I have never felt at home in Protestant churches except some Episcopal churches but US Episcopal is now pretty un-Biblical in their views of social issues. I really dislike the evangelical liturgy of a pop rock concert followed by a fifteen minute motivational speach. I much prefer the Catholic Mass because of the reverence, tradition and more meditative service. The fact they focus the service around Communion not around the preacher's message seems more meaningful as well. I also have a problem with the grape juice and crackers as only a metaphor when Catholics use wine and bread that are the body and blood like in the authentic Last Supper. Lastly, I like how the Catholic Church doesn't change with the times. It seems less about individual interpretation and more about the traditions that have been passed down from the original Church set up by Peter with Jesus' authority.
I'd just like feedback from Christian brothers and sisters of both the Catholic and Protestant traditions.

Traditionally, there are certain beliefs which the church has recognized as heretical. Would you be open to the idea that you could be wrong about a belief that you now hold if it meant that you would deemed a heretic? Ultimately, if you looked at the Bible in a new light and saw that a traditional cardinal belief of the Christian faith was not something that was being clearly taught, would you believe it?

In the Koran the whole mankind is divided as believers (Musalman) and non-believers (Kafirs). He has also urged the Muslims to join the Jihad as Mujahidin to kill the Kafirs and be rewared in the paradise (Jannat). Is it not what the Al Qaida derives from the Holy Koran?

People who know me generally believe I am not more moral or less moral than others. In another word, I am NOT morally different from most people.

btw, I'm a Christian, a new Christian though, and I know God makes the final judgement on my character, but how about people's opinions on me, also important I think.

fear of the unknown, death, problems and the uncertainity of life has made humans hide for cover behind religion. why not wean ourselves off religion and face life and death in a brave manner?

Purely hypothetical. If God were portrayed as a woman in the Bible (I know he's not) do you think you would take the Bible as seriously? Do you think others would take it as seriously?

The bible is filled with people who received messages from angels who spoke for God. Have any of you communicated with, or seen an angel? If so, please explain. Also, are angels always around us? If so, what are they doing when someone is brokenhearted and hurting for long periods? This question is for Christians who have faith and trust in God, regarding angels sent by the Lord, not demonic angels.

there are many things in the Bible I don't agree with. I have only been to church 2 times in my life (I am 20). I believe the good go to heaven and the bad go to hell basically. Is it sinful to not agree 100% with Christanity, yet consider yourself to be one?

It has overgone its meaning, its simple "love god and love your neighbor". What is so hard to comprehend about it?! seriously, christians will critisize you, even try to convert you! when they should just spread gods work instead of changing the way people live and gossiping. I swear i have not seen any person gossip more then a christian! not joking!

And Non-Muslims: what do you think about both of them?!

I just want to know what you think about them.
You are free to say whatever you wish.
Just don't cross the line!
