Protestant-proofing Our Kids

While you are entitled to your beliefs, and while I agree that non-Catholics should not be treated like heathens, I don't think being a true Catholic has to do with wrapping up an evangelical theology in sheep's clothing.

I will keep you in my prayers. (Salvation is not so simple a thing, see? )

The gospel is simple. Salvation doctrine is complex.

You can be an idiot and be saved

God Bless.

Read my post again about my friend who was a witch

[Anna]

And what were your friend's parents doing while she was practicing witchcraft?

And how do you know that she is "saved?"

Who are you to say who is "saved," and who is not?

Not even the Catholic Church declares someone is saved while he/she is still living.

Pax Christi. <><

Only God does the work but we have a duty as parents to set an example of Christ and teach our children about the One Holy Catholic Church. Prayer is a big part of this yes I agree, God does the work, but we still have a duty to set the example!

Salvation is a work in progress, all our life, everyday we have to work it out!

Acts 16: 30-31 - And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31. And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

I think someone needs to study up on their Bible a bit more...

Ah no I think it's the other way around is this a faith only without works thing again?

[azaelia]

If we truly believe we have the Truth, why would we risk losing our children to another belief when we could be showing them the Truth? Protestants Catholic-Proof their kids (trust me, I know from experience, I'm not speaking out of spite). Would Protestants want their children to convert to Catholicism? Please. If you want to be "universal", quit with the hypocrisy.

Please explain it to the rest of us ignoramuses.

I hate to sound a bit offensive, but then again... But many of you are treating protestants like [i]freaking[/i] heathens, stop it.    [i]Dear God[/i]...[/quote]

You hate to sound a bit offensive?

Well, you can begin by not using terms that are slang for the "f" word. The use of the word above is frowned upon on this Catholic website.

Also, so is taking the name of the Lord, Our God, in vain. (Check the Ten Commandments.)

As far as people treating protestants like heathens, I wouldn't go that far. Though we understand our protestant neighbors believe in Jesus Christ, we also see the shortcomings of the errors of protestantism. And this is the [b]Debate[/b] Table, where we put our arguments out on the table.

James 2:17. Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

Now look who's being the judge now. Anne tells me who am I to say if someone is Saved, and now you do the very same thing she acused me of doing.

I'm confused? This thread was started to show how we should raise our kids in a good Catholic home and now it's a a little tiffy. Anna is stating the facts she is quoting what you said.


Let's try to stay on topic please.

[the lumberjack]

and once you have kids, you'll be able to share exactly what you're doing to make sure they're raised the way the Lord would want.

to say what you would do, and what you actually do, are two different things.

especially when it comes to kids...or do you have kids?

God bless.
