To the protestants who give links to websites such as www.bible.ca?

Question

www.chick.com or www.jesus-is-savior.com

how accurate do you think these websites are? (they never state their sources)
I've checked out the websites and on catholic terms it seems that some of the things they preach against catholic doctrine is erroneous www.bible.ca even mis-quotes the early church fathers and claims that the letters of ignatius are all false which most scholars agree that they are authentic.

If you want to learn about catholicism why don't you try sites which actually teach what correct catholic doctrine is

www.scripturecatholic.com
www.catholic.com
www.fisheaters.com
or read a book about catholicism because most of you assume what is catholic doctrine while what you assume is wrong. Plus your pastor probally feeds you lies as mine did. If you learn the truth maybe you'll be lead to the church as I am now.

www.bible.ca is not the bible it's a baptist website
...

Protestants how bout try this if you are secure on your beliefs

Answer 1

yip using anti catholic publishings such as chick tracts and the websites you stated seem to be the norm. sadly alot of our seperated brothers and sisters in christ either ignore this or are unaware of it. they are ignorant of church history and the church that gave them the bible. the sites you listed are cool,i usually frequent them, a catechism of the catholic church would help them,even the bible when read properly is catholic. here are some sites you may enjoy aswell

www.salvationhistory.com(great free study section)
www.catholiceducation.org(great articles)
www.catholicism.about.org
www.ewtn.com

those that claim the catholic church is of satan need to rethink this, if that were the case then jesus would have left the world with a church ran by satan for 1500 years before he brought christianity to the world,this christianity would then be split into atleast 28,000 different sects,and he would have introduced the bible 1500years, does that sound logical?would the church ran by satan protect and keep the word of god alive instead of destroying it? the catholic church protected the bible,wouldn't make sense if the bible explicitly warns us of the dangers of evil and satan now does it.

Answer 2

Do you remember the guy that wrote "Joshua"? He was a former priest, retired, who refused to take the pension offered by the Church.

He was the one who stated the legalistic problem with the Catholic church. He wrote of a situation where the Church behaves abominably, and that is in the subject of marriage.

If a Catholic man marries a woman outside of the Church's laws, say at the justice of the peace's office, the Church does not recognize the couple as married. The man can live with the woman for 20 years, have a couple of kids, then walk away from the marriage in favor of his little secretary. He and the secretary can then go to the Church (assuming she's Catholic) and get married in the Church and have it be recognized and blessed by a priest.

Does that sound like God's plan?

Answer 3

Instead of letting a web site tell you what the truth is, Catholic or Protestant, or any person for that matter, go to the Truth itself, the Bible. There is a site, http://www.biblegateway.com , that has every translation you might want as well as some basic study tools. Choose the version you are comfortable with and let the Holy Spirit guide and teach you. It may be very eye opening.

All this is why Jesus didn't like organized religion and wanted us to follow Him, personally, as in a relationship. That can only come from reading His Word ourselves. As we do we do He opens insights to Him that pertain specifically to us, individually. If we let someone else do the reading for us it becomes someone elses relationship we are trying to live.

1 John 4:1 says test all things told to us so that we don't error in our belief. The only sure tool we have to use is the Bible to do that testing.

Note: Got to correct Avi Tech's comment on the Bible being changed. There is not a document on earth that compares to the accuracy of the Bible. Ancient transcripts and the Dead Sea Scrolls have proven this. Our modern translations like the NIV and NASB are taken directly from the original languages of those transcripts. Not to say that the translations are perfect to every word but what errors there may be have no impact on the meaning of any passage.

Answer 4

A wise person will look at all sides of the issue, or what is said to be spiritual truth. In college when you write a research paper you need to present both sides of subject. No one is ever 100% right (OK I know some of you are (sarcasm)). The best thing I ever learned is to be willing to be wrong. I visit all the sites that you listed and more. I don't let a group or individual determine my salvation anymore. Hell I even sometimes see the reasoning of atheists and know that some of what they hold is truth. At least they don't build big buildings that are under utilized and ask me to pay for it.

Answer 5

The Bible is a compilation of books. The Bible today isn't the same bible it was originally. Mankind got his greedy hands on it and tore out some pages here and there in order to gain control over believers.

Answer 6

I agree. i'm Catholic and that i do no longer say the rosary yet I carry Mary in intense honors. She is the human mom of God's in basic terms Begotten Son. What an honor to be called by God noticeably to hold His Son and elevate Him. there have been hundreds of Jewish young women that God might have called upon and He choose her. it quite is an honor and he or she could be commemorated. She remained sinless besides. She gave delivery to the Messiah and stayed with him till His loss of life and observed Him resurrected. Jesus cared plenty for her besides. He positioned her in the care of his fashionable disciple, John.

Answer 7

Christian Baptists.
We hold the Scriptures, the Old and New Testaments, as our Final Authority.
We accept No humanly devised confession or creed as binding.

Answer 8

How seriously should we take people who use comic books for theological education? If i were an atheist i would distribute Chick publications. Nonsense like that does more to promote disbelief than any atheist ever did.

Answer 9

I look at some of the links, but I still look to the Bible as the source of truth.

Answer 10

i agree with arewethereyet!
one of the reasons i left the Catholic Church.
