And you call ME uneducated. You may think the Pope and the Catholic church is heretical, well of course you do, just like every sect and denomination thinks THEY are special and real and true. But to say the Catholic Church isn't Christian just defies logic, rationality, EVERYTHING. I suppose the Orthodox churches aren't Christian either? Only your little band of special snowflakes are REAL Christians hey? Arrogance. |

My sister was saying just the same thing the other night (except she was referring to people who don't follow the Old Testament literally): she doesn't actually consider them Christian. Even I was surprised to hear her say that.
For me, it's one thing to say that someone else has a wrong interpretation of Christianity; quite another to deny them the label altogether. Very sectarian. I guess it's just a good thing that these conflicts are (mostly) no longer militarised.

She literally believes the Old Testament? Have you asked her why she hasn't murdered the neighbours for gardening on the Sabath?

LOL. Of course like anyone she's rather selective with what she decides ought to be taken "literally", though my father would mount the argument that these prescribed "punishments" are only to be taken by the (theocratic) justice system, not the individual. Which gets him off the hook in a way, but rather more worryingly means that if such a government ever came into power, he would support it.
Kind of puts the Taliban into perspective, doesn't it?

It does David. It is excellent though that having been brought up in a family where such beliefs are so strong, that you have been able to liberate yourself from it.

Catholicism is a cult, it's just a very large cult, it's a blending of Judaism, Christianity and paganism. You really aren't quite as smart as you think you Wokko, everyone knows the snowflakes no longer exist, and calling yourself a Christian doesn't mean you are one, just like sleeping in the carport doesn't make you are car.
Anyone who says he's a Christian and doesn't obey the scripture, by the scriptures definition, isn't a Christian. You can't follow this part or that part, you have to take all or nothing. Many in this thread keep harping back to Old Testament references for justification as to why we are wrong or why we aren't following scripture properly, you have no understanding of the scripture unless God has given your mind understanding.
I challenge any of you in here, to take a risk, and sincerely as God to reveal himself to you by his word, and then read the bible. Ask him to open your eyes to the truth, and prove to you he exists, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
