresy on a nice Tuesday afternoon!

But you did say God chooses who gets saved right?

Maybe you're a follower of Calvin's redneck cousin Cletus who led Cletusism south of Geneva

JESUS said it = so better check with His words

 

[Big Boy Johnson]

JESUS said it

So you claim Jesus was a calvinist?

Got scripture that specifically says God is the One is deciding who gets saved and He's preventing everyone else from being saved?

You seemed to be backed in to a corner here having previous said you were not a calvinite

You claim JESUS can be classified as a sinner who was not yet born = great one Bob


43“Stop grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus replied. 44“No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day. 45It is written in the Prophets: ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from Him comes to Me— 46not that anyone has seen the Father except the One who is from God; only He has seen the Father.

That's a lie and you know it. You must be one of satan's operatives now. You might want to repent and quick!

I never said Jesus was a sinner in any of my posts and you are deflecting the question that I asked you.

43“Stop grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus replied. 44“No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day. 45It is written in the Prophets: ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from Him comes to Me— 46not that anyone has seen the Father except the One who is from God; only He has seen the Father.

John 12:32
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw ALL men unto me.

Acts 17:30
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth ALL men every where to repent:

2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that ALL should come to repentance.

Titus 2:11,12
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to ALL men,
Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

Matthew 7:14
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

God calls ALL to salvation but He's not the One deciding who gets saved and who does not... each person is responsible to answer the Lord's call for their lives and sadly most do not find salvation and Jesus is telling us in Matthew 7:14

People following the calvinites believe Jesus is a liar and that's very sad for them as this leads to hell.
