The Point Is That All Hate And Prejudice Is Wrong Regardless Of Who It Is Against. Yes it Is Wrong Of Whoever is Sending Harassing Hate Filled Emails But Also It Is Wrong Also To Make A Blanket Hateful Statement About Every Single Catholic On Earth And Yes It Would Be Also Wrong To Make A Blanket Hateful Statement About All Other Denominations Also. I Do Not Believe That God Wants Us To Declare War On An Entire Religion Or Denomination Whether It Is Christian Or not.
catholics are christian, the word of God you say we need to come back to was written, preserved and carried to this day by catholics, all christians need to love God first, all christians need to read the holy scripture, all christians need to follow Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, all christians need to pray without ceasing, all christians need to believe the gospel, all christians need to place all their faith, hope and love in God the Father, through Jesus Christ our Lord by the grace of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ is our salvation, Praise be to God.

What makes a person a christian? Following Christ. Obeying His commandments. Accepting His word.
Would you agree with me on that, Vernon?
Would you please point out to me your source of information that makes you think catholics wrote, preserved, and carried His word?
The rest of your post we can agree on.
I believe there are people in most all denominations that will go to heaven .Those that are in false religions thinking they really are serving God could be okay, as God is a merciful God.
Those people standing behind the pulpit preaching that false religion are in deep trouble. The catholic religion goes against the word that Christ taught. Catholics have priests, ask mary to intercede, wear lavish garments, take pride in pomp and ceremony, and many other things that Christ preached specifically against. The doctrine of oral tradition is a rejection of Christ.
The very word that is rejected by catholics will judge them. Not Christ, He tells us, but His word. He says that, yet you deny it. Catholics will stand before Christ on that day and He will open the bible everytime they open their mouth.You say you want to follow, obey, and serve Christ, yet you deny His word.

The bishop of Rome was first called the successor of St Peter and St Paul.
Peter was one of the 12 Jesus himself chose to be an apostle, Jesus revealed himself to Paul who went on to evangelize a large portion of the Roman Empire. Both were martyred in Rome during the reign of ceasar Nero circa 65ad. Both contributed to writing portions of the New Testament. The bishops of rome along with the four other patriarchs of the early church preserved the teachings of the apostles, and established as canon the 27 books now recognized as the New Testament. St Jerome in the 4th century was commissioned by Pope Damasus I to revise the old latin translation of the bible, and his revision is what today we refer to as the Latin Vulgate.
So this is what I mean by the Catholic Church writing and preserving the bible, and all translations of the bible to this day are indebted to the Catholic Church for doing so, ask any bible scholar.
As to your belief that the Catholic Church teaches as dogma heresy, and so you must be separated from her, get in line, many have separated from the Catholic Church. I do not consider you less a christian for your separation, and I would hope you would not think me less of a christian for remaining with her (Catholic Church).
Christ be with you always,

People Can Disagree All They Want To But Being Catholic Is A Human Right Under The First Amendment Of The United States Constitution As Well As Being Protestant Or Non-Christian.

Re: Phil112
Don't get you hopes up about going to heaven, just because Phil said:
"those that are in false religions thinking they really are serving God could be okay,
as God is a merciful God,"
that's a statement I don't agree with at all.
-John 14:6-
@Phil112 --> #131
The Anti-Catholic hormones are strong with this one.
....Where did you get that idea?

Re: Phil112
That's not a statement, that's God's Word.
You really believe people can count on God's mercy if they don't acknowledge Him?
[SUP]"[/SUP]For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in himshould not perish, but have everlasting life."
-John 3:16-

Re: Phil112
"While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
Yes I believe we can count on the mercy of God.
I also believe the word of God that says we are not to judge or condemn anyone.
I also do not believe God has commissioned you to pronounce judgement on the Catholic Church.
Jesus Christ will judge the living and the dead, not a group of self righteous pontificators on CC.
God have mercy on all our souls through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
