If you Love God Truly, catholicism is the snake in the Garden of Eden that would deny your heart Unto The Father. | |

Stop that. I follow no religion but have always had a sense of a god or higher self or light within. I've been reading and enjoying the Catholic posts. I don't know much about their beliefs but they seem to teach a "way" to bring people into good relationship with God and to help us be good. I don't understand why Christians fight with each other over esoteric concepts in your ancient books. You mine your Bible for colorful insults to hurl at one another. The fun of religion for you folks seems to be to be the minority who goes to heaven while the rest of us cry and burn and really wish we'd listened to your boring sadistic fantasies about cracking the code and figuring out who to hate to please your monster-god. The Catholicism I see presented here seems to have as its goal the nurturing of the soul so it and we can bear our humanity and our coarse earthly lives without rejecting our finer nature. They have this in common with sufis. Protestants probably also have a method of self development. I just don't hear you talk about it--too excited about cracking the code to prove who is a "mystery babylon" or "the oaken elves right hoof" or what have you. |

There are about 50 key variances with Christianity's generally accepted precepts; but this thread is not about "religion". I was Delivered from catholicism By God The Father and never formally "joined" another church or denomination. What I KNOW about Relationship With God I found Witnessed In Scripture after 19yrs of Born-Again Life. catholicism is a subtle dysfunction, that once accepted, focuses the believer upon the entity of "church" rather than towards Relationship With God.... That you cannot understand the difference between Relationship With God and a life directed within quasi-religious precepts that do not lead to Relationship With God is evident. I rarely have witnessed about catholicism and my experiences as a catholic here. The catholic church is a dead-end street if you would "seek to enter in at the Narrow Gate" as Jesus Witnesses. Mostly my witness proclaims that Jesus IS The Way Unto The Father and how a Believing, Faithful Christian can find Relationship With God The Father. Not much witness about this in the Laodicean age Christian church. |
