The bottom line is I am Catholic and nothing can change that. The truth is I do not have to defend what I believe in or anything. I know Roman Catholicism is a Christian denomination because any denomination that believes in the divinity of Jesus Christ is Christian.
The truth is we should love and accept others as they are without telling them that their religion is wrong whether they are Christian or not. Just because I pray the Hail Mary or the Rosary does not mean you have to. You can pray however you like. The truth is this is how I am and it is take it or a leave it. If one cannot respect that right for that person and accept that person for who they are, then that is their own fault and they have to live with it. For example, I find out one of my friends is Wiccan, do I try to convert them? No I do not. As long as they are not pushing it on me or hurting me, that is all I care about. They can practice their paganism all they want to especially in the privacy of their own home and I would not even give a flying hoot about it and I would still love them and accept them just as much as before I found out. The bible says "Love thy neighbor" and that is what that is. The problem with this site is it is called "Christian Chat" rather than "Protestant Chat" or "Non-Catholic Christian Chat" and there is no statement of faith about "What we believe." Usually, a church would have a statement of faith on what they believe and one can go from there to decide whether they want to go to that church or not also they would say whether they are Baptist, Catholic, Methodist, etc. The thing about "Christian" is Catholics are Christians and to have "Christian Chat" means that would include Catholics as well as all other Christians and everyone would not try to convert each other.
Brother,
Do you believe Wiccan go to Heaven?
If you love your friend don't you want him go to heaven. Only one way go to Heaven and Jesus is the way.
Jesus command to love our neighbor like our self.
If we love our neighbor the best give that one can give to our lover is his salvation.
If we give a million dollar, he may happy for a wile til he die. He may use this million dollar for hundred years if he life that long.
after that he die for millions year in hell without Jesus.
Let say we have a son rise from other country, and his habit is rape. In his country rape go to jail only 2 years. He come to the state, and you american, and you know in the state, life sentence for rapist
Which of the following statement is indication of love?
a. When your son come to the state, are you going to warn your son because of love and inform the law for the rapist here?
b. Or because of love you don't even bother to warn him.
I am not saying that we must force other to believe the Jesus teaching, like Inquisition. But love mean worry other salvation.
