Christians, do you feel that Mormons, Catholics, Muslims, etc?

Question

Christians, do you feel that Mormons, Catholics, Muslims, etc do not experience the same level certainty about their religion as you do?

If you believe they are incorrect, then why do you believe you are correct and they are mislead.

(Yes, I know. Catholics and Mormons consider themselves Christian and I consider them Christian also, but a lot of people here don't, and that is who I am addressing)

Answer 1

Because they follow religious teachings not the bibles.

Answer 2

I only want to say that CATHOLICS ARE CHRISTIANS!!!!

Just a different denomination of it like a Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, Morman, Born Again, or Shiite and Sunni.

Mormans are Christian too, just not Catholic or Protestant. Christianity has a branch and it all starts with Catholocism from the Roman era under Constantine. no he did not start Christianity but he made it flourish and get accepted on mass scales.

So i see you already fixed and added that you consider them Christians so why do you think many other Christians do not consider them Christians?? They are no matter what. No Muslim or Buddhist would consider it any different. Just as we can not easily see the difference in a Shiite or a Sunni but I am sure they can easily.

That is what i mean. So i agree with you that they are Christian but heres another point too, if Muslims and these other factions all consider Jesus and Abraham prophets then would we not all be believing in the same god then? Some say Allah is not the Christian God i say they are the same with a different name just as Yahweh.

I think most organized religions or incorrect and lost into greed and their organizations. Those who just have faith and spirituality with out the restraints of another human talking in behalf of god for you. Why cant each just be allowed to worship the way they want to and where they want to so long as it is not hurting anyone? why must everyone kneel and show all these things like your Eminence? Many of these organizations say they speak for god but do they really or are they speaking for themselves?

That is why there are so many fractions from the original Roman Catholic Church and it was first the Byzantines that seperated and splintered Christianity for the first time. It just continued on and on so there are so many denominations of Christians that to a Muslim or a Jew it is all just Christians some more extreme than others.

That is what i think most think. only a few extremist would say that they are not Christian and Catholics are something different than Christian. lol.

good question.

Answer 3

Are Fundamentalist Protestants really Christian?
What are the criteria to determine who is Christian or not and what theology or life style is Christian?

I see the acceptance of the Nicene Creed or equivalent as a necessary basic for Christian theology and the "Christian"label and a lifestyle consistent with the full New Testament

Answer 4

I really don't worry about what other people think. I don't judge others who are practicing a religion - any religion. I find I have a high regard for all people who practice their faith. So why are we creating these barriers between us? I'm getting a bit tired of it.

If I truly practice my faith I will see goodness in other people. I will gladly shake their hand or embrace them warmly. I won't ask if they are Muslim, Hindu, Jew or anything else.

It will be interesting to see how many fanatics and fundamentalists can't wait to slam this message of tolerance. It always happens, and that is certainly a sign of weakness and fear.

Answer 5

i will tell how my mom grew to grow to be a Jehovah's Witness. She grew up in a Catholic Orphanage. She recollects how countless the ladies might get pregnant, than at some point they weren't on an identical time as black smoke comes from the incinerator. As an grownup, she joined the Church of God, that's the place I went the worry-unfastened college at. whilst i replaced into interior the 2d grade (1963), she offered the Bible tale books.* For my older sisters, she offered the Encyclopedia Britannica. whilst she replaced into putting the Britannica away, between the books fell open to the section on the Ark of the large Flood. It confirmed that the Ark replaced right into a container, no longer a boat. The Ark did no longer would desire to sail, basically waft. It greater good and did no longer require ballast. This have been given her to thinking what else replaced into usually believed, yet replaced into no longer precise. After checking different issues, all it took replaced right into a knock on the door. Her call replaced into Nan C. It replaced into an uphill conflict, as my stepfather replaced into fantastically opposed. He replaced right into a Korean warfare vet. He might throw the books away. as a effect, Nan began bringing her husband, Stan, additionally a warfare vet. He did no longer pontificate at dad, basically talked to him regarding the warfare, existence, and the international. Stan surpassed directly to the excellent beyond final month. My mum and dad have been witnesses for over 40 years and are of their Eighteen Eighties. they're now commencing to be certain the tip of their direction in existence, if Armageddon does not come first. he's dropping weight at as quickly as. He had a thoughts embolism 3 years in the past, yet nevertheless gets out into the provider as quickly as a month.** mom can now no longer get out interior the provider. She attends the conferences by using telephone hookup. whilst she replaced into born, hospitals did no longer have nursuries, no longer to show NICU. She weighed under a pound and her organs have been on the outdoors. They shove them back in, lined the hollow with tape, and despatched her homestead in a shoe container. She wasn't envisioned to stay, yet she did.

Answer 6

There is NO certainty in "religion". Religion is mans feeble attempt to reach God.

God has made an attempt to reach MAN, and it is the ONLY attempt that God recognizes as effective in achieving its purpose.

The ONLY certain ones are those who believe God and trust in the finished work on the Cross. That is Gods ONLY provision for anyone to know Him or to enter His Holy Heaven.

The others may "feel" certain, but they dont have Gods written guarantee of anything.

Answer 7

It is not the place of man to judge as the individual and God know the real answer. I have known christians in both denominations of faith. I don't know why people have to fight about this issue as we are all in this together and each person has his own relationship goin on.

Answer 8

It's a "faith" thing, man. You gotta have FAITH. I believe they are just as sincere as we are. But if you don't believe in Jesus, The Christ, you are wrong. All the protesting, rationalizing, disagreeing, complaing that it is politically incorrect, bad-mouthing and mocking won't change that.

Answer 9

To say that you believe in the Bible, but not Catholicism, is like saying you believe in the Koran, but not Islam.

"Unless the LORD build the house, they labor in vain who build."
(Cf. Psalms 127:1)

Answer 10

I just want to say this: I hope that in this upcoming Christmas season, all who do not believe in God will hear the call of their Father in heaven and come home to the Joy and Love of the Father's table that awaits them.

In this upcoming Christmas season, I wish that all Christians, and all who believe in a "God" of their understanding, will come together in the spirit of unity of the human family.

My Church - The Holy Catholic Church - teaches this:
"The Church's bond with non-Christian religions is in the first place the common origin and end of the human race: All nations form but one community. This is so because all stem from the one stock which God created to people the entire earth, and also because all share a common destiny, namely God. His providence, evident goodness, and saving designs extend to all... ... The Catholic Church recognizes in other religions that search, among shadows and images, for the God who is unknown yet near since he gives life and breath and all things and wants all men to be saved..." (Catechism Of The Catholic Church, sections 842, 843 : http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt1sect2chpt3art9p3.htm ).

May the Lord our God bless you and keep you, and cause His Face to shine upon you.
And I too bless you, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. AMEN.

Answer 11

It's all about the Spirit of God living inside you. He either does, or He doesn't!
By accepting Jesus' death on the cross as payment for one's sins, God's Spirit is quickened inside ones heart and one is "saved"

This is called being "born again"
