[/quote] My husband has drawn the perverbial "line in the sand." At this point in time I don't feel led to cross it. I am praying that since he is the spiritual leader in our home, that the Lord will convict him of where we are to go church-wise. I am very unhappy in our current church.

Mrs. Bro. Adam Posted January 31, 2005 Author Posted January 31, 2005 I think, perhaps, he's stuck in the denial stage and will be much happier if he just goes with God and comes Home to Rome
spathariossa Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 [quote name='Catalyst' date='Jan 30 2005, 08:34 PM'] individuals comprise the church. There was a protestant movement for a reason. Its not for any other reason than realising how far the roman catholic church strayed from the truth. They opperated in thier own power far too often....ever heard of the spanish inquisition? just one example [/quote] I feel called by the Holy Spirit to respond to this. Okay nevermind I'm just being vindictive. Do you have any idea what the Spanish Inquisition was? The Church didn't run it. The inquisition was run by the Spanish Government. Initially the pope had agreed to an inquest into heresies in Spain but he gave control of that inquest to the King and Queen of Spain. This was a huge mistake because the King and Queen then used the inquisition as a way to consolidate their political power. The Spanish Inquisition was by far the bloodiest and most brutal inquisition of all. But it was not run by the Catholic church. The Pope asked the King and Queen to stop several times but they refused. Learn some history.
Mrs. Bro. Adam Posted January 31, 2005 Author Posted January 31, 2005 Hmm...interesting....thank you...

Televangelism! I love those guys who hold the rattlesnakes and sing praises to God because there is some passage in the bible that says the followers of the Lord will hold snakes. Then they drink the venom because it also says no deadly thing can harm them. Those guys are clearly filled with the holy spirit! I think I want to convert to protestantism now...

Venom has to be put into the bloodstream. Poison is the stuff that is digested.
XIX Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 [quote name='Gal. 5:22,23' date='Jan 31 2005, 09:31 AM'] I am very unhappy in our current church. [/quote] I'm not sure what your "current church" is, but I want to let you know that emotions don't determine the state of your soul. A relatively righteous man can be very unhappy while a godless person might feel happy during certain times. Don't let being unhappy or happy be the sole impetus behind what religions you go to. Sometimes God put us through difficult times so we can be remined of how much we need him, and we all need that.

Rich* Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 [quote name='Mrs. Bro. Adam' date='Jan 30 2005, 07:49 PM'] Why Protestantism? What is it that keeps you out of the church, and in Protestantism? Is it a doctrine that you find against scripture? Is it hesitation? Why remain Protestant and not come into the Church? [/quote] I do not find anything in my church's teaching that is contrary to scripture. I believe we worship the same God and therefore to a certain extent it does not matter that I am 'anglican' and you are 'catholic', we both will go to Heaven if we believe in the Lord Jesus. If however a church/denomination/person teaches that which is not true to the matters of first importance (ie. directly related to Gods sovereignty and salvation) then I would not accept them. I do not find such contradictions in my church and therefore believe its teachings (so long as they are in line with the bible). I do not know enough about catholicism to say whether this is true of your faith or not (that is why I am here) God Bless, Rich
StColette Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 (edited) Welcome to Phatmass Rich [quote]I do not know enough about catholicism to say whether this is true of your faith or not (that is why I am here)[/quote] I wanted to edit in response to this statement. I highly commend you on putting forth the effort to not jump to conclusions but rather to research and learn about what the Catholic Church truly teaches. This is in fact a rare thing to see, so thank you Edited January 31, 2005 by StColette
