Catholics believe that Jesus Christ died for their sins. So that is enough under evangelical belief to be Saved or Born Again.

The differences are aroud everything else.

So if evangelicals are right then Communion, Confirmation, confession etc are not true sacraments.

But the Catholic believes that Jesus died for their Sins and seeks to earnestly follow and give their life to him. so they go to heaven if the evangelicals are right and the catholics are mislead.

However the other way around, if the Catholics are right then the evangelicals are pretty much out of luck as they havent had the sacraments to administer Gods grace into their lives.

under either scenario the catholic comes out ok, only under the evangelical viewpoint does the evangelical come out ok.

Believing things evangelicals think are wrong do not seperate you from christ by their own teachning. so if you go to confession for them it just means noting positive or negative.

It seems like life would just be easier for atheists if they accepted God.

It must be hard to be an atheist and not be able to go into direct sunlight without bursting into flames. If I could only leave my house at night I'd be mad at God too.
Also, atheists cannot touch holy relics such as a bible or cross without their skin starting to sizzle. It must also be difficult for atheists to constantly be worried about accidentally drinking holy water, because it is like a Christian drinking cyanide.
And doesn't it bother you guys that people are always staring at you because of your pointy ears and fangs?
The most difficult thing about being an atheist, though, must be the reliance on human blood for survival. It just seems like such a hassle to constantly be finding human blood to drink.

In light of all these difficulties atheists face in today's society, do any of you think it would just be easier to be a fundamentalist?

Hi,
I'm 15, and I was just thinking about all the time in my past that I should've spent differently; and have decided that I am going to change:
(give me any advice you have!)
ps- i know this is going to sound cheesy to you, but that's okay ;) ...read on

I feel a change within my soul. I'm excited to jump and fall, because from each and every fall; I will learn something new...And that is exciting in itself! I want to be touched deep within my spirit; and touch others as well. I wish to take no one, or thing; for granted. I want to look to the Lord. I want to stand an gaze at his wonders. Fall into the stars rapt in awe. I'm deciding right now to do my absolute best in all circumstances. I am the only thing I have, to make me step forward. I choose not to whittle my life away. I don't know my purpose, but I plan to put myself in the best place; so that I may live it out ...So, PLEASE say something; make my head spin, my soul dance, my imagination laugh; and we will live it out!

Did you actually do work, or did you have another mode of procrastination?

I used to read news stories updated by the minute, mainly world stuff on BBC. Once in awhile I'd read the laymen commentary on USA Today but that usually just made me mad.

My theory is based on the following
Census stats show that black women have higher obesity rates than white women
Black women have higher disability rates than white women.

Just speaking on personal experience: white women are more passive and supportive.

So that's my theory about why white men and black women don't mix. anybody have any input?

Our CFO is leaving today. He's not at all liked around the office by anyone, however the department notified us this morning that they would be having a going away lunch for him today. It was communicated verbally that we were expected to attend.

We were informed several hours later that we are also expected to "pitch in" $3-$5 toward the cost of lunch.

We had no notice of this lunch, I had alternate lunch plans which I've broken since my attendance is expected, but is it ethical to ask me to pay for a lunch for this man I didn't respect either personally or professionally AFTER demanding that we show up?

Should I pay for the lunch or politely excuse myself from that, since I had no notice?

The need to see to believe??
The poor people that were crossing the bridge never in thier wildest dreams thought they were going to cross that bridge, tumble down into the ocean and drown in thier cars. (God Bless the people who have suffered this tragic event)

Most people know we have a climate that is changing that can kill us but they don't worry until it strikes them, we know death and destruction can happen when we least expect it to, so do you prepare yourself with the Lord? knwoing whatever devastation might come about you are ready to meet the Lord or see his return to earth?

I am on a roll today.

Evangelicals believe that if I truely accept Jesus sacrifical death and resurection I am born again. (I have done this)
Nothing can seperate me from Christ and as I follow him he changes me to be more like he wants me to be. Some believe that you can loose this others that it is set in eternity and past and future sins are absorbed by christ on the cross.

Catholics believe that Jesus died for our sins and this grace is received through Baptisim, Receiving the Holy Spirit, Confirmation etc. It is a complete work, we confess our sins and are forgiven (as jesus said who you forgive I do etc) Then when I die any sins that are on my spirit are finaly removed by Jesus death on the cross - this is called purgetory and after this happens I enter heaven.

Both are very similar, both involve following Christ. Both are faith alone.

The evangelical way does seem a lot easier and safer but not as biblical when you break it down. How can I know what way is right.
