PedroX Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Mateo, Welcome to Phatmass! Thanks for the scripture. I guess it does refer to Christ as our friend, if conditionally. I guess I was focusing on the "chummy" aspect of the phrase "best friend". Interesting to note that not only is the "friendship' conditional on our works, but also He contrasts it with slavery. peace... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Wednesday Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 [quote name='Mateo el Feo' date='Aug 27 2003, 11:33 PM'] As a Catholic, the idea of being in friendship with Our Lord is quite normal; but when I hear it phrased as above ("...my best friend"), it just sounds like "Barney the Purple Dinosaur" theology. That's just me, though. [color=purple][b]"I love you, you love me..."[/color][/b] [/quote] God bless you, Mateo. I see I'm not the only one that feels this way. I don't care for Barney Theology, either. I want my faith to be [b]sacred[/b]... kna' what I mean? For some reason "personal relationship with Jesus and as my best friend and Lord and Savior" and all that I really cannot relate to. To me this kind of friendlyspeak Christianity is just way too saccharin sweet and I just can't swallow it, making me wonder if something's wrong with me. I guess being raised Catholic in the way I was, it's foreign to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norseman82 Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Actually, it's probably a result of differing terminology. Catholics use terms like "interior life" or "spiritual life" to essentially describe the same thing as "relationship with Jesus". There is a personal aspect an a communal aspect.
