How Many?

[Monk Brendan]

How many Eastern Catholics are a part of these fora?

To be exact, How many Christians are there on these fora that follow the Eastern Christian ideals, be they Byzantine, Maronite, etc. but are in communion with Rome?

 

[Monk Brendan]

How many Eastern Catholics are a part of these fora?

And for that matter, how many people on these fora have even heard of EASTERN Catholics?

 

[Paidiske]

I've heard of Eastern Catholics. I don't think there are many on CF, though.

In everyday life I find few Christians.

Your definition of Christian must be seriously different from mine. But I am thinking of those that fellowship with and worship the Father, the Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Such a person would not necessarily speak in tongues; or pass miracles; or even heal people, but is living a sold out life to Christ, following Matthew 25.

And who appointed YOU to decide who is a TRUE Christian?

I believe the congregations of Christianity are seven...

1. Messianic
2. Oriental Orthodox
3. Eastern Orthodox
4. Catholic
5. Protestant
6. Wesleyan / Pentecostal
7. Charismatic / Independent/ Word of Faith

I am saying I find few of any congregation these days.

And....

13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. - Matthew 7

...
And who appointed YOU to decide who is a TRUE Christian?

You did, by asking this question.

.... How many Christians are there on these fora ...

which requires the reader to evaluate people.

Perhaps you meant forum participants, or participants in the Christian forums.

 

[Paidiske]

I think you missed the point, Greg, which was the rest of that question; how many people here are Eastern Catholic?

 

[Greg J.]

I didn't miss the point. I was responding to Monk Brendan's challenge (which I quoted) which was about something other than the main point of his OP. I have the feeling I should stop posting in this thread, though. I can't address his main point, so what's the point?
