hey kak :)

Answer 1

lnfrared Loaf,
I can't speak for all non Catholic Christians, but this Protestant thinks that a future Pope will be the False Prophet. He will be able to get people to take the Mark of the Beast, where the Antichrist will have had trouble with that. So the Pope today might be him, but might not. It depends on who is Pope around the time of the Rapture.

As far as hating Catholicism I wish to make a distinction. i don't hate Roman Catholics, but I do hate Catholicism. It has been responsible for allowing many to go to their death without Jesus Christ, and having them thinking that they are saved. I found it most common for Catholics to believe that they have to be good to be saved.

Udder Bovine Scatology!

Answer 2

There are so many different kinds of non-Catholic Christians, and they believe so many different things, that you can't possibly generalize about what they think of the Pope, or how they feel about Catholicism. Personally, I'm a non-Catholic Christian, I don't hate Catholicism, and I don't think the Pope is connected o the antichrist.

Answer 3

I dont hate catholics. I do not think the pope is connected to the anti christ.

However, I do not believe nor agree with the things that the Catholic church teaches. I will tell you why....

At one time, part my family was catholic. An uncle was dying and the priest was called in to give him his last rights. The family was asked to leave the room for this. They did, but left the door propped open just a bit so that they could listen in. But, instead of hearing the final rights, they heard the priest tell the uncle to forget everything that the Catholic Church had taught him and to just hold on to Jesus death on the cross to enter heaven.

Needless to say,that part of my family was not Catholic after that.

Answer 4

No. As an Anglican who is married to a Roman Catholic, I rather obviously do not hate Catholicism or its practitioners. Moreover, I do not believe that Pope is the Antichrist.

Answer 5

You seem to be making generalizations about non-catholic and catholic christians. Within in large group of people, you are bound to discover some that harbor ill will or suspicion of others not based on fact but conjecture. Hate for Catholics and the Pope hardly seems christian. But realistically, there are probably a very small percentage of people that consider themselves 'Christians' that hate the Pope and the Catholic Church. None of whom could probably tell you factually why.

Answer 6

As I can't speak for all Christians, I'll speak for myself. I don't hate catholicism, and I don't know of any connection to the antichrist and the pope.

Answer 7

WOW, No. Well I can't answer for all Christians. BUT, that is NOT a Christian viewpoint. If you have someone who says that Christians think that, then they're not following the right line of thinking. Christians aren't to hate anyone, and we won't know the anti-christ until it's fully revealed to all of us. The Catholic church may teach some things that are biblically incorrect, but then again, so do many churches. Fact is, it's not up to the churches, it's up to Christ and the Catholic church still follows him as the Son of God.

Answer 8

We who are Christian but not Catholic generally do not agree, even hate, the practices of the Catholic church, but we do not hate the people in Catholicism.

"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly realms." -Ephesians 6: 12

To those who hate the Catholic along with the practices, you are focusing your hate on the wrong enemy.

As far as the pope is concerned, there is nothing other that suggestion or speculation that makes him equal to the antichrist. As far as connection is concerned, that is something that only the time will tell...

Regardless, we ought to be concerned with our own salvation before concerning ourselves with the wrongs that others do...

Answer 9

Christianity split from the Catholic church in the 1600's when Martin Luther nailed a letter on the door of the local church in Germany naming many traditions that are in direct contradiction to the message of the scriptures. Hatred is the wrong word. We Protestants are dubious of the teaching of the Catholic church. Our views of Catholics is that most of them have not formed a relationship with the living God because the church doesn't encourage them in this way. I don't think all Catholics are evil and I certainly don't hate any Catholics. Their morals closely align with my own as do Mormons' and Jehovah's Witnesses', but I would attempt to lead them into this relationship with the living God. This will never be accomplished by persecution or hatred.

I have an entirely different view of Islam because the most popular religious and political leaders are spewing hatred and murder toward entire nations and faiths. You can't respond to a murderous spirit with open arms and a winning smile. You have to protect yourself and your family. Since Jesus said to turn the other cheek, does this mean I should be a doormat to anybody who wants to abuse me? If you think so, ask yourself why Jesus told Peter to carry his sword while traveling? You have to study the Bible to understand the context is which these things are spoken.

Answer 10

It's not true for me, but there are many people who claim to be Christians who do not quite get the message right. The Catholics themselves have added some things, like saint-worship and self serving doctrines that do not line up with the original Bible (God's true word), which is why they are frowned upon by many groups. That and their political and financial focus which takes away from the focus on worshiping God, which is where our hearts should always be.
