Why Are Catholics Treated Differently Here?

[Mariae]

Hi, I wanted to kindly speak up on something. I’ve noticed that if someone mentions Catholic beliefs, they’re often banned or warned. Meanwhile, other denominations—like Baptists, Methodists, and Pentecostals—are free to express their differences, even though they don’t always agree with each other either.
I understand why non-Christian beliefs like Islam might not be welcome on a Christian platform. That makes sense. But this is Christian Chat—not just Protestant Chat. Catholics are Christians too. So it’s hard to understand why respectful conversations from them aren’t allowed.
This isn’t about debating or stirring conflict. Just about fairness. If we truly want to be loving brothers and sisters in Christ, we should welcome all sincere Christian voices.
Thanks for reading and for everything you do to keep this place going.

Ultimately, Catholics are treated here no differently than any other denomination.
Any person who promotes heresy regardless of denomination is removed.
Any person who insists on dragging erroneous doctrine into almost every post ends up getting removed.

Just for example, KJV onlyists typically don't last long because most cannot discuss scripture without turning every thread they participate in into a debate about bible translations.

Many Catholics can't seem to participate without perpetually promoting the serious errors of the RCC. Honestly, I don't care if someone chooses to believe in Transubstantiation, but elevating Mary and church fathers (saints) to the level of Deity by promoting praying to them is a different story.

The very fact that there are denominations screams thereare different interpretations of the Word, for all claim to bhelieve the same Book, yet they need to cling to the doctrines of man.

Our Lord, Jesus, Yeshua, tells us each the faith we should be and follow, that being the faith of Abraham..

Personally, I love as family all who believe Jesus Yeshua, regardless of their human labled denomination, though sme are quite deceived, for now.

Whenever you find a place like this, that's not an echo chamber, that talks religion and politics you'll get debates and prejudice. People can be very opinionated about things they hold dear. Ill be the first to admit that i'm very opinionated too as a former Roman Catholic who Did this.<
Then I went on a quest for truth.
As such became opinionated as anyone here. I do try to keep in mind that I don't know it all, but God does.
Personally, I like to share good Bible truths with Buddhists, Muslims, Protestants, Catholics, Mormons, Agnostics, New Agers, Baptists and Evangelicals. We all need the Lord.
Someone cared enough to share the simple gospel with me, so I want to pass it forward.

If you are Roman Catholic, we already have a connection as a background. That said, I was compelled to leave it for reasons important to myself.
You'll not find many Catholics here though you are welcome as far as I'm concerned.

Catholics are not viewed by many as Christians on this site. Many here seem them more as a cult rather than a denomination.
And some think much worse than that about the Catholic Church.
I, for one, do not accept Catholicism as Christian, as a Protestant, myself.
The simple truth is there are too many doctrines taught by the catholic church that go against Protestant doctrines to be considered equal. Many things taught and practiced by the catholic church go flatly against Protestant teachings.
I am not one to sit and debate this. I've made up my mind, but many here are more than ready to.

Catholicism, believing in Christ, is a specific form Christianity. The word Christian comes from the Greek Christianos, meaning "follower of Christ." Catholics follow Christ, believe in His teachings, and worship Him as Lord—making them Christian by definition. Historical and linguistic facts don’t change based on opinions. I never came to argue with others, I came.here because I'm lonely, but on a protestant based site, honestly, nothing has gotten better. My mental health is killing me right now, im really struggling, and arguing about my faith wont help anything. We are Christian, thank you. May the Good Lord bless & keep you, Subhumanoidal. 💞

Believing in Jesus and worshipping Him as Lord are fantastic. However, many people and groups identify as Christian and claim to love and worship Jesus. But which Jesus is being worshipped: the true Jesus or an imposter? That's the question.

I am not going to say that our beliefs don't matter because they do matter a lot. However, whatever your beliefs are, you are a person who is struggling, and I would like to help if possible. Are your mental health issues solely related to loneliness, or is there something else going on? I cannot really help you with the loneliness part, unless you just need someone to chat with, but I might be able to offer you some advice if there are other issues involved. If nothing else, I could pray for you, but it would help if I knew a little bit more about what you are struggling with so my prayers might be more precise. I am not seeking to pry, but you seem like you are asking for help.

First, howdy and welcome to the forum.

Second, it depends a lot on how much you argue about what you believe. That's not what this place is supposed to be for. I mean... in the Bible Discussion Forum they do it a LOT, but that's not what the forum is SUPPOSED to be for. If you argue a lot about stuff that is recognized as heresy here, you will not do well. All you will accomplish is a lot of high blood pressure all around.

Personally I believe a few things that the majority here do not believe. But I don't argue about those things EVERY FLIPPING TIME I participate in threads here. And I've been here since 2014 and fared pretty well.

