Mike Crumbie has a program that runs early on Saturday mornings. He has a heavy southern accent and big time ‘Amens’ :-)!
reference to read later
We prefer to call our accents “charming,” rather than “heavy”!
I didn’t read the whole interview yet, but I did get that evangelization starts with being joyous in your faith. Smart man.
Also, this thread should soon draw the usual suspects. I can hear it now, he wasn’t really saved in the first place :-)
And our church is full of former Catholics. Guess it flows both ways.
Lol .... he only thought it in his heart ;-)
Who taught this guy that the church is a sacred building??? The Holy Spirit??? Or Something else???
Act 14:27 And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.
The church is not a building...It is not an organization...It is not a pope or a magisterium...
The 'church' is people...Just regular people gathering together...Anywhere...Any other teaching is heresy...
This guy would have been far better off sticking with what God tryed to teach him in the scripture...
Anything but the scripture...
You should really try the Scripture. Even though it is a Catholic book, I think it might do you some good. It might even cause you to wonder what the bishops, presbyters, and deacons it mentions were all about.
Why’d you post a two-year-old article, NYer?
Yes it does flow both ways. Occasionally a Protestant conversion story is posted here and they tend to be vehemently anti-Catholic in tone. I attribute that to their losing the belief in the Real Presence.
Another common reason Catholics leave the church is the divorce/re-marriage issue. The Catholic position on this is very clear. Protestant Churches don’t seem to have a problem with this. That should cause you some concern that the clear message of the gospel is being compromised in order to attract new members.
Shame on you NYer ! In the future, please check with Alex before you post an article :-)
*snert*
With so many coming into the Church, it sure looks like those former Protestant ministers make some of the best Catholics.
Sure, you bet...OK...Show us all in YOUR scripture where the 'church' is an architectural showpiece...Where the chuch Jesus founded is full of exceedingly valuable paintings, stained glass, curtains of valuable cloth, valuable metals and jewels, unsurpassed beauty, rituals and chants...
C'mon, there's the challange...
Don't try to snooker anyone with the OT synagogues and temples...We're talking the New Testament church...The body of Jesus Christ...Show us some scripture that cantradicts the ones I posted...
Congratulations, it’s not often one of the Catholic haters gets in on the first 10 posts. It usually takes at least 15 posts. But please be sure to ping ETH, Eckelberg, and all the others as they seem to be slacking.
You seem to be under the mistaken impression that Catholics believe the Church is a building.
Where the chuch Jesus founded is full of exceedingly valuable paintings, stained glass, curtains of valuable cloth, valuable metals and jewels, unsurpassed beauty, rituals and chants...
So, you think that Jesus founded a Church that prohibits the enjoyment of the beauty of God's creation? Please show me that in Scripture.
Show us some scripture that cantradicts the ones I posted...
It is strange that you believe Scripture can contradict itself.
What a wonderful story! His experience is similar to my own. One by one, the rebel strongholds fall.
Night cometh. God gathers His flock to the fold as the wolves circle for the kill. But in His hand, the Shepherd holds not a crook, but a sword...
The Knights of Columbus have the swords :-).
