It is suppose to alert me to new comments by email but it does not, so I just happened to see the new comments today.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Bernice for sharing that. I certainly would rest easier if I could know for certain that there are Catholics who are saved so your story gives me hope.<BR/><BR/>Beth - I want to answer you in more detail in a separate post as you have some valid points and I hate for those points to get lost in the comment section of an old post. Let me get back to you!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04697072499214349759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18336822.post-1152582508018572242006-07-10T13:48:00.000-12:002006-07-10T13:48:00.000-12:00Carrie,I sm perplexed why you put Catholics in the...Carrie,<BR/><BR/>I sm perplexed why you put Catholics in the same boat as Mormons. My understanding is that we as Christians all embrace the Nicene Creed and can agree on that.<BR/>Whereas Mormons or Jehovah Witness's do not.<BR/><BR/>Why do you focus on your doctrinal differences with Catholics and not differences you have with other Christian denominations? ( and proclaim that they are not walking in the truth or are not Christians, clearly there are major differences between Pentecostals, Baptists etc)<BR/><BR/>Clearly, you must acknowlegde that although not all Catholics (or evangelicals) follow Jesus Christ in their hearts that the core teaching of their Church is that Jesus Christ is Lord.<BR/><BR/>Just a thought I had as I pondered your comments.<BR/>Can we agree that you and I both embrace the Nicene Creed as the core of our Christian faith? or do you not accept this?<BR/><BR/>BethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18336822.post-1152410295996893412006-07-08T13:58:00.000-12:002006-07-08T13:58:00.000-12:00Carrie, as a former Catholic-now Born Again Christ...Carrie, as a former Catholic-now Born Again Christian.....<BR/><BR/>I can say that I understand where you are coming from....I was a very loyal(to say the least) Catholic....my mother on the other hand was DEVOTE Catholic, however after realizing I needed a relationship with Christ verses a relationship of a church.....I turned to Christianity...my Mother when I told her, was upset that I left the church. I explained it to her this way, if I stayed with the Catholic church I was not happy with, I would not attend church but, if I went to the Christian church I was Born Again at...that I would serve God and make Heaven my home. She said to keep going to church that God would be happy! after a few years...I had a discussion with my mother and found from that talk that she was truely saved.........although still serving God in the Catholic church. This blew my mind! When she passed away an uncle of mine stood before the church of over 300+ ppl and said that if it hadn't been for her example he would not be saved today! Person after person stepped up to say similar comments about my mother and her Christ filled life! So although the Catholic church was not for me, I can say I know several Catholic's that are truely saved by Christ & Christ alone.<BR/>no debate here....just a comment on this topicBernicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00645971280008629731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18336822.post-1152145113032643482006-07-05T12:18:00.000-12:002006-07-05T12:18:00.000-12:00nikkij7890:This is now the second time you have ca...nikkij7890:<BR/><BR/>This is now the second time you have called me "un-Christian" so I'm starting to think you distrust Christians in general or just don't like me. Either way, I'm probably not going to convince you of much. <BR/><BR/>You are interpreting my quote out of context and missing the jist of my message. No, I don't think I'm God. No, I am not judging someone based on my feelings. No, it's not my way or no way. <BR/><BR/>But it is Jesus' way or no way and my mission with anyone who may not know the correct way is to point them to it (that being Jesus).<BR/><BR/>John 14:6<BR/>Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."<BR/><BR/>Acts 4:12<BR/>"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04697072499214349759noreply@blogger.com
