I'm a friend...at least I like to believe that you accept me as a friend. I most certainly accept your friendship. We don't always agree on doctrines but I see them as minors instead of majors.
Today I went and visited Andrew Jackson's home and plantation.
Which also addressed the civil war.
Yes Andrew Jackson owned slaves...but he treated some as family...especially one that had been his personal attendant. Even allowing him to have a grave next to himself and his wife.
And I think about how he considered keeping South Carolina from seceeding from the Union but then his adopted sons and grandsons fought on the side of the Confederacy. Obviously something had changed....

I don't understand why people are going to a church where they are mandated to believe things they do not believe. Any insight on that? Most of the people I know that are "catholics" are culturally christian non-believers.
Tradition. The traditions of men. Social and cultural acceptance. Family, even.
I am currently watching a documentary on Warren Jeffs. What a wicked manipulative immoral man he was, using the Bible as his shield, no less, while he groomed young girls and pimped them out to those who were most loyal to him, all the while stifling dissent on fear of loss of salvation and social ostracization. He was not averse to ripping families apart if you disagreed with him. Families in his domain were quite extensive and complex, too. He himself had more than sixty wives. Yeah. He married his mothers after his father passed away
Right. I suppose I understand why "people" do it. But I don't think it's something believers should be doing, anyway.
True. That is why we are to love God more than mother, father, sister, brother, etc. More than the world.
I have watched a few documentaries on Mafia personalities too. Ha, how interesting are they to put up this façade of being religious, going faithfully to church and being devout family men while being hardened criminals and even multi-murderers in some cases at the same time.
Some people have a false interpretation of the Bible because they have a belief that is not part of the Bible and it becomes their foundation for interpreting scriptures.
It is obvious when the Roman Empire embraced Christianity they did not get rid of their pagan ways and it became their foundation for interpreting scriptures.
They interpret scriptures according to paganism.
When they do the Eucharist they are saying the bread and wine turn in to the body and blood of Jesus but that becomes a sacrifice and Jesus gave himself once for all and Jesus said do this in remembrance of me not as a sacrifice.
Joseph Smith, Mormon church, Scientology, Christian Science, and ones like them that are seriously wrong have a belief that is not part of the Bible and it became their foundation for interpreting scriptures.
The Catholic Church has to much falsehood to ever be compatible with Protestants.
Love the old buildings ! embracing or history is important the good and the bad . I believe that is true of all nations.
Total count was 78 at the time of his rape convictions; 24 of his wives were under age.I am currently watching a documentary on Warren Jeffs.

And I have that same friendship with many in my everyday life. People that attend different denominations and yet we still fellowship together. We have a large Baptist church not far from us and they have different singing groups all year round and every denomination goes there to hear the groups. No one is asked at the door which church they attend. And I can tell you we have New Year services that are just heavenly. We all in one accord pray the old year out and the new one in.
I like to work on case by case not with sweeping generalizations.
If there are more Catholics on this site than there seem to be, then I think that is a good thing, but attacking their beliefs if they are devoted to the "church" probably will only make them double down. That is my view on it.
The common ground I was thinking about is when you are conversing with an individual.
So before we had no unity and now we have "false unity" so nothing has really changed.
What is wrong with people?Yeah. He married his mothers after his father passed away
I actually really wanted the marriage and family thing in my early 20's; so, I thank God I was never sucked into marrying into a cult.
Having friends in the 'real 'world who dont believe in the same God is alot different then discussing ideologies in a forum....
Praying to what some may call a saint is not Godly it is sinful as is praying to Mary.. IF i am to love a Catholic person and then not point out to them what the Scriptures say, in a forum setting , do i really love them? My RCC brother comes over for dinner i dont attack him it is not the time or place... He does not attack me. Are we in the name of LOVE to just over look LDS belief that Satan and Jesus are brothers?
Members here have done what they believe to be the right thing in pointing out what they see as my errors , goofies, sins ,etc. I hope they continue . Total acceptance with out any questions is not love it is the opposite.

He was a sick twisted megalomaniac, and used religion to maintain his manipulative control over thousands of people.What is wrong with people?

While pretending to be holy. God on earth. Just like a pope...
The girls he bedded got younger and younger.
Some of his wives watched the rapes.
Meanwhile they all lied about it.
Every. Single. One.
I agree. As Christians we aim to follow Christ who is within us, and Christ tells us to resist not evil but replace it with good. It is not good to sit in judgment of others. it is trying to get the speck out of the eye of others when we all see darkly, so we could have a log in our own eye.
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
What business of mine is it to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?
