Protestant like Catholic does not mean Christian...
I suspect there never has been a born again Christian who has converted to the Catholic religion...
This is why Protestantism led to Utilitarianism, Socialism, Hedonism, Hegelianism, Marxism, and Communism.
Everyone had his opinion. Some had more popular opinions than others. And those are the opinions that the people followed over the edge of the cliff.
Wow, blaming Protestants who did not agree with one-party rule of faith for communism now
Catholisism = marxism. Read your history, who_would_ who ever you are...
What it really comes down to is: Does one believe that you can be saved only “by Grace through faith” (God providing it all, and yourself doing nothing, but receiving the Gift) or do you believe that one can be saved by their own works (and if you claim: a combination of Grace and works, then you don’t really believe in Grace).
I don’t care what Church a person goes to, as long as they believe in Jesus the way He told us to, not “Church Fathers (protestant or catholic)”.

Should we not just get back to the basics of the Gospel (in all Churches)??
Somehow not having everyone submit to a central authority is communism?
I think you missed biblical reference.

I saw that. I just don’t see the Catholic reference, only Christian.
I think this same piece was posted last week from another website. Same author, same book, same topic just a different site.
Here is the thread. It’s been done already.

It’s like he’s saying that Islam is really a kind of Catholicism. [**mind boggles**]
Not to mention this thread is a retread from last week:

Perhaps you can all schedule your articles. This is a retread from last week and an advertisement to boot:

Just makes others think you are spamming.
I think after folks went to a Devin Rose blog to rebut his claims, he probably does not appreciate the exposure now.
“Lots of Popes opposed socialism...’
Hitler too!
But he WAS a (national) socialist, therefore reflecting poorly on his credibility on this issue!
>>Why are people being pinged to a discussion that they aren’t even a part of? For their own edification and understanding to the poster’s point? Color me skeptical. Protestants jump on Catholics as if they were playing knockout king.<<
Last I checked this is a discussion “forum.” Which if we want one on one discussions the PM is the tool.
Mary had a small roll? I am sure that your mother feels the same way about giving birth and raising you.
Try that next Mothers Day. “Hey Mom, thanks for that SMALL ROLL of giving birth to me and then raising me to adulthood. Too bad you couldn’t spend more trouble on me”
I am only kidding. I just thought it was funny how Jesus’s mother had a small roll.
‘Tell me again, which Saint do I pray to to eliminate the smells from farts?’
St. Jude. The Patron Saint of Lost Causes.
‘I suspect there never has been a born again Christian who has converted to the Catholic religion...’
I suspect that you are quite misinformed. As a matter of fact I know of more than one Born Again Christian that has converted to Roman Catholicism.
I also know of some Catholics that have become Born Again Christians and even some that have become Jehovas Witnesses and a couple that became Mormon.
Let’s avoid making absurd statements.
