They have issues with us as well. I don't think either group should use these things to build walls between us.
I have found that when I treat Catholics with respect, we can have meaningful dialogue. When we aren't respectful,
they move away pretty quickly. They have been blasted by Protestants before. They know we are a lost cause.
One of my best friends is agnostic. He has been a better friend to me than any Christians I know.
I accept people where they are and don't push them away. Respecting a person's beliefs is key to open and honest discussion.
People know when we are treating them like a project. That's not love.

If you belong to any Bible based groups, of course the answer is IT IS BAD.
but these Bible based groups mostly scare their members that if you don't give 10 percent or other pecuniary offerings asked by their pastors, they will say that you are stealing God and God will curse you for it.
In the Catholic Church, you can go to Mass w/o giving a cent until you die.

This is going to sound rude,and I don't mean it too. But many Christians have a very bad habit of comparing unsaved people to Christian brothers and sisters. I believe according to the Bible that is wrong.
Secondly I do not respect anyone's belief that does not line up with the Bible. I can love the person,but I don't respect their belief. If I love them I'm going to tell them the truth of their error. You don't have to attack a person to tell them the truth. Traveled in ministry in various churches that were not evangelical and told them the truth of the Bible and saw many get saved.
Yes,I'm sure Catholics have issues with us,but their issues are because of man made false doctrine and they need to know it. If you have an open door to share the Gospel you take it,always. You don't have to shout people down but you do need to tell them the truth. Many are brain washed from childhood. I believe many are waking up now with this secular pope and the sexual abuse going on.

A biblical basis? Now you are changing the rules. This makes you nervous, as it should.
It doesn't really matter who you are or where you go to church, someone somewhere believes
that you are lost and your church is run by the devil. Here's an example. I'm going to take
a wild guess and say that you are probably not a Seventh Day Adventist. So, for the sake of argument,
let's say I guessed correctly. Now, if I asked a SDA what he thought about you and your church,
what would he say? You guessed it. See how that works?
