Protestants...no offense but do you have a problem with the divinity of Christ?

Good thoughts.  I think we protestants under value Mary.  Much of what you are referring to is ignorance about what Catholics truly believe about Mary, prayer and the saints.

I don`t agree with John McArthur`s teaching but I also try not to call someone a heretic especially a sincere human being who is interested in God. Every study helps us to understand better the will of God. Maybe this quoting will help> "The law was never given as a means of salvation but it will always be the standard of Christian living" - Ellen White.\nIt is hard to understand were God works and were we have to do something...We confess our sins, God forgives us, we try not to sin but we are weak, God strengthens us....Maybe you should study more..because the problem is more complex.

There's really no way to answer a question like this one is there?  When it comes to guilt, it's easy to look at members of another faith and blame them for things without looking at your own faith and its shortcomings.  I don't feel that any one faith is more guilty than any other. Yes, just about every faith known to man has had issues throughout history, but we can't beat the same old dead horse and keep bringing them up. If all we've learned from that is how to place guilt squarely on the shoulders of the other guy, we're really missing the point.

I'm non-denominal..I don't like what denominations stand for. In the bible God says do not divide.

This is a specifically Catholic belief and involves the conception of Mary, not Jesus.  I believe that most Protestants (only know for sure about Baptists, though), do not subscribe to that belief

Christans are OK with their own graven images. It's YOURS that they have a problem with... ;)

Almost all important doctrine is completely agreed upon between Catholic Christians and most other Christians. \n\nThere are some minor doctrine issues and some major cultural and traditional differences which, I believe, do not matter that much.\n\nWith love in Christ.

I am a Christian as well but I honestly dont see anything wrong with it. If two people love each other they should eb able to express it how they please, no matter what the orientation or preference is.

I agree with everything but the notion of a sentient god / universe.\n\nEdit:\n\nWhy would I get a thumbs down for my opinon? ... must have been a christian.

I agree with you completely.\nI do not overrule Christ in my life.\nI consider myself a Christian and try to spread the Gospel whenever I can.\nI'm working on a project with my friend to help Christians in need in other countries and to pray for those who are doing the horrible things to those Christians.\nBut yeah, I want to know why people don't try to see and how they exactly think man-kind came to be without God.\nThis confuses me.

I was brought up Catholic from birth and was brainwashed into believing what I was taught as teachings from the Bible. I have always believed and honored my spirituality in God, but too many years of it was not based in His Word.  \n\nLuckily, I was led to the Bible & I have been trying to sort out the Truth from the lies. It's a hurtful issue that I am working hard to overcome and find acceptance with. I am very confused, and somewhat bitter as well, but, at the same time, am I VERY thankful for the wonderful people here who share their knowlegde with beginners like me and are helping me along.  That in itself defines truth Faith in God to me and the power of believing he always there for you if you seek him.   Thank You everyone.

Other people dont understand the question. Its more like this....\n"Whats the difference between Catholics and (Protestant) Christians?"\n\nCatholics pray to Mary and the Saints even though Jesus said the only way to the Father is through Him. (Catholics also use priests as a link between God and man, therefor replacing Jesus' role.)\n\nCatholics think that the bread and wine is the literal body and blood of Jesus Christ being sacrificed over and over again every week even though Jesus died ONCE so that all sins would be forgiven.\n\nCatholics have statues of Mary, Joseph, Jesus, and the saints despite the second commandment saying that we shall not have any image of that which is in heaven or on earth.\n\nCatholics deal with the last problem by leaving out that commandment and splitting the last one (thou shalt not covet) into two parts...thou shalt not covet thy neighbors wife and thou shalt not covet thy neighbors possessions.\n\nCatholics have added books to the Bible that were viewed as erroneous for hundreds of years.\n\nThere are more but those are a few.\n\nProtestants are called Protestants because they are protesting the errors of the Catholic Church.\n\njudge by ur self

Of course I believe in God, silly boy. I just don't choose to be Christian. I'm a Non Denominational Happy Pagan Person. God and I keep organized religion out of our relationship. It simplifies matters greatly.

I do not disagree with your "challenge".  At times I find myself wondering if I am ignoring Jesus' advice in Matthew 7:06 ("Do not cast your pearls before swine").  I think it is okay for a Christian to get a little emotional in their defense of the faith...as long as it doesn't cross the line to an uncontrolled anger.\n\nAre our words falling on deaf ears?  Maybe they are hardened "reprobates" and they only come here to be "a thorn in the side". But maybe, just maybe, deep inside they come to this page because they know that they might be wrong...

Absolutely not. That's ridiculous. I think there's a LOT they don't understand. I'm the only Christian one in my family, if I was intellectually lazy I wouldn't believe in God at all, just like them.

u tell them that they r getting hung-up on terminology we all have a biological father, then there is God the source of all goodness and creation, why stress yourself over something like that? or them for that matter? if you accept  Jesus Christ as the savior why are they upset with you? im Protestant and i never had a problem with Catholics because we are all on the same team
