Bible Question (short): catholic church.......first church? |
Question (full): I was watching the catholic network here in alabama. There was a former baptist lady on there who converted to what she called "Jesus's true and only church". She said the Holy Spirit directed her to go back home where she belonged. She said all her life she was taught the catholic church was anti-christ and now she feels she has converted to the "first and only church of God".They are insinuating that protestants are being fooled to believe they are misled and not in the right church and that the faith the Bible talks about is "the catholic faith". I was raised catholic and was a miserable person until I found that Christ had risen just for me. Now, she has gone back to her roots as she called it. Saying that all the sacraments should be followed,and that mary is the mother of God.....now who is being misled. It just bothers me that they think they are the first and only true church,. any comments? I was very bothered by them saying that the catholic church is the one handed down by the apostles and that is the faith as christians we should partake of. She mentioned reading a boat load of history on the church and finding out the faith of all the saints like st. patrick and others and after reading of their journey decided she should join them..........any comments would be appreciated. sharon |
