Its interesting you said "Our priest pointed out that despite our differences, we are all Christians".
You do know the Catholic Church believes Muslims are Christians also mwc68?
How can a Muslim be a Christian when they reject Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior?
Not everyone who says "Lord, Lord" follows Jesus Christ mwc68 and that includes you.
Matthew 7:15-20
[SUP]15 [/SUP] "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
[SUP]16 [/SUP] You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?
[SUP]17 [/SUP] Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
[SUP]18 [/SUP] A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.
[SUP]19 [/SUP] Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
[SUP]20 [/SUP] Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
We can know you are not a True Christian by your fruits mwc68. You teach the Doctrines of the Catholic Church as Truths from God when in fact they are not from God.
Matthew 7:21-23
[SUP]21 [/SUP] "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
[SUP]22 [/SUP] Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?'
[SUP]23 [/SUP] And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'
Teaching false Doctrines is not doing the Will of the Father mwc68. This will keep you from Inheriting the Kingom of God mwc68.
Until you cast aside your Pride and humble yourself before God mwc68 you will never be a True Christian following God. You will always be a follower of Mary and I do not see any desire in you to stop it.