You could be an atheist and have quite a nice time here. Or you could be an atheist and start arguing every time somebody mentions God, and not do very well at all here. We have a few Catholics here and they seem to be quite nice people. But they don't argue about Catholic stuff every time they can make an opportunity for it.

If somebody told you this place was biased against Catholics, check his post history. (You can do that here, you know. You can get a long list of the posts a person made and the threads he made them in. Here's mine, for example. https://christianchat.com/members/lynx.203470/#recent-content ) I'd bet a lot, if I was a betting Lynx, that you will find it filled with arguments.

Looking like He has His Own as a small group inside each group of His Own.
Local RC churches as well as Protestant each seem to have a small group of Holy Spirit filled believers walking out His guidance for them.
Salvation isn't the goal and end of our Christian walk, it is the beginning, His command was to heal, cast out, cleanse, preach, etc. , not accept salvation and rest there.

When I look deeply into God's word, I find very little difference between the false teachings of the RCC and the false teachings of the protestant denominations...the only difference is here, one is minority and the other majority.

Lets show love to all brothers and sisters who know and glorify YHWH and trust in the sacred blood of Yeshua HaMashiach. We can reject false church doctrine, but never a believer. Catholic believers have not been treated kindly here.

False teachings? Seems it's either Biblical and Holy Spirit confirmed or it isn't.

.
My mother was Catholic. My aunt and uncle were Catholics, their son is a
Catholic, my eldest brother-- now deceased via cancer --was a Catholic
priest 50+ years and ended his career as a Friar. My father-in-law was a
Catholic, as was my mother-in-law. Everybody alive on my wife's side are
Catholics; her aunts and uncles, and her cousins. My sister-in-law was a
"religious" for a number of years before falling out with the hierarchy that
controlled her order.

I was baptized an infant into Roman Catholicism and anon enrolled in
catechism classes where I went on to complete First Holy Communion and
Confirmation.

One day at work, back in 1968, right out of the blue, a production designer
asked me if I was prepared for Christ's return. Well; I must've been either
asleep or absent the day that the nuns in catechism talked about Jesus
coming back because that man's question was the very first time in my
whole life that I can remember somebody telling me. I was 24 and hadn't a
clue what he was talking about.

My initial reaction was alarm because I instinctively knew that were I called
on the carpet for a face-to-face with Christ, it would not go well for me
because I had a lot to answer for. I don't like being made to feel afraid so I
became indignant and demanded to know why Jesus wanted to come back.
That's when I found out for the very first time that it was in the divine plan
for Christ to rule the world.

Then the designer asked me if I was going to Heaven. Well; of course I had
no clue because Catholics honestly don't know what to expect when they
pass away. I was crossing my fingers while in the back of my mind dreading
the worst.

Then the man said: Don't you know that Jesus died for your sins?

Well; I had been taught in catechism that Jesus died for the sins of the
world; that much I knew; but honestly believed all along that he had been a
victim of unfortunate circumstances. It was a shock to discover that Jesus'
trip to the cross was deliberate, and that his Father was thinking of me when
His son passed away, viz: my sins were among the sins of the world that
Jesus took to the cross with him.

At that very instant-- scarcely a nanosecond --something took over in my
mind as I fully realized, to my great relief, that Heaven was no longer an
impossible dream, rather, well within my grasp.

Long story short; I eventually went with that man to his church and, along
with him and a couple of elders, knelt at the rail down front and prayed a
really simple, näive prayer that went something like this;

"God, I know I'm a sinner. I would like to take advantage of your son's
death"

My prayer wasn't much to brag about; but was no doubt the smartest
sixteen words I'd ever spoken up to that time.

* Oddly, though I was confident that the Bible is a reliable authority in all
matters pertaining to faith and practice; I had never actually sat down and
read it until that production designer suggested I purchase a Bible of my
own and see for myself what it says; which eventuated in my departure from
the Roman church.

My time with the RCC wasn't a total loss. I have them to thank for instilling
within me an unshakable confidence that Jesus is a man of integrity and
someone to reckon with. Very early in my Catholic youth; I began to believe
that Christ knew what he was talking about and meant what he said.

Go to the family forum and people will be more to discuss with you vs argue religion. The BDF will still be arguing after Christ returns. Come to the family forum where the things are discussed that are bothering you. I'd hate to see you leave without being able to talk about how you're feeling. We aren't professionals mostly, but someone may be suffering or have suffered something similar and could talk things through with you. I hope you come over. <3

Gonna get red xs and my ears slapped on this one but Calvinists are totally the WORST for false doctrine and arguing here. Far worse than the Catholics. And here they come xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

I have RCC friends and I know what that currch teaches. What they teach and what some in the RCC belive arnt always the same. One sweet lady was raised catholic. The school and the whole nine yards. She hasnt been to mass in years. I talk to her all the time. She and I arnt far apart in what we believe. Jesus crucified and risen.
