Misconceptions about Protestants

[boswd]

Well here's another misconception about Pr's. What are we up to now, about 49?



Still looking for where Baptists teach Jesus ate His young, or whatever it is you object to that they say about HIM.

would you send your child to a Catholic Vacation Bible School?

 

[sunlover1]

I can say that the Baptists almost always practice a valid form of Baptism and the Mormons do not. But this is based upon an objective standard and there is still a wide chasm between Baptist-ism and orthodoxy, just as there is between Mormonism and orthodoxy or Pentecostalism and orthodoxy. Some may be closer to orthodoxy than others but how much does it really matter?

Ask God, He's right there with you, isn't He?

The Church is bigger than a person or even a group of people, this is especially true if these people are not teaching effectively what the Church teaches or even teaching something contrary to what the Church teaches.

Tis not your fault bro. Thou art forgiven

But, they come across as being so nice.

no.

 

[boswd]

no.

I heard they have Frog catching after morning Mass

 

[razeontherock]

You say I don't believe in "the anointing" (in another thread) and then you say I don't really believe in the Holy Ghost (in this thread). So if I type "anointing" and "word-of-faith" or "pentecostal" into YouTube, I get videos of Benny Hinn and Kenneth Hagin (the founder of "Word of Faith"). Is this not representative?

Also, I'm pretty sure what Pentecostals calls "speaking in tongues" is a pretty important part of their religion, isn't it?

This is SOOO rich!

Here you are, participating in a thread about misconceptions about Pr's, and you're revealing the extent of your knowledge is a youtube search

Bless you little child - and please provide material for TV and stand up comedians

They even donate special wheel chairs and crutches for the poor critters

 

[sunlover1]

ohh that's right because Protestant's never maimed, burned, hunged, tortured or killed who they considered heretics, now did they? Nooo

but yet we never see you fly off the handle at Baptist, who let's see not all that long ago hung up blacks, used the bible to distort the views on slavery and racial issues, but then head off to Church and sing his Glory, come back and beat them up some blacks.

Where is your oversized bolded text with them?

what a joke!!!!

and what the other poster write before that? It seems to be a tit for tat,a "let me insult you but how dare you insult me back."

but I guess that is SOP around here though.

So guess you were saving up while in detention

what exactly can't you stomach

i mean what part of 'For man has in his heart a law inscribed by God.... " can't you stomach?

Removing ... what I've removed, I can turn your post into a legitimate question, so I'll give a legitimate answer.

What is here, is sufficient; but still inferior to Scripture. Why not rely on Scripture? To drone on, for paragraphs, pages, and books, saying nothing that adds any value -

is what I can't stomach.


Many words come to mind:

stuffed shirt, pomposity, putting on airs, puffed up, deceitfulness

You get the idea. Not once have I found anything good to come of that.

 

[PilgrimToChrist]

Ok, so here's another misconception RC's have about Pr's:

that we're about to suddenly accept RC terminology! I woulda never thought I'd actually see that one in print either

Why not use the term heresy? Because it refers to Faithful and devout believers that were TORTURED, MAIMED and KILLED by YOUR Church.

I hope that's clear enough for you? Please, let's not go there again, ok? Inserting boiling lead into a person's veins never had ANY power to purge from sin. I see no other reason to use the word heresy other than to conjure up such heinous images.

Because that is the word the Bible uses? αἵρεσις αἱρετικός

Also, what about the faithful and devout Catholic believers that were tortured, maimed and killed by the Protestants? What about the Protestants who were tortured, maimed and killed by other Protestants?

Protestants killing Protestants for heresy.

You a funny girl. Baptists teach He became a werewolf on the full moon? If you could for a minute ditch the schismatic things you've been taught and recognize the truth of the matter, you'd see ... wait, that's the point of this whole thread, isn't it?

I'm just saying that they teach different things than we do. Wouldn't you agree?

Don't look now but you just agreed with a Pr. (Then again my kids were homeschooled, and I do everything in my own business)

Someone on here asked what traditional Catholicism was and I said that traditional Catholicism is to modernist Catholicism as Fundamentalism is to Evangelicalism. Now certainly both Fundamentalists and Traditionalists have certain wackjob wingnuts in their ranks (e.g. those who are always looking for a conspiracy theory) that give them a bad rap but in general they're good people who just happen to take the faith they received very seriously. I can see more in common with (rational, non-crazy) Fundamentalists than with liberals.

