    I have a problem

    Ah sorry maybe you misunderstood my op. I almost believed some of the things they have said, but of course, I asked God for help, checked the bible and read up on Catholic defense. I don't just blindly believe anything that anyone says. You see, I've never really thought about converting to...

    I have a problem

    I understand what you people are saying. Whenever I did attend, it was passively and I didn't take communion. I don't want to go, but the last time I refused, my dad got mad at me. Okay maybe it's the tone of my voice that made him mad. I don't really know what happened. In the end he said...

    I have a problem

    Brother, I'm already a bit unwilling to go. Thanks for your insight on this. I understand. I'm almost 20. I know why you're asking, but understand that I do not come from a Western background :P Ignore the Australian flag there. It's not where I was raised.

    I have a problem

    These are probably the only reasons why I will agree to go: 1. The "not considering Catholics as Christians" thing aside, they do teach some good things that are essential to being a good Christian. 2. I've made some friends, who accept me as I am. They are really nice people. Well my...

    I have a problem

    Not recommending me to do so is too late :sorry: Before I started attending Mass, I actually went to my dad's church. I'm just glad that God led me back (through them haha). Well the unstable faith is a thing of the past (I hope) Yes I do know we are the first Christians :) Another thing I...

    I have a problem

    I just thought I would share this, because I've seen the other thread about going to a Lutheran service. My dad is a Protestant. He didn't practice it much before, but he is now going to church everyday and attending bible study classes. He wants me to go his church (and I did before). I...

    Salvation

    I think I kind of get it now. I know it's difficult to describe it in a sentence or two. Thanks!

    Salvation

    so faith plus works are necessary for salvation?...but these works are inspired by the grace of God?

    Salvation

    I had to read your long post lots of times :D That helped me a lot! God bless! So, we are already saved yet that salvation can be taken away? I agree.

    Salvation

    First set of replies. Thanks for the bible references! I think what the person is trying to lure me into thinking is that a Christian is saved so long as you have faith. You don't have to do anything. However, from what I know, "....The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through...

    Salvation

    Thanks for the responses! I'll take time to read them. In the meantime, I just thought you'd like to know why I made this thread. Well a Protestant asked me how sure I am that I will go to heaven. He said that as a Christian, I should be 100% certain because of Eph 2. We are saved and we are...

    Salvation

    Hi! I'd like to fully understand the Catholic view on salvation (Eph 2:4-8). Someone please enlighten me? Can one have an infallible certainty that one can go to heaven? I'll ask questions if I feel that an explanation confuses me.

    Voting

    I don't feel like voting when I don't know who to vote for. Of course, I'm not ditching elections forever. Maybe I need some time to get used to the Australian system and parties first. I'll vote in every election after this. Thanks for welcoming me! :) Actually, I was born here but I grew up...
