protestants say catholics arnt christian, catholics say protestants kinda arnt?

Question

Basically its all the same if you ask me. Someone doesnt folloq my belief so I say they are wrong. They get mad and say I am wrong. Its what we did in second grade, only this time on a global scale. Think this will lead to anything?


P.S. Not all protestant/catholics just some

Answer 1

I have never, ever heard a Catholic say or imply that Protestants aren't Christian. Not ever.

I have however heard way too many Protestants say that Catholics aren't Christian. That one really makes me scratch my head.

Answer 2

The word Christian means Follower of Christ. In order to be a Follower of Christ, you need to acknowledge him as the Head of the Church because that is what is taught in the Bible.
The Catholic Church claims that the Pope is the head of the Church. Therefore by definition, Catholics cannot be considered Christians. The correct designations for Catholics is Paptist which means Follower of the Pope.
Also, the Catholic Church claims that their religion goes all the way beck to the original group of believers and that Peter was the first Pope. However, the idea of one person being Head of the entire Church didn't come into existence until four hundred years after Peter died. Therefore, he could not have been the first Pope.
In summary, Catholics are not Christians. They are using the name of Jesus as a marketing tool to promote their own religion.

Answer 3

I am a Catholic who used to be a Protestant.

When I was a Protestant, I was a Christian. I was baptized at 10. That made me a Christian. Anyone who is baptized with water in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit is a Christian. This includes most Protestants (some choose to vary the form of baptism) and all Catholics.

Catholics worship and follow the Faith of the Church. Protestants are Christians who are worshiping and following a faith outside of the Church. Catholics don't consider them non-Christian just lost Christians.

Yours in Christ Jesus, Grace

Answer 4

It's not quite like that. Catholics say they have the fullness of the Faith and give credit to the other denominations for having some of it, but Protestants say Catholics have none of the Truth and that we are going to Hell. It would be like Catholics receive pure Mother's milk and Protestants receive formula. Then Protestants turn around and say Catholics do not receive Mothers Milk but, they in fact drink poison. Which is the real Mother? (think Solomon)

Answer 5

At the time of end of days, God will probably slap us all up side of the head and tell us we were all idiots and that none of us got it right.

I grew up with a lot of Catholics. Some of the kids were scared they would die and go to hell because they came inside my church or forgot and ate meat on Friday. They were told that that belief was the only belief and all the rest of us were wrong. Seems like this new Pope wants to start al lthat again.

I grew up a Baptist and we invited everyone to our church. We did not discriminate. Everyone was welcome.

The craziness now days with religious views is why I don't believe in organized religion any more. I talk to God on my own and try to live a decent life. I'm certainly not going to tell my sins to someone who has probably sinned more than I ever would.

Answer 6

Catholics and Protestants are Christians. There are some differences in beliefs. As in the protestant denominations...I can think of maybe 15, and then there are differences in these, and the local churches in them, too. I don't believe everything that is preached. I check the scriptures myself. But the foundation needs to be the same... Jesus died for our sin. We need to accept Him as Lord to be saved.

Answer 7

Swift in Gulliver's Travels compared this to the Lilliputian dispute about whether to to crack an egg at the big end or the little end.

Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

Answer 8

It was ever thus...

It's like the old Tom Lehrer song....

"Oh, the Protestants hate the Catholics
And the Catholics hate the Protestants,
And the Hindus hate the Moslems,
And everybody hates the Jews."

Hey, I didn't write the song! Tom Lehrer did! One of the great satirists of our era!

Answer 9

specific, the Catholic Church became into and is the unique Christian Church. everybody with even a rudimentary information of historic previous knows that to be actual. There are historic records with regard to the Catholic Church and by utilising the Catholic Church, by utilising that call, in each and every century appropriate back to the earliest years of the 2d Century; and there is easily no historic checklist of the different Christian church present for greater advantageous than a million,000 years after Christ. meaning that the Catholic Church is the only Church based by utilising Jesus christ, and the only Church He ever meant to exist. different "Christian" church homes exist in open defiance of the stated will of God, "that all of them could be ONE"; and the doctrinal chaos that prevails between such artifical church homes is the consequence of leaving in the back of God's plan in prefer of mere human custom. Catholicism on my own is done and finished Christianity.

Answer 10

This is nothing new, the pope saying these things, the Catholic church has thought Protestants were infidels since the Protestant church was formed. And it is tit for tat from the Protestant church...
