Mormons; explain to me why you will not be Catholic.

[Cain Spencer]

generally what is picking isn't the same as a rule violation

So I was being a bully was I? What was so abusive in my question?

 

[IreneAdler]

But some people are quick to judge others for the questions they ask.

I've been called a Judaizer recently. I'm sensitive to people's hidden agenda right now.

 

[Cain Spencer]

and again, christianity isn't something you're born into like Judaism (and YES you can convert as an adult after schooling)

But the baby still has no choice. That is the point.

I kinda saw it as picking too so don't feel like you're perspective is unusual.

FWIW, I've seen other threads started by the OP, that begin "Protestants . . ." and proceed to ask that what they believe about something. I don't think that he is singling out just one group. And he did edit the OP in what I assume was an effort to make the thread more respectful. Maybe it would be best to discuss the topic, instead of discussing how people pick on one another. Maybe we will all learn something. It is a debate and discussion forum, so there will be differences in opinions and beliefs.

Nevertheless, in my grandmother's time, most children grew up in the religion of their parents and chose similar if not identical places of worship.

I think it's habit to pick on those who are ostracised by the main stream, by the main stream. Also see my other response.

and ate the same food, dressed the same... blah-z-blah. They weren't born into a covenant. It's not the same.

Could be, but I'm gun shy, even when it's not about me. Maybe I should just leave as obviously Im the cause of derailing.

I was called a feminazi on these forums. I don't believe that being labeled is the same as asking questions. I mean, I don't even consider myself a feminist!

I've also been called a pedafile because I am Catholic, it seems all of us on this thread have been victims lately.

I had no hidden agenda.

 

[magisterfaust]

Because I know that God is too great to have an apostasy. I know that the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are one God and not three unique Gods. I know that I will not become a God after death and I will not be reunited with a wife after death and continue to have spirit children with her in the spirit world.




Becuase the subject is on mormons.



I know many of them and do talk to them. Why do you ask?



That's fine, please open up and tell all.

If I told then I would probably be deleted. So I'll keep my cards closed for now.

Never heard that term before.

Actually, it was a long time ago that I was called a feminazi. I think we should try our best to be respectful of one another. I can disagree without resorting to name-calling.

Do you have something constructive to say?

 

[Rescued One]

Neither had I!

 

[magisterfaust]

Do you have something constructive to say?

No. Not really.. Do you??

Neither had I!

Has someone resorted to name calling as they have nothing very constructive to say?

 

[Cain Spencer]

No. Not really.. Do you??

Are you a christian?

Please educate us, then. What is the RCC doctrine on the eternal fate of unbaptized infants? Please be specific and thorough. Thanks.

Well rather than interpret their CCC, the language it uses is plain enough.

“1261 As regards children who have died without Baptism, the Church can only entrust them to the mercy of God, as she does in her funeral rites for them. Indeed, the great mercy of God who desires that all men should be saved, and Jesus' tenderness toward children which caused him to say: "Let the children come to me, do not hinder them,"64 allow us to hope that there is a way of salvation for children who have died without Baptism. All the more urgent is the Church's call not to prevent little children coming to Christ through the gift of holy Baptism.”

1283 With respect to children who have died without Baptism, the liturgy of the Church invites us to trust in God's mercy and to pray for their salvation.”

 

[magisterfaust]

Are you a christian?

Oh!! Am I a Christian? Now that would be telling?

I is a seeker of the truth!!

Wow! This thread is getting interestinger and interestinger all the time. It is nice to see a variety of new posters here, although it remains with very little Mormon input, which is to be pitied because, after all, the OP was addressed to Mormons.

BTW, I entirely understand and agree with IreneAdler concerning infant baptism. Thanks, Irene.
