Wow, you think highly of yourself.

I don't mean to speak for the Catholic faith. I've tried to make it clear that I'm ignorant. Except for my 6 years of Catholic school. Of coruse that was a long time ago, and at a very early age. So, I don't pretend to speak for Catholics at all.

To: D Edmund Joaquin; Dean Baker
one mark of an antiChrist is that he stirs up trouble between believers. both you and that pastor qualifyHonestly, I haven't seen Dean Baker do anything but post what appears to be an honest question. He's been respectful. Also, this thread has, to this point, been rather civil.
I don't see any problem with people discussing their different religious beliefs.

I don't like Masons. My grandfather was a mason, but if you read what they're about-that's the insidious satanism

Quite to the contrary. I know my weaknesses better than anyone else. But, I do think very highly of my Savior. The job of any Christian is to be an ambassador of Jesus. (2 Cor. 5) An ambassador does not go out with his own message, but with the message of his king. I do not want to sound arrogant, but simply Biblical.

"I've seen conversations where those who are "Born Again" (Pardon me if I'm not using the correct term), consider Catholics and other religious people "Bound for Hell" because they don't worship correctly. How widespread are these beleifs? If at all??" They're just as widespread as those who disbelieve all the Scriptures like this: John 6:65.
Boiled down to their essence, there are only two religions in the whole world.

Mary's Sinlessness has to do with the Church's interpretation of "full of Grace" While...
...Mary's SinFULness has to do with the Bible verse:
Romans 3:23
...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,...

Thanks alnick.
And yeah, it has been a very respectful thread. Pretty much what I had hoped!

"What I am trying to do is to let people know there's only one way to heaven through Jesus Christ," said the Rev. Cline Franklin, pastor of Hilltop Baptist Church. "There's no need for help. God sent his son, Jesus Christ. We're all priests if we're saved. I don't need to go to anybody else to pray."
I decline to comment on the thread's subject. Rather I wish to focus on the misintended consequence of one statement from the Hilltop Baptist Church pastor. If Cline Franklin is correct that we are all priests, then why is Cline Franklin a pastor (priest) since there is no need for his services? Maybe someone should ask him.

People who aren't Catholic find no need to understand. Why would they? They're not Catholic! People who aren't Catholic American find no need to understand. Why would they? They're not Catholic American!
Next time you see someone on this board criticize Al Qaeda, the French, etc...make sure you tell them that those people shouldn't be expected to learn about Americans since they aren't American themselves.
As I see it, people who choose not to learn about other faiths, yet presume to criticize them, represent a sad combination of arrogance and ignorance. It's shameful behavior.

How widespread are these beleifs? If at all?? I have heard it all my life from fundies when they think everyone in hte room will agree with them.
It isn't common to see or hear it in public.

OK, since you wouldn't give me a source on the "Babylonian Brotherhood" I looked it up myself on the internet. The very questionable "sources" I found seem to describe a secret race of men/extraterestrials who interbred with reptiles sometime after the great flood and who now have a secret organization controlling the world.LOL. Try a book on dispensation. It'll tell the history of all the Churches from their beginning, and covers prophecy from beginning to end from the different prophets point of vision. Sheesh! I'm Baptist, and the Baptist Churches came from a man who lived in the wilderness and ate locusts! Let's be fair, here!
The Internet is not always an all knowing source, you know? I'm sure they have the Pope as the Antichrist, too.
I suppose the Babylonian Brotherhood would be quite weird in the world today. LOL. They were even weird back then! It must be a real liberal strong hold by now!

"Having attended literally thousands of Catholic Masses, I have never heard a priest make a similar claim."
Yea, so what is the point of your post to me? My experiences do not require your belief or acceptance. If you believe me to be lying why not just come out and say it. For there are very few conclusions that can be construed from your post to me. Foremost in my mind is that you are calling me a liar.
I too have attended numerous masses, since part of my family is Catholic by marriage [forced conversion], and haven't heard it again either. So what does that mean? IMO that such a position is only held by a minority or if it is more widely held then it is not vocalized often.
I've also attended thousands of Baptist church services and never heard a word uttered about members of other religious sects going to hell simply because they weren't Baptist. As a matter of fact the Baptist churches that I have regularly attended over the span of my life the preacher seemed to always make the point that he didn't care what religion or sect you were from as long as you had accepted Jesus Christ as your Saviour. It seemed that their number priority always was to help save eternal souls.
To: Shortwave
I once was told that I was going to hell because I was given a copy of an NIV bible and it wasn't the King James version. I explained that my grandmother had given it to me many years ago but it made no difference. Scary stuff
You just have to wonder what Jesus would think about that...Especially when you consider that the King James Version was written by Sir Francis Bacon in 1611. It was written to please King James, not Jesus.

Don't have to read; memorized it --- York Rite, Knight Templar.
I am a Jew turned Christian --- and found out about Christ in no small part because I had mason friends at work (was the wife who pushed me over the edge, though).
Don't believe any of the crud you read; it's all horsehockey. The core of masory is the Holy Bible -- the "great light in masonry" and the inestimable gift of God to man.
To: Rutles4Ever
That's a funny way of putting it. GOod one.
