FiZzGiG Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Hey guys!! Okay, well I'm a Switchfoot fan... I like em alot So I joined the message boards for their Sony website Well, there's a section called "What do you believe?" Can you see where this is going? Anyway, someone asked the difference between Christianity and Catholicism, and it turned into this big fat argument between Catholicism and Protestantism. I've been trying to defend and rep the Church, but I haven't learned enough and don't know enough Church history and scripture reference to fully defend the faith. So I'm puttin the link down, and maybe some of ya'll can check it out and help me out a bit. [url="http://forums1.sonymusic.com/eve/ubb.x?q=Y&a=tpc&s=8581093&f=405105313&m=9331021531&p=2"]Sony - Switchfoot Music Forum[/url] The main thing I'm focusing on is 4Christ's argument against the Church. Some of it is just plain wrong. And I can say what we as Catholics believe, but I have no direct scripture reference (which is what they'll probably want) so I'm not puttin anything down. Help guys. I gotta rep the Church and the pham!!!! ~Kerry~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiat_Voluntas_Tua Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 AHHH!!! there are Catholics on that site that are saying the Holy Communion is just symbolic....LORD HAVE MERCY! We need to stop the falcity! STOP THE TRUTH DECAY! Totus Tuus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thy Geekdom Come Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Start by having this guy pic one topic at a time...he's being too broad and expecting something from you that is not impossible (our theology will beat his arguments) but would just take way to much of your time to explain. He'll be more likely to fix on one topic at a time (and you can cover them all, but cover them one at a time or at least in different threads) if you let him pick the topic.

FiZzGiG Posted November 2, 2004 Author Share Posted November 2, 2004 Ya, that's what I was thinkin. Each one is just too broad. If he really wants a thought out argument, he's gonna get a LOOONNNNGG post. "AHHH!!! there are Catholics on that site that are saying the Holy Communion is just symbolic....LORD HAVE MERCY! We need to stop the falcity! STOP THE TRUTH DECAY!" Haha! I know!!! I saw that and SPAZZED! It was mainly this one girl who was convinced that you could think it was symbolic and still be Catholic *cough*sacrilege*cough*. I told her otherwise in the kindest way possible, but she just wouldn't accept it. It kinda... well it broke my heart! A "Catholic" not being Catholic! Of course I can still pray! Okay I gotta pick some of these topics to argue. Later peeps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatcatholic Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 (edited) fizzgig, you may want to point out that the Eucharist is in fact a symbol.........but it is also literal. so, meet your wayward Catholic where she is and lead her to a literal interpretation as well as a symbolic one.

FiZzGiG Posted November 5, 2004 Author Share Posted November 5, 2004 [url="http://forums1.sonymusic.com/eve/ubb.x?a=frm&s=8581093&f=405105313"]Switchfoot - Sony Music Boards[/url] I've been posting on: "the difference between..." and "Body and Blood, or symbolic Bread and Wine?" The argument has been fairly civil But for real, the guy I'm arguing with is being a "good sport" The problem is that we're both firm in our beliefs, so neither of us will budge! I'm thinking we're gonna come to a mutual agreement to love God and stick to our beliefs. But we'll see... maybe there'll be a conversion... ~Kerry~ Oh ya, I noticed that someone said "way to go man" or something. Just to clear it up: i'm a girl. Yall might've known that, but I get mistaken for a guy a lot, b/c there's really no indication in my screenname that I'm a girl. I get paranoid about it... I know you weren't actually like calling me a "man." I know the slang geniuses! So erm.. ya.... female. CHEERS! ~Kerry~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
