You guys keep acting as if these are "different" faiths.
All Christian faiths boil down to ONE thing.
There is one God who created all things. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The God of Israel. He is one God in three persons....father, son and Holy ghost.
Jesus is God, who came to the earth, lived a perfect life, was crucified to pay the punishment of sin all humans commit and have to be judged for. Salvation comes through faith in Jesus (or God the father if you've never heard of Jesus or came before his time....."I and the Father are one"..."he that hath seen me hath seen the Father").
That is the Christian faith. All these denominations....Baptist, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Methodist, Catholic.......etc.
they are the Christian faith.....just little man made sects of it.
They are all the same faith.
Quit acting like "catholic" is some separate religion/faith. Faith in God/Jesus/bible is the Christian faith. Catholicism is the Christian faith. It's got a ton of "traditions" they've added over the years but it is the Christian faith. The bible and scripture is the core of all these faiths.
He's basically saying the bible is mostly crap but I'm a "Catholic", "Baptist", "Presbyterian"........fill in whatever denomination you want, they are all the Christian faith.
We are more in to living Jesus in our heart, and practicing his teachings in our daily lifes... That was today's gospel and homily at Mass this morning. 'Don't be like the Pharisees and Scribes'.
Why don't you worship your way, and leave others to practice their faith their way?
What's "your way"?
Scribes bitched about all the little traditions.....washing hands....don't do anything on the Sabbath that even remotely looked strenuous.
We are talking about the validity of the bible and faith in Jesus Christ.
I don't even know what you are talking about. What are you talking about? What is your way? Is Jesus God or not? You have faith in what?
I looked up the tenets of the Roman Catholic Faith:
• The Bible is the inspired, error-free, and revealed word of God.
• Baptism, the rite of becoming a Christian, is necessary for salvation — whether the Baptism occurs by water, blood, or desire.
• God’s Ten Commandments provide a moral compass — an ethical standard to live by.
• The existence of the Holy Trinity — one God in three persons. Catholics embrace the belief that God, the one Supreme Being, is made up of three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
Well right out of the shoot you have already been shucking that first one. It is a "BS thing evangelicals use"
Baptism. Well Christians are instructed to get baptized. Salvation doesn't hinge on whether you get baptized or not but it is something Jesus said to do so to be obedient and pleasing to God one would do that.
There is nothing unique about "Roman Catholic" faith. Tenet one is pretty much EVERY CHRISTIAN faith. Since the bible is mostly BS to you, what is "your faith" that you keep spouting as if you follow some separate religion "DIFFERENT" from all Christian faiths?
What are you even talking about?
