the Christian conservative party (CDU) applies the principles of Christian democracy and emphasizes the "Christian understanding of humans and their responsibility toward God". However, CDU membership consists of people adhering to a variety of religions as well as non-religious individuals. The...

Honestly, I don't think it's a topic worth continuing to discuss. The history of the Catholic Church and all its atrocities is well known to everyone. They have distorted the mechanism for salvation, saying that works are necessary. They have not distorted the image of Jesus as such. I already...

Don't agree with the different gospels part but appreciate your reply. Roger

Actually, Roger, yes. I've shared Paul's Gospel with them, and they instead gravitated over to the Kingdom Gospel instead, harboring considerable confusions, thinking that works supplement their salvation rather than it being Christ alone, by grace through faith. They believe what the masses of...

You should stop making assumptions about me.

I never realized that I use that word that many times, I would agree it's most likely that I use the word multiple ttimes in one post. In no way am I supporting Roman Catholicism. I bring them up mainly because that word ties to the creed. Also because they were the first christian institution...

You're making a claim that's not true. I don't have 16 posts that mention Catholic. The only time I brought up Catholic is when it pertained to the nicene creed. I do have posts in other places where I have mentioned Catholic a few times because some of their old practices such as mortification...

The goal is already stated in the OP. What is your goal in trying to derail the topic? Sola scriptura means that it comes from the Bible that the Bible is the authority. The tale of Mary and the seven sorrows is in the Bible and this is the only place it is derived from. You are just simply...

Again, not purely from the RCC, Orthodox also contain this, and if you follow sola scriptura this should be acceptable as well to mainstream protestantism. Mainstream protestantism is defined as accepting the essential christian doctrines (ie: trinity, birth-life-crucifixion-resurrection of...

Again, I'm not here to discuss the Catholic faith or its dogmas. This isn't the place, this isn't the time for it. I'd also be breaking my agreement by coming to this site, because this is a site where I am to discuss the Bible. I also wanna point out. You started by attacking the Catholic...

You gave me a precious gem, I will cherish it and look deep into it thanks

I really admire you tenacity in seeking out the truth, nobody will pull the wool over your eyes if you continue doing what the Berrien's did after hearing the gospel preached. They went and searched the scriptures to see if those things are so. They weren't lazy or flippant about searching out...

. When I was a little boy, my mom taught me how to say the "lay me down to sleep" prayer. Later, in catechism, I was taught advanced versions of rote prayer like the Hail Mary, the Our father, the Act of Contrition, and Grace Before Meals. After converting to Protestantism, I discovered rote...

There is wisdom in this.

Likely, no two Christians agree absolutely on what the Bible teaches. Unless they belong to the same cult. I have not read all of Calvin or all of the Westminister confession in enough detail to be able to compare every minutiae in them. I think the writers themselves believed their confession...

All of the above are great examples of God allowing the tares to grow up with the wheat.

We are certainly a long way from achieving a unity of the faith. In answer to when is a Christian not a Christian? Before he has taken the Christian vitamin...B1.
