[indent]Of course. One God, One Christ, One Body - the One True Church, One Faith, One Baptism, One Holy Spirit, One Truth and so on and so forth. And This One True Church is ......The Roman Catholic Church? or Any other Protestant Church? or Your Church?[/indent]

I don't have a church, I don't need one....I'm an athiest.

[indent]Okay. So you do not believe that there is God. Let us discuss it in another thread - Please create a new topic. Tell it to us, why?[/indent]

I don't have anything useful to contribute really, just saying that I'm really enjoying the dialogue going on in this thread. Keep it up!

[Galloglasses]

Enjoying it as in entertaining, or in a usefulness sense? Or both?

[indent]Zigga,

Since you want to prove that your Church is the True Church of Christ, please put your argument here[/indent]

Why do these ancient threads not stay dead?

[indent]Because someone says is his/her Church is the One True Church. Therefore, I invited him/her to prove it here. If no one will not claim it, we will not discuss it. Okay? '[/indent]

Or you really seem to like digging up these relics.

[indent]well sort of. So that nobody should be proud of their Church (protestant or Catholic). [/indent]

I don't see how pride is related to being in a Church. I'm grateful.

Jesus Christ founded only ONE Church and left a man called Peter in charge. When he died someone else took over and its been that way for almost 2000 years. No institution in the history of the world has lasted that long. Kings and queens, governments and indeed whole civilizations have come and gone, but the Catholic Church has remained. If thats not miraculous - nothing is.

[indent]I am glad, you are grateful in your religious life. Although, someone in protestant side will say the same thing ‘I am grateful being a member of my Church’. If only there is neither Catholics nor Protestants but simply ‘Christian Church’ then both of you are grateful and at that one Church. But pride comes when anyone of you will say ‘My Church is the True Church of Christ leaving behind Other Churches as if they are not Church of Christ too.[/indent]

You are mistaken Reyb.

This is not to do with pride.

if that was the case this thread would have been long done by now. We state reasons, historical and scriptual of why we hold the Catholic Church to be true and denounce the others.

If we as you say, overlook the serious differences and disagreements we have with eachother and simply unite into One Church, (which for some reason you don't think thats what everyone here wants the rest of them to unite with us), irrespective of the serious disagreements, then we are giving the Bible, God, jesus, the Holy Spirit and His message a great big ol' slap in the face, because we are prioritizing unity before Truth.

This is why the Protestants are not game on your suggestion either. We cannot unite until these serious disagreements are resolved. Otherwise, if we just unite, it will only result in a Balkanisation of the Church.
