New Question?????

[BAChristian]

Ok, listen, I'm going to come right out and say it...

This:

"but only in the Catholic Church will one be able to find the full and complete truth of the Christian faith with out any error contained there in."

is a better way of getting your point across than

This:

"Because the fullness of Truth can only be found in the Catholic Faith"

Get it?

If any Protestant brothers and sisters would like clarification, I would suggest that you start a new thread.

 

[Benedicta00]

yea I get it.

 

[Benedicta00]

Because the fullness of Truth can only be found in the Catholic Faith.

In other words, as BAchristian has stated, "but only in the Catholic Church will one be able to find the full and complete truth of the Christian faith with out any error contained therein"

You trying to give yourself credit for my quote?

It's o.k I didn't take any offense to it I was just asking a question, I've always wondered why it was so. Hope God keeps blessing

not sure i understand it, but i get it. I know that non Catholics may be affronted by the latter comment, but we are a Catholic forum and that IS what we believe...is it that you are suggesting that we say things in a less simplistic and appreciable style so as to make the 'pill' a little more easy to swallow?

i'm not fighting, your bigger than me.

Basically because we believe that we are the Church that Christestablised and gave the Holy Spirit to, to lead it and guide it through the ages.

It isn’t as complexed a thing as it sounds basically the whole reformation issue. They believe we got the gospel all wrong and we believe that the reformers are in error and are, well, can’t say it any other way, heretics (them, not you). The truth that Protestantism does contain is what wasn’t disputed during the reformation and all the subsequent splits and denomination born from it’s seed that keep the truth receives it from the Church.

...is it that you are suggesting that we say things in a less simplistic and appreciable style so as to make the 'pill' a little more easy to swallow?

Yes my friend, that's exactly what I'm saying.

And, you could even add something like what we've always said before during these conversations, that, (and I'm paraphrasing) the Church knows what it is, but not what it is not, or something to that effect.

In other words, we don't know the salvation of others.

I would encourage all of us to remember that discussions on the "truth" and the "fullness" directly relate to one's "salvation".

We need to insure that are Protestant brothers and sisters realize that we don't think they're going to hell for not being Catholic. We need to "pad" our statements, while stating what the Church beliefs, in a way that makes "the pill easier to swallow".

If we don't, and we just say little one-liners, people are left to figure out things theirselves, and they end up saying things like, "The Church says I'm not saved because I'm not Catholic."

For the converts who are reading this: Let's not forget our roots. How would you take certain statements? Be honest with yourself. A little clarification helps A LOT.

Does that help?

In all honesty we have said it enough times, it hasn't done a lot of good and if they still want to believe other wise that is their own prerogative. Some of the Protestants are going to chock on the pill irregardless of how gently we give it them. Some won’t, that is how it goes.

 

[Debi1967]

Do I need to explain respect factor.
MY question has been answered this thread has turned into a debate of sorts. That was not it's intent. Leave it be.

 

[MattMMMan17]

I concur with Debi. It was her thread and should be respected as such. Please close it.
