ReformationNow Posted July 5, 2003 Posted July 5, 2003 There's nothing wrong with Good protestants who treat Catholics with respect. I'm a little angry because there are a few ignorant protestants in my family who believe Catholics crucified Jesus. Have they read the sermon in Acts which proves ALL OF US are guilty of Christ's death? What? Are these folk deadheads(no offense to your family bro)
MC Just Posted July 5, 2003 Author Posted July 5, 2003 My two sisters One is Baptist and the other is part of some denomination. She's the one who accuses catholics of crucifying Jesus. They do not know the scriptures all that well. They've been Protestant all their lives.
Anna Posted July 5, 2003 Posted July 5, 2003 I'm interested...what are some of the sins that some of these denoms are enslaved by? Well, Mulls, take King Henry VIII, for example. He founded the Church of England, cuz the Catholic Church would not permit him to divorce his wife and remarry his mistress. He began a bloody crusade of persecution against loyal Catholic clergy, seized Church property, and declared himself the head of "The Church of England," which today is the Episcopalian Church...founded on the sins of lust and adultery (not to mention murder.) Others today wish to remain in a sin that they don't want to give up, so they'll leave the Catholic Church and join another sect. I know a lady who left the Catholic Church because it doesn't approve of invitro fertilization, for instance. She is now a reiki practitioner and has a doctorate of divinity in a non-denominational sect.
hyperdulia again Posted July 5, 2003 Posted July 5, 2003 Whole Protestant denoms (Methodists and Episcopalians[Anglicans] come to mind) are threatening to break in two over homosexuality and all Protestant denominations think artificial contraception is acceptable, so from the Catholic viewpoint there is a lot of sin enslavement going on in protestantism.
dUSt Posted July 5, 2003 Posted July 5, 2003 Well, off the top of my head, a lot of mainstream Protestant denominations teach that birth control is acceptable. That's a grave sin.
Anna Posted July 5, 2003 Posted July 5, 2003 (edited) Few realize that up until 1930, all Protestant denominations agreed with the Catholic Church’s teaching condemning contraception as sinful. At its 1930 Lambeth Conference, the Anglican church, swayed by growing social pressure, announced that contraception would be allowed in some circumstances. Soon the Anglican church completely caved in, allowing contraception across the board. Since then, all other Protestant denominations have followed suit. Today, the Catholic Church alone proclaims the historic Christian position on contraception. http://www.catholic.com/library/birth_control.asp Edited July 5, 2003 by Anna
God Conquers Posted July 5, 2003 Posted July 5, 2003 How can a church change it's teaching on morality? It's ridiculous.
Anna Posted July 5, 2003 Posted July 5, 2003 I'm interested...what are some of the sins that some of these denoms are enslaved by? mulls, I think that IronMonk is referring to "some people" not "some denominations." It is individuals who don't want to let go of a particular sin, want to justify that behavior, and seek a denomination which will approve of it. Happens all the time, ever since the Reformation, in fact!
dairygirl4u2c Posted March 21, 2004 Posted March 21, 2004 I think we all should study the Eastern Orthodox church a little more to see their justification for not following the papacy.
Aloysius Posted March 21, 2004 Posted March 21, 2004 dairy girl, you never cease to amaze me. there is absolutely nothing in this thread about the Eastern Orthodox... go start your own thread. -_-
