Saints?

[stitchy]

Where do saints fit in with Christianity?

Growing up I was raised Catholic, in a Catholic primary school. After that I drifted from religion, to cut a long story short, and now I'm a reborn Christian.

However, since becoming a Christian I haven't heard any talk of saints in my church, but I remember them being an important part of Catholic church. Are saints only important in some denominations? And yeah.. how do they fit in? Are they mentioned anywhere in the Bible?

Thanks.

Hey Stitchy,

I am a former catholic also and I am a Born again christ follower and I am here to tell you that YOU are now a dear saint of God. Yes you heard me right!! If you live for Christ and know His Love and salvation you are now one of HIS precious SAINTS!!!

The pope used Saints (which were just people like us) for the purpose of making a income for himself & the church.

(If I'm not mistaken) they are still doing it today And did you know they have a saint for everything..NOT KIDDING. Most of the saints in the catholic church did something good or had something good happen in there life like the Lord appearing to them or a miracle happened are they just did real good deeds but you see things like that still happen to us today so you see we can all be called saints. Now don't take this wrong I am not putting down the catholic religion there are lots of catholics that Love Our Lord we are not to judge them or anyone else. Just read your BIBLE the Lord will guide you because it is the "Biblical Interpretation Before Leaving Earth"

God Bless!

Good Evening Yersha,

In my past dealings with other Christians, I have found that we all have our variations of thoughts and opinions on most any subject. And great information can be found very easily .......If you are prepared to read. May I recommend that you go to the back of your KJV Bible or whatever you read from and simply look up the term "Saints." You will be amazed to find a source of information in the index of the Bible. Many also have a "definitions" sectioin. The reason I recommend you go to the index, is that you simply can't go wrong if you do the work, and you will appreciate so much more that you found the information you needed. I too was born Catholic, and although I still fellowship with some great parishioners there still, there is much that I do not agree with, and many times you will find that the information we received may vary according to how informed and prepared the local Priest is there. I might also add that the newer and younger Priests seem to be doing a much better job, and I'm not quite sure why , but I'm sure that they too are becoming more "Christian oriented rather than the more "traditional style" Roman Catholic Priest. Hope this helps you , as it has aided me so many times over to simply reference the index in the rear of your Bible .

Blessings

Paul in his letters referred to believers as saints.

Romans 1:7

To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 1:2

Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their's and our's:

Ephesians 1:1

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:

Philippians 1:1

Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:

Colossians 1:2

To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ
