Anyone who claims to be a Christian has the Bible as the authority and guide and it is full of "concrete" rules on all the issues that matter to a Christian if he only seeks to know them by the leading and guiding of the Holy Spirit.

GACK!

If that were true there would be full unity against Abortion , Gay marriage, contraception, etc....

You know full well that those who claim Bible alone differ on these issues,dear Sister.

We have people in the Catholic faith who do it their own way too, but at least they can be shown a long history of clear teaching against these things along with clear dogma to show them they are in error

Look, I am not trying to be argumentative nor am I trying to cause anger or strife.

Nor am I- You're one of the easiest protestant I know to converse with even though we disagree often

I have the Holy Spirit within me because He has changed me completely in ways I could not if I wanted to or would not if I could.

I believe the same thing and believe that Christ led me out of being protestant to become Catholic again

I have decided for this to be my last post on this thread, so if you want to say anything further to me please freepmail me or start another thread with topic of dogma

I wish you a Blessed day!

GACK!! yourself.

You can't even begin to pretend that Catholics are in full unity on those issues.

Just look at Catholic's voting patterns.

The official position of the RCC is clear on those issues, just as other church's official positions are, HOWEVER, get down to the laity, and it's a whole nother ball of wax.

For one thing, Evangelical Christians as a block vote far more conservatively on those issues than Catholics as a block.

As do Catholics and even the priests.

Hey, daniel, Yo! We need your stats.....

Christians don't need *church policy*. They have the Bible which outdates any church to give them clear teaching on abortion(murder), gay *marriage* and a whole host of other moral issues. There's simply not a lot of ways of interpreting *Thous shalt not murder* and *Thou shalt not commit adultery* and *Thous shalt not steal*.

Nobody needs a church to tell them that when they have the Word of God.
