So it bothers/offends you that some Catholics actually believe they are part of Christ’s true Church and dare suggest it to non-Catholics. If you didn’t believe you belonged to His true Church how long would you stay in it? Last I checked no one on this thread has claimed that non-Catholics faith is guided by satan himself. Give me a break. I am sorry if you are injured by my beliefs but if we are trying to save each other’s souls I am only asking for some christian charity among His brothers and sisters.
I apologize that looked right past the Catholic / Non-Catholic issue because this simple point pales in comparison with all of the petty bickering.
Do you believe God is just?
Do you believe He can look into our hearts?
Do you believe He will judge us according to His will?
Do you believe there will be eternal consequences according to how He judges us?
No stick in anyone’s eye, a beam perhaps but not a stick. I’ll work on the beam in my eye if you can take care of your sliver... deal?
Nope, not in the least. That is not what bothers me at all.
You clearly missed the point of what I was saying.
What bothers me is the FRoman Catholics on this forum who try to muzzle dissenting opinion with charges of *catholic bashing* by whining to the management to have them silenced, and then turn around and engage in the very behavior they will not tolerate themselves from other when they suppose it's directed at them.
It's called "hypocrisy".
If you didn’t believe you belonged to His true Church how long would you stay in it?
Not long, which is why I left the Catholic church, because I recognized that no one church is the one true church, that the true church, the true body of Christ, is an organism, not an organization. It's comprised of those who truly believe in their heart, and not those who have been water baptized into some religious organization.
And *Yes* to all the first four questions.
I know God has work on me to do, all too well,, but neither can I left pass what I see as misrepresentations of God or the truth of what is found in His word.
