My Catholic Roots Struggle

[Zachm531]

Never said you had to go to the Catholic Church. Catholics as well as most Liturgical Christians (such as myself) get more Scripture than any evangelical every will, plus we get it the right way not leaving a person to their own devices creating countless heresies that inhabit the evangelical world and that one can see easily on this very vast forum. I use to be a Catholic to but I do not hate them with the vitriol hatred that some evangelicals and fundamentalist display.

I can point you to man, many evangelicals whom have no idea about the Bible and don't live a Christian life, maybe we should insult and belittle the evangelical Church's too that's only fair until they address the issue.

I wasnt insulting I was pointing out my issues with RCC. And yes i agree many protestants/evangelicals are the same way. The difference is that people that claim RCC usually dont know much Bible wheras protestants who claim protestants and live ungodly lives use (well Jesus died for my sins) its that whole OSAS mindset(regardless of its truth or not) that corrupts the protestants

I agree. There was no reason for any response that suggested otherwise.

You may not have been insulting but it did come off that way to me. I am very sensitive to that kind of thing because every where I go on forums here and elsewhere people always say how bad Catholic Christians and Traditional Christians are, I get beat down with all that. I am sorry if I was bad to you.

We are to be a unified body of believers! But we should always be discerning of our leaders, churches and doctrines

 

[Zachm531]

Certainly a logical choice. I hope you do get back to us with your impressions or whatever.

Really loved it!

Which Lutheran denomination did you go to?

Which Lutheran denomination did you go to?

I believe it was LCMS

Agree with the first part but we never will be unified in this life

I believe that all Christians are unified in Spirit:

We believe in one holy catholic
and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism
for the forgiveness of sins.

It's a nice thought, and no doubt it would feel better to acknowledge it than not to, but eventually (in light of the fact that we are not in sacramental union with one another) we would need to ask about each one of these points: which one -- mine or yours?

Not all. Those who say we are not followers because we are liturgical are not united like many fundamentalist, many evangelicals, and even some Calvinist. How I wish it were true and that all Christians every where were united under a common liturgy but the truth is we are not and even that last part of the creed you quoted "We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins." most evangelicals do not believe or try to explain away.
