Should I be worried?

Question

I am a protestant, raised Cathiolic. A lot of the people I know are Catholics. A lot of protestants bad mouth the catholic faith, but when you ask for help only the catholics come through. The protestants attack you and blow you off. I know this from personal experience since I work a lot with charities and people who need help, the priests will say we welcome you and collect money in church, the protestant churches say we will call you back. I just collected $180,000 for this girl and 99% was from the Catholics. Should I be worried

I know Christians and a lot of people that say they are christians but they don't act like it. The persons family I talked about is mormon.

Thank you Fish Gurl, I noticed that. I do all this for free and in my spare time. But Jesus tought me the way and it hurts when my brothers don't feel that it is important, and they use Jesus to feel superior.

Mypublicydent:
I would like to get few examples when this happened.

Thank you Cabana C.

Answer 1

You will know them by their fruits; trust your heart. But rememeber that religion is from the egos of men, not Christ, who transcends religion but includes all people regardless of whether they have religion or not.

Someone who has actually died to their ego (worldly self) will embody Christ all the time; experiencing firsthand conscious oneness with him in thought word and deed. Their fruits will speak a lot louder than their words. Catholics are Loved by God as much as Protestants -- and He has no preference in awakening one over the other to His ever abiding Grace. Those who knock on the inner door to eternity...with a true heart ready to surrender all darkness....WILL be recieved by God. God has NO preference for one organization or belief system over another. Christian, Atheist, Jew, Muslim, Wiccan, Hindu, Buddhist or Satanist or whatever! God loves all equally and plays no favorites whatsoever when one of His beloved children come home to Him.

God Bless

Answer 2

Why would you worry? You met the goal. It's still Christian. I remember a lot of your past questions are based on anti-believe. You seem to be angry at God for the evil in this Earth.
Why don't you come back to the Universal Faith? Paul asked that we be on the same sheet of music. That's why we have the Vatican and Holy See. That's why the same Mass will be done in Rome as it will be in Upland California, three times a day. You know the fundamentalist protestant believes the Bible literally except the things the Catholics take literally. It wasn't changed until about 1200 or so years after the Catholics began. I ask again, why would Christ start a religion, found his Church on 'The Rock' but that religion not start until 1200 years later? I don't think so. The Catholic faith accepts all Christian based religions. We are the only ones who has the sacrament of reconciliation through confession. What does a protestant do to come back from backsliding as we will do? Remember that Christ said, "What you forgive on Earth is forgiven in Heaven." That's why we go to Priests for confession. We don't think they're God or more than God. When we confess we're asking God vocally to forgive us and then the Priest represents the man side and forgives us. Do we not believe the words of Christ?

Answer 3

I beleve the reason some people broke off of Catholosism is because they want to beleave in God without commitment, and we all know there is committment. I am Catholic, and I have alot of protestent friends, and they are good people. Plus, Catholics are more likley to donate money and time to things, like charities.

Answer 4

Be worried, no. Identify and rectify? What can you do to change this attitude amongst your bretheren?

If you had more proof - some sociological studies to present to your church or whole series of churches perhaps then you can ask your fellow protestants to up the anti???


Good luck with that.

Answer 5

No. It is just a sad commentary on the local body of Christ that they have abandoned the precept of charity. Pray for them, and forgive. Move on and keep doing the work that God has placed your hand to. Keep up the good fight.

Answer 6

Being protestant or a catholic worries me. How could anyone follow a god that murders and then says "thou shall not kill". If you follow something that doesn't follow their own rules, what does that make you?

Answer 7

I sounds to me like you don't know any Christians.

This I believe; http://homelessheart.com/testimony.htm

Answer 9

Don't worry....Be happy.

Answer 10

good work.
