Subject: difference Christian and catholic |
Bible Note: 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 |
