Catholics =/= Christians

[BlackJack619]

Or protestants are in the same boat based on the statement as protestants are alleged to have accidentally spun off into the "correct church" no thx

I'll stick with the foundation of Christianity.

Which church is following scripture?

The catholic church has an ugly history, and some strange teaching, for example the teaching of purgatory, and how your love ones can shorten their trip in purgatory if you donate to the church.

Maybe the catholic church was the first, but does that mean they are not heretical?

I grew up in a catholic home, and after reading the bible for myself things just didnt add up.

Catholics also invented the idea that the soul is immortal which contradicts the bible

[BlackJack619]

Evangelicucks =/= Christians.

Do you know Jesus's last command in the book of Matthew was to evangelize?

Matthew 28:16-20
New International Version
The Great Commission
16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.(A) 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.(B) 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,(C) baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,(D) 20 and teaching(E) them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you(F) always, to the very end of the age.”(G)

Lots of things in the Bible contradicts the Bible, which makes a good read. You read it cover to cover yet or nah?

That's like saying a group labeling themselves "true believers" automatically makes them saved.

All I'm gonna say for the 'catholics aren't christians' debate is there's a reason people are leaving mainstream christianity in droves but not catholicism.

[BlackJack619]

If you're gonna be a Christian the least you can do is teach what Jesus taught, otherwise you are just a hypocrite.

[ninetynine8]

There isn't a single reference to the soul being immortal in the bible, it's literally just something Catholics pulled out of their hat.

Can you point out just one those contradiction?

I guarentee if you read the bible in context there are zero contradictions.

The key is context, context, context.

The genealogy of Jesus between Luke and Matthew.

[ninetynine8]

"And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul."

?

That's referring to the fact that man can't kill your soul. That doesn't make it immortal

If you seriously think that says the soul is immortal than it shows your standard for 'contradiction' is retarded.



The next verse literally says "Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell."

[z4v4]

I didn't say it was a contradiction.

If man can't kill your soul and a saved soul has everlasting life, what's up, son?

[CelkyN6]

"And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul."

Think he might've been implying that the souls of non-believers aren't stated as immortal, because there are countless references to believers having eternal life.

[BlackJack619]

The genealogy of Jesus between Luke and Matthew.

That's an easy one, one book is the genealogy going back from Mary,
And the other going back from Joseph, and using both genealogy regardless of Mary's or Joseph, Jesus bloodline goes all the way back to David.

[dakensta]

The guys who make it up in the first place can't be heretical, duh. Anyone who says anything contrary to what they say is the heretic, that's the rules.

[niospecv]

Catholics are Christian but not all Christians are Catholics.
Furthermore Catholicism is like the tree trunk of the tree that is Christianity.
Without Catholicism there would be no Christians... well maybe Orthodox.

Congratulations sir. You've won the stupidest post of the day award.

Catholic Church was the first church of Christ. Peter is the first pope. Whatever its original intent I believe it has become a corruption of the truth.

I’m a seventh day Adventist believer myself.

LOL Peter was NEVER the first pope. Roman Catholicism is utter bullchit. It's based on different pagan beliefs. Also, the stupid religion came to be only because their own people were converting to Christianity and they knew they were losing the battle for control. Instead, they made up the catholic church along with their stupid rules and persecuted Christians to convert or else die. This was part of the Roman Crusades.

Anything other than non-denomination bible-based Christianity is bullchit. There is only 1 way to salvation and that is through Jesus Christ. Even Jews will die in hell because they don't recognize Jesus as the Messiah. Good luck filthy jews.

Since you have all the answers, how long does one live in hell before they die in hell?

[memcop]

Some spin their worldview into "reality."

Love God. Know there is the highest power that isn't yourself.

Seek peace and exercise compassion.

It really is that easy.

[BlackJack619]

The genealogy of Jesus between Luke and Matthew.

Theres a really easy explanation for this, one genealogy is following Joseph's blood line, and the other one is following Mary's.

And using both, Jesus is still a descendant of King David, regardless of which blood line you follow.

When I was really young in my walk like you, I also wondered about this "contradiction" but after a little digging, not much, I learned I was wrong, and the Bible was right.

[z4v4]

Speculation does not mean the contradiction does not exist.

Lmao.

Lmao.

How many different paths of genealogy are there on any family tree?

Two separate paths not matching up is no a "contradiction"

[z4v4]

How many different paths of genealogy are there on any family tree?

For the same person? You tell me.

[BlackJack619]

For the same person? You tell me.

Many.

Ironically the catholic bible does contradict itself with the extra books they added to it 500 years ago.

Another red flag in the catholic church.

[ninetynine8]

Think he might've been implying that the souls of non-believers aren't stated as immortal, because there are countless references to believers having eternal life.

Yes that's right. The fact believers are GIVEN eternal life proves what I'm saying.

The immortal soul is Greek mythology, Catholics combined the two and now basically every denomination (including Islam which branched from Christianity) teaches it because of a couple symbolic verses in Revelation

[Kilted100]

As a catholic I’m glad most of the world isn’t going to heaven and instead heading straight to hell.

[z4v4]

Many.

Lol. You're not going to get me to defend Catholicism. Still doesn't change the over 100 contradictions in the Bible that people will gaslight to explain.

[z4v4]

Where do non-believers go or do they just die and that's that?

[ninetynine8]

Where do non-believers go or do they just die and that's that?

They are in hell which is the grave until the resurrection of the just and unjust.

The final judgement is either eternal life if you accept Christ, or death in the lake of fire after being shamed before God and the holy angels.

So "Shame on you! Off to hell you go!" is what happens upon death to a non-believer? What happens in hell? Does one just cease living and that's that, or is there an eternity of torture and suffering?
