Catholic or Protestant? any difference?

[JimR-OCDS]

The Roman Catholic way bows to a mere man, IE, the Roman pope in the Vatican. The Evangelical Protestant seeks to follow the Lord Jesus Christ as enunciated in the Holy Bible. Truth to tell, Romanism is unheard of in the Bible, no matter the version. Which disciple was a Roman Catholic? And, of course, Peter called himself an elder & an apostle, never once a Pope. Very interesting.

I knew it would take long for this to become a Catholic Bashing thread. Real spirit of Christ expressed there Arthur!

BTW, Peter was the first Bishop of Rome, and the word "catholic" means universal, so technically, Peter was Roman Catholic.

Jim,

I've requested this whole thread be deleted. It's contentious...that's all it is.

Daniel had an agenda. He wasn't asking questions. He had already formulated his answers.

(Daniel)

As far as "gay priests" ...there's enough pedophile evangelicals to go around also.

I was a victim when I was a teenager in a pastor's office. So, puleeese ...spare us.

Is communion reeeaaaallllyyyy God's body or just a symbol?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

communion is not bread and juice.....

I walk in communion with the Lord day in and day out.

the bread and juice(wine) is symbolic, we are to do this in rememberance of Jesus and what Jesus did for us.

to answer a question that might be there,

a friend of mine ( a Catholic,. very devout) says that those that are hindu and budist and muslims and mormons and J.W. and such all have the same god as we do, and that they may not be lost, so we are not to say they are lost and that they do not have to believe the same way we do...... ( funny, the Bible does not say this, the Bible says that there is only one way to the Father, and that is thru the son.........

I have not been in a mass for over 20 years, and even then i did not agree with what was being taught......now they are evidently teaching to have tollerance for all faiths and that we are tp accept them all as equal...... unfortunately that is not what God has had written down..

the best way is to get ones self ground into the Word and stay in the Word... that is the best weapon we havekl against the enemy.....stay close to the Lord.

if man says something, verify it with the Word of God......

Gd done told us that we are not to mix religions with Him..... God also done told us that He is the ONLY GOD ...............

either believe man or believe God..... your choice.

communion is being in fellowship, communicating, talking and listening.....

communion is a two way street, not a one way.... if i talk but do not listen, i am not communing......

Daniel, I agree with cats. You are not asking questions to gain answers. You are asking to purposely cause arguements. I am locking this thread. While we allow for healthy debates, we do not allow for out and out contention.

You have been warned.
