Who Do I Confess My Sins To?

[Mungo]

Do you want an actual non-bashing answer to this?

Is there one?

 

[Jane_Doe22]

Is there one?

Yes. A disciple of Christ (which includes but is not limited to Catholics) can indeed talk without bashing people of any group.
I myself am not Catholic, but I will NOT partake in Catholic bashing (or any other type of bashing).

Ok---

No, calling the Catholic Church the Roman Catholic Church is a Protestant invention.
The full title is the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church but this is normally abbreviated to Catholic Church.
The Catechism (for example) is called the Catechism of The Catholic Church.
The Catholic Church is accurate because it is the name of the Church. A particular Church's name is what it calls itself not what someone else calls it.
A name is not necessarily a description of it.

The claims are not unfounded because history shows the Catholic Church goes back to the apostles, whereas the Mormon Church only goes back to Joseph Smith in 1830.

Actually everything that is True about Christ's Church was not founded in ~33 AD. Rather, His Truth and His Church far pre-date that time, they predate even the creation of this Earth and are eternal! Christ lived His mortal life ~0-33 AD, teaching, sacrificing, resurrecting, etc. His Truth and His Church pre-dated then and lives on past then.

Everything True about the Catholic church was not founded during Christ's mortal ministery- it long predates that.
Everything True about the Methodist church was not founded during Christ's mortal ministery- it long predates that.
Everything True about the Orthodox church was not founded during Christ's mortal ministery- it long predates that.
Etc.

With me thus far?

No!

 

[Jane_Doe22]

No!

Ok, so which points do you disagree with?

 

[Marymog]

i mean or you can just spout the brochure for the rest of your life, but ask yourself how many mindless drones Yah needs eh
condemnation in those in Christ? hmm

Hi bbyrd.....What is “Yah”?

Thank you.

 

[Marymog]

Re-writing history does not make it true! The Roman Catholic Church goes back to Constantine, not the Apostles!

Hi Candidus,

I love history.

I have heard your claim espoused by others also and I always wondered: If the RCC did not begin until Constantine then who was OR was there a bishop of Rome before Constantine? Did he install the first Bishop of Rome?

Hi Jane,

I would like to become a ‘disciple of Christ’. What is the criteria I have to meet?

Mary

 

[mjrhealth]

Mt 16:18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it.

Jesus said he would build a Church - and he did.
I believe him - why don't you?

He built His church on revelation, which is what that was and is all about, but obviously you have none, but you follow men and there doctrines, your choosing not His.

 

[Marymog]

You have no more legitimate claim to Apostolic Succession than a Mormonism has for Restoring the Gospel.

Hi,

I love history and always look forward to anyone that can enlighten me on it. Is there any current church that can claim Apostolic Succesion?

Mary, many Catholics are wonderful Christians whom indeed have a great personal relationship with Christ.

I don't wish to repeat our incredibly frustrating conversations, and bid you ado.​

Hi bbyrd.....What is “Yah”?

Thank you.

I think he gave God a nick name.. Yah·weh

 

[bbyrd009]

Hi bbyrd.....What is “Yah”?

Thank you.

a way to unpronounce YHWH, which is a poor transliteration anyway imo, better put to us more like AEOU or something. Y'all get raised with "There are no vowels in Hebrew" too btw? Total yack, the Hebrews invented vowels
The Jews invent vowels
"cross the Sea of Reeds, part the Sea of Reeds," etc

Hi Jane,

Well, you don’t have to repeat any conversations. And trust me I don’t want to do that either. I just want to be a disciple of Christ.

Surely, after 2,000 years of Christian men studying the bible someone has come up with a list that sets forth the criteria of what it takes to be a disciple of Christ. How did you figure out what it takes?

Is there an instruction booklet? Like a catechism? Not the catholic one...but one I don’t know about.

Mary

 

[Marymog]

Oh....of course. I’m embarrassed....I should have seen that.

NM @bbyrd009 I got my answer!

Thank you....I should have figured it out. It makes sense now.

Mary

 

[bbyrd009]

ah well dunno about the he part, but ok

 

[bbyrd009]

Mary

and are yall raised with "Hebrews=vowel deprived" or no?

 

[bbyrd009]
