Answer 1

Hi, i am a teen who is using my mom's profile cuz I dont have one.
I have found that the only thing you can really trust is the Bible. If you read and follow the Bible you will be in the will of God. As you have seen in other peoples posts on that website, every one thinks their religion is the best, only you can make that decision for yourself.
Find a church that follows what is said in the Bible. Study through your preacher's sermon, check what he says against what is said in the Bible. Dont be afraid to switch churches if you find that yours does not line up with the Bible.
Dont believe in the religion, believe in what lines up with the Bible.
The Bible, the whole Bible, and nothing but the Bible, so help me God.

Answer 2

I just took a brief look at the site, but it seems his main argument is with the catholic church. I can understand that somewhat since religion doesn't get you to God, relationship does and sometimes the catholic church is pretty weak on that. This guy's got alot of information on his site, but the main thing to be concerned about is have you actually repented or turned away from your old life and trusted in your heart that Jesus died for your sins. You can have mental assent or know in your head, but this is a heart commitment.

If you have done this and doing your best to let Him have sontrol over you life, day to day, changing from "glory to glory", do not let some website spook you.

Answer 3

Don't believe everything you read on the Internet. Check it out in the Scripture. The Catholic church has been saying this for years. Everybody thinks they are the true church these days.

Salvation is open to everyone. You can't inherit it, knowing about Jesus is not enough, no one is good enough, you can't take credit for it, knowing the Bible is not enough, obeying the law does not bring salvation, it is all about Jesus.

Jesus is the only way. Submission, forgiveness, repentance and accepting the free gift of salvation through faith in Jesus.

Answer 4

I posted something like this before. The Catholic church believes that you cannot be saved outside of the Catholic church. This is blasphemy! There are other Christian churches, like Landmark Baptists, who say that they are the true church of Christ. This is also blasphemy! They are all wrong! The Bible clearly states that Christ's Church is spiritual. It is made up of all believers on earth. It is not a building or an organization, but it is the body of believers. It is the Body of Christ. It is spiritual!

Answer 5

so what doubt you have,

christianity make up 33% of the world religion , its about 2 billion people.

this 2 billion people further split up into several doctrines in which it's further split up into hundres of denomination.but all believe that as long as you believe in jesus and have faith you are definitely saved.

each doctrines usually call the other as non-christian . so no matter which church you join, there are other christians that label your church as non-christians.

seriously why let it bother you ? i seriously don't understand why would i join a religion when they are doing such thing. they claim catholic pope to be a non christian . i believe to be a catholic pope , he has more knowledge then anyone else about the bible. sure they did certain stuff that arent in the bible , but the basic knowledge is there, its just the interpretations.

it all just boil down to interpretation of the bible. and how well the pastor of each church burn them into your brain.

so as long as you agree with the interpretation given to you and it make sense to you logically , then it's fine.

Answer 6

The Vatican secretly ordered the September 11 attacks on the WTC, Pentagon and Pennsylvania. Rome maintains and operates all the terrorist training camps in the world. How can the world leaders be so naive to think that they operate out of Afghanistan. Afghanistan is one of the poorest countries in the world, and does not have the resources to carry out a plan of this magnitude. Money has been funnelled from the Vatican, which controls all the money in the world. It also controls a lot of the world governments, including the United States, which is why president George W. Bush is blaming the Taliban and Osama bin Laden as fundamentalist Muslims. Not that it makes any difference. The Islamic religion was created by the Jesuits. They are so crafty; Ignatius of Loyola was able to write the Quran some 900 years before he was even born. Osama bin Laden and Mullah Mohammed Omar are secretly Jesuits. Where did they get all that money? Nobody gets that rich from a construction business. They are going around wreaking havoc in the civilized world. It was one of them that attacked the Greyhound bus driver and another that shot down that Russian plane. They are doing it so everyone will get hopeless and confused, so they can come in and take over. Also, I might add that Jerry Falwell is a Jesuit also. How else can a so-called Christian make such an insensitive remark? So is Tony Blair and George W. Bush, because they said that they are declaring a war on terrorism, not on Islam. I could write more on this, but I have to get back to my Jack Chick comic books.


We need to pray that the anti-Catholic bigot will be given a greater share in the true faith. He is usually filled with much anger and hate. He can only measure his own religion in reference to that which he opposes. I would fathom to guess that were there no Catholic religion, he would have no faith at all-- or perhaps I should call it an anti-faith? He is quick to judge and to @#%$! Catholics even though there is no consideration that if he is wrong then he has blasphemed the work of the Holy Spirit
The anti-Catholic may also sin by presumption of God's saving grace. We live in the "sure and certain hope" of our salvation, leaving our eternal destiny to divine providence. The Lord says, "Therefore, by their fruits you will know them." While the fruits of Christ's presence and loving ministry are manifested in the life of the Church, the anti-Catholic critic contends that Jesus shall respond to us with the words from Matthew 7:23, "I never knew you. Depart from me, you workers of iniquity!" Many of our Protestant brethren, with whom we would differ on points of doctrine and manners of worship, work alongside us in the promotion of the Gospel of Life. However, the anti-Catholic bigot contends that these groups are contaminated by their association with Catholics and thus are also lost. What can we say to such a critic? If all he understands are isolated bible texts, then let him pay heed to this one: "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. By their fruits you will know them" (Matthew 7:15-16).
Every Catholic needs to remember the anti-Catholic and the fallen-away Catholic every time they receive holy communion. We need to dedicate our Holy Hours to prayer on their behalf and make reparation for their insults against Jesus, his Mother, and the Church. May our prayer rise like incense to heaven and be found pleasing to Almighty God.

Answer 7

The confusion you're experiencing is from the Adversary who wants you to doubt Christ. Don't listen to it, continue trusting the Lord and reading His Word. The confusion and doubt will pass quickly!

Answer 8

I have no idea what your problem is with this website.

Nor do I know what your "religion" is.

If you're Catholic, I can see where the anti-Catholic bias on the site could be troubling.

Instead of reading the site you mentioned . . . try reading this site - www.blueletterbible.org.

Instead of worrying about what other people think, think about Jesus. Read what Jesus thinks, and focus on a relationship with Christ, rather than focus on people arguing with each other.

Godspeed.

Answer 9

CRIES,
Please stay focused you are reading your Bible and trying to get closer to Christ, that is the highest calling. The REAL church is not a building the real church is in YOU. Remember when Jesus insulted the temple priest saying "I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days"_Matthew26:61. The scripture says Jesus was referring to his death and resurrection. Jesus is the TEMPLE OF GOD and if you are born again He is in you! We gather at the church to fellowship but each believers relationship is PERSONAL.
