that's about saying anyone believe the way you want & you'll get to heaven. there's James 2:10 & John 3:33. she is not born again as John 3:5 teaches. i'm not saying i think she's not going to heaven, i'm saying there are doubts. John 14:6 teaches: "I am the way, the truth & the life. No man come to father except by Me". then there is Matthew 7:21 & 15:8 & 9.
No,that's not what was said.
 
some catholics are born again? i never heard such a ridiculous statement. you either are catholic or born again. there's a huge amount of difference. ( no, i'm not mad lanolin ). catholics do not live with the Holy Spirit. the only was to have the H.S. is to be born again.
Catholics believe they are indwelt by the holy Spirit continually. This is accomplished , they believe, through the sacraments.
 
I went to a funeral for an lady in my garden club and it was in an Anglican church, (she was a Christian, def as she had the fruits of the Holy Spirit). The service was kind of like the Catholics just without the Mary worship like it was a Mass requiem with all the smells and bells, the organ, the shared cup and wafer, the holy water, incense, candles etc the wooden pews with the red carpet down the aisle.
Scripture reading, hymns...the whole thing. It took about 3 hours.

Whether its God's way or not IDK but definitely had a lot of prayer and scripture and talked about the gospel.
 
They said anyone could go up and partake of the Eucharist (as they call it) and one of my fellow members, who is also a Christian (not catholic or anglican) wanted to but didn't end up doing so we just stayed in our pews, I was a bit wary becasue having experienced drinking from the shared cup before I think it was port or some kind of alcohol and that doesn't agree with me.

I have been to a Catholic church service when my friend who used to be Anglican, crossed over the other side because her Anglican church was getting political. She invited me, but she and her husband don't believe in the Mary stuff. I'd say she was born again because but also a work in progress like most of us are who don't come from a Christian background and new to the whole church thing.
 
Orthodox churches are also quite an experience with the icons and chanting etc.
 
they can believe that but it's not God's way.
I think God inspired the Book. I don't think he goes by what man compressed into the Book.

God knows who are his before he created the world.
I can never say the name of any Catholic today can never be found in The Lambs Book of Life.

Do you dare to?

2nd timothy 3:16 & 17 & 2nd Peter 1:20 & 21 catholics didn't exist before the Bible was written.
 
So tell us about Yemen
I don't know anything about Maldives...or even where exactly it is.

From what I know about North Korea, is the US had a hand in dividing the country North and South. Before that it was just Korea. Imagine if your country got divided North and South or East and West, and all the Christians could only live in one part?!

Also what happened with India and Pakistan which was partitioned into Hindu and Moslem majorities, but I don't know where the Christian believers went. The British did that. I don't know really why, something to do with colonialism, which did not always go hand-in-hand with missionaries.
Yemen once had a meaningful Jewish and Christian presence before Islam, but over centuries Christianity disappeared under political pressure, Islamic dominance, and social restrictions.
Today Yemen is one of the hardest places on earth for believers: open Christian practice is illegal, conversion is forbidden, and the few Christians who exist live underground or as foreign workers.
The country’s long civil war and tribal structure only deepen the danger for anyone outside the dominant religious identity.
The Maldives is a tiny island nation southwest of India, officially 100% Muslim by constitutional requirement.
Citizens cannot legally convert, evangelize, or publicly practice Christianity, and only foreign workers can be Christians at all.
It is one of the most restrictive environments in the world for religious freedom, with the government enforcing Islamic identity as a condition of citizenship.
Before 1945, Korea was a single nation — and the north was actually the region where Christianity thrived most, with Pyongyang once called “the Jerusalem of the East.”
After WWII, the Soviets occupied the north and the Americans the south, dividing the peninsula at the 38th parallel; the Korean War cemented the split.
Under the communist regime, Christians in the north were executed, imprisoned, or forced underground, turning what was once a Christian stronghold into one of the most dangerous places for believers in the world.
When the British left in 1947, they partitioned the region into Hindu‑majority India and Muslim‑majority Pakistan, based on demographics and political pressure rather than Christian presence.
Christians were a small minority scattered across both regions, so they remained where they lived rather than receiving a separate state.
Most Christians stayed in India, some in Pakistan, and a smaller number in what became Bangladesh — showing that colonial borders often left Christian minorities squeezed between larger religious blocs.

You dare to.

OK.
The institutional Catholic Church compiled and finalized the official biblical canon.
r u catholic? the books placed in scripture were authored by God, men wrote it down as the Holy Spirit instructed. it was recognized that the books were used by god & inspired by God. look to Galatians for more answers. when the canon was completed it didn't make those books scripture, it realized what God had done.

What about Afghanistan and Sudan.
I think we all hear various horror stories about those countries.

Sudan is roughly 91%,maybe a little more, Muslim.

In Afghanistan, after Biden-Obama returned the country to the Taliban, it is impossible for any Afghani who wants to live to openly admit they are Christian.

In 2021, a minister of their government said,“We will cut any Christian we find into pieces.”

There are Christians there though the numbers would be hard to calculate given the risk.

There are books in the Catholic bible that are not standard in the regular bible. So I wouldn't say they canonized what goes into the bible itself. There's massive differences between the Protestant and Catholic bible.

Books in the Catholic bible, not in regular bibles:
Tobit
Judith
Wisdom of Solomon
Sirach
Baruch
1 & 2 Maccabees

There's also additions to the book of Esther and Daniel.

Due to Catholic rituals and beliefs that are polar opposite to Christianity, I view it like someone who claims to be Christian but also practices Witchcraft. Can you be saved and do both?

Yes, the Protestant and Catholic canons differ — the books you listed (Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, 1–2 Maccabees, plus additions to Esther and Daniel) are part of the Septuagint tradition and were later affirmed by Rome, while the Protestant canon follows the Hebrew Masoretic tradition — but none of that determines whether a person can be saved.
Salvation is not tied to a canon list; it is tied to Christ alone.
The real question you’re asking is whether someone can claim Christ while practicing beliefs that contradict the gospel.
Scripture answers that with fruit‑language, not canon‑language: “A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit” (Matt 7:18), and “they profess that they know God, but in works they deny him” (Titus 1:16). Practicing witchcraft is explicitly condemned (Deut 18:10–12; Gal 5:20), and persisting in it without repentance is incompatible with following Christ.
But Scripture also warns us not to make blanket judgments about entire groups; God judges individuals by whether they repent, believe, and bear the fruit of the Spirit.
So the right biblical answer is: no one can cling to Christ and cling to practices He calls abomination, but any person — Catholic, Protestant, or otherwise — who turns from sin and trusts Christ alone is saved by grace, not by their tradition.

A very AI diplomatic answer. Would you add Satanism into the mix that can be saved? If the doctrine is the antithesis of salvation, then there's no way someone in that doctrine can be saved. That includes Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses into this mix. Both of whom, claim salvation.
 
A very AI diplomatic answer
“If you think these arguments came from a machine, then you haven’t read enough Scripture to recognize the fingerprints of a man who has lived in the text for decades; AI produces smooth sentences, but it cannot produce conviction, it cannot produce the weight of exegesis, and it cannot produce the kind of coherence that comes from wrestling with the Word until it shapes your bones — so if you’re accusing me of outsourcing my mind to a computer, the burden is on you to show where the argument breaks, because the only thing you’ve proven so far is that you don’t know how to distinguish polished language from lived theology.” So... You want the answer or not?
