Roman Catholic and protestant

last SG · 2005-05-15T18:02:37+00:00

and if saying that by being a protestant, you will be safe is not blatant bullshit than what is it?a fact?

Icemoon SG

Wah .. how is SIS gonna do that .. haha

badzilla SG

1)For god's sake we do not worship her we just pray to her!

Than she said some crap blah blah blah that i will go to hell if i do not blah blah blah this and that

[/b]

how many chapters are they in the bible that mentioned Mary? maybe i should how many pages? it's quite little i would say... btw, im a little curious, do catholics use the same bible as protestants?

U pray to her and u do not worship her? sounds contradicting. i find ur sentence a little weird. ok lar. i would say that guy shouldnt say u will go to hell lar. it's not up to him to judge in the last days. well anyway, my personal view. dont take it that all protestants think the same. Catholics pray to Mary... so where is Jesus's place in your hearts? He died on the cross for us.
John 3:36

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him.

not Mary. Would say that Mary is just a human after all. Dont tell me she doesnt have sins, at all? Sins are in our human nature after all.

protestants do not pray to dead relatives, we respect them by visiting their graves and praying to God that we are glad that our relatives believed in God when they were still alive. we are not praying to our dead relatives.

do not worship mary but have statues?

These laws appear in the christian bible. They r not strictly jewish. (About hitting the slaves it is explicitly mentoned by Jesus christ, which made it NT). No one ever says tat just following the 2 laws means u can break all the others laws in the OT. Even Jesus says tat the old laws have to be follow faithfully forever. May I ask u from where do u get the info tat the old laws is totally irrelevant now and it was completely replaced by the 2 things u stated ? Where do it says tat the death of Jesus has totally erased off all the laws from the OT and they r totally wrong now ?

U say tat jesus will come at anytime and the end may be near. And so ? He is gonna punish the christians for not evangelising enough people or punish the people for not hearing the word which is not their fault ? I tell u non-believers don't give 2 hoot about wat your bible tell u to do. Just because bible tell them to evangelise it doesn't means they r free to insult other belief, evangelise at the most inappropriate maner, at the worst location, on the most terrible timing to the most unwilling people.

Read the New Testament b4 u make sweeping statements like tt ie get ur facts right. nvm. u shld b -honoured- tt ppl like u were mentioned in the Bible. ill not care to elaborate.

Coming back to the original thread topic.....

I thought that public preaching and converting were no longer allowed and was stopped long ago. Is it still happening?

I've had my experiences too.....and geee, I hated it. But I did enjoy two instances.... Very Happy

Honeybunz SG

See them next time, call mata

Icemoon SG

Not many. I think even Mary Magdalene mentioned more than Mother Mary?

Same bible. Just different versions. Personally I prefer my NRSV which contains scriptures for Orthodox and Catholics. But who is to say Protestants dun use NRSV 'cos Catholics also use that? So you see, it is just a difference of version.

U pray to her and u do not worship her? sounds contradicting.

I don't find it contradicting. Just feel sad someone has to listen to your prayers without getting any recognition. Mr. Green

not Mary. Would say that Mary is just a human after all. Dont tell me she doesnt have sins, at all? Sins are in our human nature after all.

What does that got to do with the deity of Christ from the RC perspective?

PS: In theology, Jesus Christ, as much as he is God, is considered a mediator. (see Westminister Confession of Faith). In RC theology, Mary is a co-mediator and the Co-Redemptrix.

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!??

Icemoon SG

What's wrong? Did the Jews worship the two cherubims on the ark which God told them to make?

Icemoon SG

Be kind to your brothers/sisters in Christ can? Evil or Very Mad

Please don't quote the OT "an eye for an eye" .. lol

laurence82 SG

Confirmed boh?

SingaporeMacross SG

Friend,

your 'dead' relatives are not really dead. They are alive in heaven! We do not call heaven the eternal life for nothing you know..

gentlerock SG

I don't know leh....the last time I've had anyone trying to convert me by cold-canvassing in public was more than 10 years ago. Or maybe its because I look like the devil, thats why they don't dare approach me. Laughing

Seriously, I thought it was outlawed. I had the impression that there were too many complaints and so somebody at the top discreetly put a stop to it. And ex-PM Goh specifically stated in his last National Day Rally that everything is not taboo for public expression except religion and race right? (And I would consider preaching, criticising other religions and trying to convert people as public expression of religion).

Er.....laws aside, I always preferred to handle the matter myself instead of calling mata.

Icemoon SG

Mate,

How can they be alive in heaven when judgment day is not yet here? I think only Enoch and Elijah are in heaven right?

ccck SG

then where do u suppose they r at? Very Happy

Daniel 12:2: "And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt."

John 3:12-13: "If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? And no man hath ascended up to heaven..."

John 5:28-29: "...for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation."

Acts 2:29-34: "Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried...For David is not ascended into the heavens..."

badzilla SG

Our dead relatives are not yet in heaven ba.... God havent judge any of us till judgement days. it's quite complicated... err.. im halfway through a book "the rise of anti-christ" by Salem Kirban

It mentioned RAPTURE
This refers to the time, prior to the start of the 7 year Tribulation Period, when believing Christians( both dead and alive) will "in the twinkling of an eye" rise up to meet Christ in the air. Read 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 in the New testament.

ok, i'll write out 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Smile After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

SingaporeMacross SG

Good grief! You people don’t believe in life eternal?! Don’t you know that Jesus has already opened the gates of heaven?

Ito_^ SG

everything should just disappear back to emptiness.
