Greetings, Jesusman; Catholicism is not the only Christian denomination that has struggled with legalisms and works-righteousness. There are active threads in the forum right now where non-Catholics are explaining the rigid rules of worship and the dire consequences of not following them. I'm not Catholic, nor do I play one on TV. But I know Catholics who live their faith and are better witnesses to Jesus than many Protestants I know. They are members of the same body of Christ that faithful Protestants belong to. There is much to question in Catholic theology and in the behavior of the organization known as the Catholic Church. The same can be said of any Christian denomination. But I think we should exercise some care about what we presume to say about Catholics. Probably we should leave the judging of whether Catholics deserve the name "Christian" up to the one judge who matters. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |

Hello, There maybe sincere Catholics who are truly saved. I am not doubting that possibility. However, I do doubt the Catholic Doctrine. Their doctrine is full of biblical inaccuracies, herecies, falsehoods, and much more. Everytime the Catholic church claims to have never changed, they are telling a bold-faced lie. While there is a possiblity that there are sincere Catholics who are also truly saved, I question the likelyhood of that possibility due to the enormous amount of falsehoods that the Catholic Church claims, teaches, and belives. Now, am I saying that my own faith is perfect and true? No, not in the least. I realize that my own faith and denomination have serious falsehoods of their own. However, that does not deter me from doing my Christian duty as a Pastor to point out that which goes contrary to Scripture, and to reveal what the Scriptures truly say. Jesusman |

Hi, Jesusman; I think the Counselor speaks to Catholics and helps them to separate the wheat from the chaff. At the end of the day, we worship the same God and place our faith in the same Jesus. I don't in any way condone putting clerics, saints, Mary, ans works in the way. But most Catholics I know understand that Jesus - not Mary, not the canonized saints, not the Pope, not the priests - is at the center. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
