People around where I live believe that the Christian church exists only for men and that the catholic church exists just for women.
I have been told by some Catholic and Christian believers that the catholic church exists just for women and that a man cannot become a catholic through christening as this must be done in a Christian church.
I have also spoken to a few Christian followers and they seem to agree that a man and only a man can be baptised in a Christian church.
Christian followers of this belief also believe that if a man wishes to marry he must first be christened in Christ’s church and only after christening will he be permitted to go out into the world in search of a catholic women for the purpose of marriage, only then will a catholic (women) be allowed to enter into marriage with a Christian (Man) and allowed into Christ’s church.
I have also been told by this group that there are rules when it comes to baptism and Christ’s church.
Rule 1. Man can baptise man in Christ’s church but cannot baptise women (I believe the reason for this is because it must be done in a catholic church).
Rule 2. Single women are not permitted to enter Christ’s church unless for the purpose of marriage, married women are.
Rule 3. Only married men are permitted to preach in Christ’s church, women cannot even after marrying a Christian man.
My question is What do you think about these views and do you believe the Christian church will follow these beliefs?
God bless!
Completely crazy teachings... All I can say is read Paul's letters to the churches and 1Timothy and 2Timothy and you will see these teachings are false. I won't dispute them it's not my place simply read what the apostle Paul wrote.
Also I am not Catholic but I guarantee you no Priest anywhere would say the Catholic Church is for women.
And I have been baptized in a Christian Church.
Again I have no clue where you live but find a Pentecostal church like Lutheran or Baptist and talk to the minister he will tell you this is all not what God intends.
I have never heard of any denomination teaching this things. Don't get me wrong I'm grateful for not knowing.
God bless and my advice don't attend a church that teaches single women are not permitted to enter. If you someday have a daughter you may want to take her to hear God's message. If they're saying women can not minister that is different than attending.
God bless and much love,
