Dusty Fro Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 I hope you're just being dorky. Why can't Protestants unite....with Catholics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloysius Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 as soon as they unite with Catholics (fully unite, not just partially) then they'll be Catholics as well! in that sense there's no way protestants can fully unite with Catholics, it ain't possible. as soon as they stop protestin Catholic Doctrine, they're Catholic! wooohoo! but we kan unite imperfectly. perfect union will only come when we all hold the same Apostolic Faith.

Anna Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 [quote name='P3chrmd' date='May 26 2004, 01:26 AM'] I just love being a part of the ONE TRUE CHRISTIAN CHURCH THAT JESUS ESTABLISHED! It makes you feel good don't it fellow catholic...as for you mulls....feel bad VERY BAD that you are a part of a church created because one man (MARTIN LUTHER ) didn't like Indulgences or Salvation with works! WOW THATS SAD...that we have this big seperation just because of one man...one ugly man might I add...have you seen drawings of him...quite plump he was GOD BLESS ALL GODS CHILDREN STILL LOVE MY PROTESTANT FRIENDS AND FAMILY In Christ through Mary, Brandon V. [/quote] I must agree with Brandon. Catholicism is a gift from Christ Himself to His people. Martin Luther ruined that gift for thousands upon thousands of people who now only recieve partial truths about Jesus. though they ardently love what they know of Him. Would that they would all have the benefit of His Sacraments! Would that they would come to know and love His Mother, eat His Body, drink His Blood, share in the glories of the martyrs and the lives of the saints! Darn that Martin Looser...errr Luther. P. S. Mulls can check out, but he can never leave. Welcome to the Hotel Phatmass!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Adam Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Anna, Had the Church leadership never gone curropt, chances are, Luther never would have lifted a finger in protest. I suggest "Roots of the Reformation" by Karl Adam (Catholic Scholar). It's less than 100 pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said the Church leadership did. And the leadership is still corrupt, and it will be until the leadership stops being human. But the Holy Spirit leads these currupt peeps so that the Church teachings are not in error. Luther's big mistake was protesting the Church. He could have simply continued to protest the leader, while remaining faithful to the Church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Buddy, you need to learn a bit more about your faith and how to express the truths of the faith a little more eloquently. We aren't saved by 'salvation by works' - we're saved by faith [b]working[/b] in love (Galatians 5:6) and sustained by hope (Hebrews 11:1). It's all one big continuum. The works aren't added from outside, they proceed forth from the Faith. We love the Lord our God with all our hearts, and all our minds, and all our souls, and all our strength, and [b]as a result[/b], we love our neighbor as ourselves. It is THIS faith - a living faith, a faith that works, that saves. Not "Faith + Works = Justification" The doctrine you offered a second ago is not Christianity, it is semi-pelagianism.