So yes, we homeschool for the same reasons. There is also a Montessori school in my area that many of the SSPX kids attend. We might move that direction in a few years. There is a very active homeschooling group because most of parish is made up of young and rapidly growing families (yes, we take the "no contraception" thing seriously ) who homeschool.

My pastor mentioned the author Susie Lloyd, who has a couple of humor books on homeschooling and such. One is called "Please Don't Drink the Holy Water: Homeschool Days, Rosary Nights, and Other Near Occasions of Sin. The Amazon preview had a couple cute stories. It would probably be even cuter if I was a mother.

 

[razeontherock]

ohh that's right because Protestant's never maimed, burned, hunged, tortured or killed who they considered heretics, now did they?

They followed suit. They were wrong, but it was war. And actually I tell Pr's using the word "heresy" the same exact thing! It's simply unnecessary in our times. There are ample other ways of referring to error, w/o connecting it to such truly dark ages.

Another pet peeve just born yesterday is when I saw a post embed a time line utilizing the label "the Christian dark ages." They're called that because they started in 34 AD, right? No? Surely they started by 70 AD?

 

[razeontherock]

They did?!?

I thought only Catholics did that.

I guess I had a misconception about protestants.

Thanks Tad

I am not the one who is saying that they disagree with Vatican II and three other popes with regard to the Catholic Charismatic Renewal.

You say that Catholics are not subject to whims. Yet, how did do you determine your views of Catholic charismatics? Is it from viewing vatican documents that are available? Is it from an orderly exposition from scripture?

No, you apparently have a better source. You went to You Tube and type "charismatics". You might at least type "catholic charismatics. And when I say that the Renewal started in the 70's, you have your picture to show how terrible the nature was of anything from that era.

You have a very strange way at getting at the truth of things.

I have nothing against the gifts of the Holy Ghost (how could I?) -- either the ordinary gifts or the extraordinary gifts. I just have a serious problem with the what Charismatics (Protestants or [pseudo-]Catholics) claim is the gift of speaking in tongues (and some other issues). There are saints who had the gift of speaking in tongues -- but they did not babble nonsense.

Contrary to popular belief, Catholics are not subject to the personal whims and opinions of the current pope. Just because Pope John Paul II and, to a lesser degree, Pope Benedict XVI, have recognized the Charismatic Catholic Movement doesn't necessarily legitimize it.



I should highlight the part of about the 1970s.

Make some felt banners, sing Kumbayah, and "release the gifts of the Spirit" -- I'm glad the 70s are over.

I'm sure glad I'm not a catholic or a protestant.

but Raze that is relying on scripture, everyone put's their beliefs into words. That wold be like having a sermon with just scripture but nothing else. Do you see what I mean?

this is no different than any other type of Christian Faith explaining their beliefs.

 

[LittleLambofJesus]

I'm sure glad I'm not a catholic or a protestant.

My bro Paul would agree

Gal 3:28 Not therein judean{Catholic], neither greek[Protestant], not therein bond-servant neither free-one, not therein male and female, for all ye One are in Christ Jesus.

Cololl 3:11 Therefore not therein greek[Protestants] and judean [Catholics], circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian scythian, bond-slave, free-one but the all and in all, Christ.

 

[RND]

Which has what to do with infallibility?

"There are people in the Church who are sinners, therefore the Church can teach things which are false." I don't see the logic here.

Exactly. The Pope is a sinner therefore he isn't infallible.

doesn't quite have the same showmanship as Benny hinn but hey

The joke here is you have no clue who you're addressing. What do you do when neo nazis gain permission to peacefully demonstrate in the circle, at circle city? Well let's see, you could take your trumpet there and play "Southern Man" so loud they can't even think

You know, the chorus everybody knows the words to:

"Southern man better, keep your head
Don't forget what your, good book said
Southern change gonna, come at last
then your crosses be, burnin fast

I heard screamin and
bullwhips crackin and
how long, how long?
how how how how long?"


Do you really believe for an instant a single soul didn't get the message?
What have YOU ever done to make an impact?

Yet in contrast, never have I seen racial prejudice on display in any Baptist circle; but in this very thread, we see prejudice of the most heinous form possible online, coming from at least one RC, mis-directed at both Protestantism in general and at least one Protestant in specific, based on nothing more than misconception.

Admit it bos, you're just a sore loser. You're mad RC couldn't kill off as many Pr's back in the old country, and you're desperately trying to take a swipe now. Swing and a miss.

This thread was started as a friendly reach across the aisle, you know
