    Why are Mormons generally disliked by society?

    A lot of people are against the religion, and honestly I don't really know why. For as much as I've looked into it, it is still a religion like any other, still Christian even, and doesn't seem to raise a red flag for me. My boyfriend of two years is Mormon and I am a Protestant Christian...

    Catholics Becoming Protestant

    "One out of every 10 Americans is an ex-Catholic. If they were a separate denomination, they would be the third-largest denomination in the United States, after Catholics and Baptists. One of three people who were raised Catholic no longer identifies as Catholic." At least half of those leaving...

    Hey All!

    I would like to preface this by saying I do not question the unquestionable truth of God and His glory and of Jesus. Before this week however, I didn't even know what the Nicene Creed was but upon reading it of course I believe its every word. I do harbor certain doubts and questions sadly. I...

    500 years of protesting what?

    Since there is at least some focus this month on the reformation, the protestant reformation and how wide the GAP is between protestant doctrine and Catholicism - lets work out some of the details. While Luther may have "started" with 95 objections to selling indulgences.. that is not the sum...

    work matters...

    OBJECTOR: The other day I was reading the book of Galatians, and it struck me how much emphasis Paul places on faith as the means of salvation. Then I asked myself how Catholics can believe in justification by works. If the Catholic Church really believes the Bible, as it claims, how can it...

    How Revelations Foretells the existence of the RCC and the Protestant Church in Revelations 12:1-6

    I have a theory that both Churches, RCC and Protestant types, were foretold in the Bible. Here's why: (This is NRSV) Revelations 12 A great portent appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. 2 She was pregnant and...

    A Protestant Who Reads the New American Bible

    I am not sure where exactly this thread belongs, but here goes. I decided to read Ephesians and seeing that I got a handful of new Bibles from the thrift store, I pulled out the 'New American Bible: St. Joseph Personal Size Edition' I got. I really enjoyed how the Scripture was portrayed in...

    A Protestant just told me Pope Francis is a "heretic"

    I was having a conversation with this girl who's into reformed theology, then she began to disparage this gentleman, questioning his faith in Jesus. I then asked her what she thought of Pope Francis' comments on the matter (who am I to judge?) and this was her response:

    Looking for a church in Edmonton, CANADA

    Hello! I live and work in Edmonton, and looking for a church here. I would like to attend a church that is non-charismatic, very conservative, Protestant/Anabaptist, that believes in Sola Scriptura, is a Cessationist, believes the Bible is infallible, and accepts head-covering as a part of the...

    Interconfessional wedding: Attending = supporting?

    Hi. I'm engaged to be married and am in the midst of trying to plan our wedding with my fiancée. She is feeling extremely anxious and self-conscious especially about inviting guests. A bit of background: We are both Catholic converts with families that are exclusively Protestant, hers in...

    Michael Glatze: Evangelical Christianity, Dispensationalism and the Rapture are heresies

    In case you haven't seen or heard of the movie I Am Michael starring James Franco, Michael Glatze was a gay activist who, after a health scare, turned to God, gradually became anti-gay, became a pastor and married a woman. Now it seems he has renounced AND denounced all forms of protestant...

    An ex-pastor's opinion on evangelical Christianity and the Rapture

    I found the following comment on Facebook. It's from a former protestant pastor who apparently had a movie made about his life. What do you guys think?

    Protestant America has forgotten where it came from

    Here is a very long, but revealing video that shows what Protestantism is and where it came from. This video quotes such pillars of faith like Dwight L.Moody, Charles Spurgeon, and many others to show what humanity came out of during the dark ages, which we are running back into. This is a non...

    Catholicism questions from a Protestant

    1. I have seen a lot of things saying a person needs Catholic godparents to be baptised, what if someone doesn't know any Catholics? Or doesn't have any who are around enough / close enough to them to act as godparents? 2. Where is the apocrypha (Books like Maccabees, Tobit, etc.) from and why...

    Protestant Denominational Differences (I want to hear from YOU!)

    Hello everyone, This is something that has been weighing quite heavily on me of late. I was brought up in the Baptist Church, and have identified as such for my entire time here on Earth. Over the years, I have done modest amounts of research into the other denominations. This delving has been...

    Protestants: Why is Apostolic Succession unimportant to you?

    I am looking into Christianity, and in doing so I find it difficult to fathom how someone could be a Christian without being a member of a Church that can trace its faith, teachings, and authority back to the Apostles (like the Orthodox Church or Catholic Church). These Churches to me seem to...

    Interpreting Ephesians 2:8: what is grace? what is faith?

    I am new here, looking to decide on a denomination. Ephesians 2:8 is one of the verses that Christians are the most conflicted on from my point of view, so I thought I'd break down the arguments for each interpretation. I'm hoping someone can help me sort it all out: "For by grace are you...
