Ten Areas of Roman Catholic Deception

HC:

I understand your general sentiment and actually we should all be praying for Christian unity. I bite on certain people's posts and I should not.

That being said I will respectfully disagree on several of your points--I would fail my faith if I didn't. I would argue against your assertion that the Catholic Church is "too busy fighting for who is right that..." The RCC in modern times is NOT--because by its very existence they believe they are the authoritative church--like it or not, it is scriptural and they were for centuries so they're not really pressed about this. The RCC these days are too busy evangelizing, feeding the poor, caring for the sick, standing up for the unborn, the aged, and traditional marriage--LIKE KNOW OTHER RELIGIOUS GROUP ON THE PLANET. And let's not forget--a lot of those that benefit are not even Catholic. Where were all of the Protestant churches two weeks ago for the rally against Planned Parenthood all across the country. I was at one--didn't see a lot non-Catholics. Where are all of you in January on the mall every year for the right to life March?

I really for the life of me can't understand why some Protestants have such a difficult time with Peter. No organization on earth is leaderless. Period. Christ knew what His future held. Of course he left His work in the hands of a leader--a flawed, old coot like Peter--not different than me or you.

Again, I really equate some Protestant Churches with the social justice movements of today. Were their things in the 1500's that needed to be corrected? You betcha. Any real student of history knows that today's Protestant Churches are not the intended outcome of most of the reformers. Gay bishops, women bishops, etc...

Why do some fail to look at history? Were we meant to go at it alone with the whole "Jesus and me are BFFs and I don't need to go to a physical building? By the thousands of medieval churches still standing (some from the 4th century) I would say no. What was their purpose? "Wherever two are gathered...a fine example of cherry picking scripture...And the ridiculousness of the argument that RCC churches are too lavish...walk in most Catholic Churches--you'll FEEL like you're in sacred space. That's the point! Bare walls and a picture of a river flowing above a baptismal pool doesn't speak sacred to me...

We agree on all this, actually, but I didn't know how to say it.

On these forums people bicker over religion.

AND quite frankly I am very disappointed in the way a lot of the protestant churches are handling the whole gay marriage thing.

Peter was the rock.... John was the beloved.... it's personality and both were necessary.... I couldn't even begin to have a problem with anyone that Jesus chose to walk with Him while He was here.

So which side are you on?

Chuckie bashes every chance he can. Look at the title of this thread.
We don't care if anyone doesn't beilieve like us.
You are the ones spewing hate.
Just leave us the F..k alone, and go back under the rocks you came out from before you "found "Jesus and started one of your 3,000 strip mall churches.

What Church did Jesus start in? His followers were kicked out of the synagogue.
They met in homes.
Therefore, the argument is a fallacious argument.

Jesus started the Church 2,000 years ago, not 500 like yours.
They met in homes to protect themselves not in 3,000 market places with 3,000 interpretations of his word.

God allowed there to be twelve tribes of Israel because different people need different things and have different individuality.

Church historian Lightfoot said by the end of the 1st Century there was already Congregational, Episcopal and Presbyterian forms of church government and they heard right from the Apostles.

So Lightfoot was the man.......I don't think so....he was just a Theologian with an opinion.......

Go back a few post. Did chuckt actually dismiss Seeker/HC because she's a woman???? Man, that's just ridiculous. She is the reason I read a lot of these posts and she probably is more dedicated to bible study and contemplation than most.

And his cut and paste bible quote about woman being inferior to man and the cause of sin is well, ridiculous.
