Some of us Christ-followers come across as “anti-Catholic” because so many Roman Catholics think that they’re the only ones who are fully saved, and that all others are missing out on the fullness of faith in Christ.
Such denominational arrogance is, naturally, upsetting.
How do you feel when Mormons or Muslims say that your faith is a lie? That’s how I feel when Roman Catholics tell me that faith in Christ is insufficient, that I must be a member of their club to be fully saved.
Roman Catholics who promote Christ — I love ‘em. Roman Catholics who damn me for exalting Christ above all — they cause me to bristle.
Name names.
I'll wait here.
Why would anyone belong to ANY faith unless they believed it was the true one? Seems to me the thing that annoys foliks is that Catholics express what everyone else thinks.
If a Protestant believes, for example, that another religion is a valid one, why wouldn`t he belong to that religion?
Are all Christ-centered religions equally valid? If so, is it merely a matter of shopping for the one that feels right, or which worships in a way that is comfortable to the believer?
I`m asking because this perplexes me. If one DOESN`T believe his particular faith is THE one, why would he belong to that church?
Some of your aren't Christ-followers, but rather are just stuck on your own personal interptretation of Scripture.
Well said, Theo.
