Subject: What is so wrong with Catholics |
Bible Note: The Trouble With Those/Us People They do not have a good working knowledge of Scripture. Much tradition and ritual has crept into their worship. For many of them their religion doesn't appear to ever have been internalized. Religion to them is to speak Christian jargon, say the right things, attend services regulary to keep up appearances, and many other such things. I have met many of them whose relgion has made little if any difference in the way they live. Many of them believe their church is the only one that has the truth, that they are the only ones who are going to heaven. They idolize one or more leaders whose every word they blindly accept. Also, on the one hand they believe that if you die with one unconfessed sin on your soul you are bound for hell. On the other hand they believe that if you just say the right words and ask for forgiveness, don't worry about it. As a result they have a casual attitude toward sin in their lives. Am I talking about Catholics? No, I am not! These are merely my observations of many fundamentalists and pentecostals I have personally come to know. Don't tell me otherwise; I've seen it in Protestant churches -- liberal and conservative -- all my life. I myself am a member of a conservative Protestant church. |
