But really, I'm supposed to listen to a non Catholic teach me on Catholic doctine? That's kinda nuts. Would you learn music from a car mechanic?
We have reasons for our different views. It is an insult , I believe to tell someone they are wrong when they truly believe something that is part of their lives and in means so much to them.
Why is it bad to tell someone they are wrong, if they are wrong?r
The worst thing you can do to a person is to "love" them into hell.
This is serious business. Souls are at stake. It's far more beneficial to show someone their error, while there is time to correct it, then to let them die in ignorance and end up in hell.

The bible is not totally clear, otherwise we would all think exactly the same.
A heated discussion is a tool of the devil, I think?
I am impressed at how educated you all are in scriptures.
The Bible is totally clear - but people look at it through their own religious lens instead of reading it as written.
Not at all. Anger can force someone to look at cold hard truth in a manner they never did before.
Nothing is stopping you from becoming educated in the Word. In fact, God commands us to study the Bible. The reason? So we will not be taken in/fooled by false doctrine.
Get to it!![]()
Don't worry! I haven't been banned and I've had some outbursts I would have banned me for! lolBudman, I am totally on your side. You speak the truth, as far as I am concerned. But, we are only 10 post from making it 9000. Is it not kind of futile to continue.
I feel like if I continue I will get banned. I got to tell you I enjoy the subject. I have been told I have a hang up with the Catholics.
My wife makes me sit next her whenever we have to go to her family funerals and weddings. Don't make a scene she says. And, I say,"But, but ,but....". Cause I do not want to go in.
I have Jehovah witness cousins that will not talk to me. They will not talk to me because of our religious differences.
Celebrating Christmas and Easter is a pagan practice, I don't like it. I did my research and found out a lot about Christmas and Easter. Yet, my wife makes me decorate the house and buy a tree every year. Am I suppose to force my belief on her and get divorce to save her soul?
You see, i don't see the darkness yall portray. Last night at Mass everything was beautiful. The Holy Spirit was moving and our priest even extended his sermon. The music seemed particularly good and I know that was the Holy Spirit. This darkness and stuff yall talk at me about is just not there. We are the light of the world!
What hidden things? Why don't you make them known? Can you tell me one of these hidden things?
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God Romans 10:17
Study and show yourself approved by GOD ,a workman that will not be ashamed because you rightly divide the word of God 2 Tim 2-15
The word is LIVING. The Holy Spirit reads the reader. It is unlike any other book on the face of this earth. When you hold the Bible and let the spirit teach and guide and comfort you; that is when you are made aware of the deep truths in the Bible.
When you ask the Lord to teach you the gospels( Matthew,Mark,Luke, and John) in the absence of a "religion" you will begin to see the hidden things you cannot see now just as many many others who have come out of the RC church. But if you continue on this path of the RC warrior you will die in your sins. God cannot teach you unless you humble yourself and earnestly want to know HIS TRUTH.
I pray that you do seek because Jesus said that you will indeed find!

If we celebrated them as a pagan holiday, then it would indeed be wrong. We don't. We celebrate the birth and resurrection of Christ on those days. No need for a divorce.
