Here again we see that false distinction between Catholic and Christian.

***Here again we see that false distinction between Catholic and Christian.***

If you can hang out your shingle, come up with another interpretation of the Gospel, and wow them in the tent, then, by golly, you’re a Christian preacher and as long as the collection plate is full, you’re fully justified and therefore as fully qualified as, say, Joel Osteen or Robert Schuller.

Some have said that some Catholics are Christians but others aren’t. Leaves them a little leeway but they kind of give themselves away.

Petronski, do you really believe that EVERY Catholic is a Christian just because they attend church? I find it hard to believe that you don’t know the difference. All Catholics are not Christians just as all Christians are not Catholics. The Body of Christ is made up of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, those who have put their faith and trust in Him and are committed to following HIS way. I know plenty of people in all denominations who don’t follow Him. They go to church because they always did, their parents did, they need a social life, or whatever. Many have no relationship at all with Jesus Christ. And that’s what is needed.
