They, like everyone else, needs to be "born again" lest they die in their sins.

i would have said "generally speaking, catholics" as opposed to an all inclusive "catholics". as some did not choose their fate and have been brought up catholic and are surrounded by it--they care not for the cultural, political, and religious rituals but solely for the love of god and his word.

Silas, dear--I think it would be wise of you to leave God's choice up to Him.

I wish you peace and understanding.

InPeace,
InLove

Amen. But he didnt make us ignorant on these issues. We do have his word. Therefore, we know what the true gospel (the means by which we are saved) entials and what it does not. It does not entail repetative prayers that are vain, Mary worship, saint worship, good deeds, etc. We must contend for the faith, but in love - No pun intended - that those who are fooled might hear the truth and be saved.

Oh, how generous you are to us Catholics who just might, if, if, if, God can see beyond our religion and save us! You and Silas live in a bizarro world---I mean that in a nice way. (Will this pass the censor?)

Silas · 12-10-2006, 02:33 AM

So your a catholic? How do you understand the gospel? Will you tell us what the gospel entials, please?

heh

... but, take into account this, i am spanish and my grandfather who was raised catholic had to bow and kiss the rings of priests, call them father, and all kinds of strict catholic rituals that may nor may not be seen today... he left the catholic church and became a more simple christian and as a result was disowned by his family and lossed inheritance even though his love for god never changed. i can tell you from experience the blessings god gave him are far more the the family he lost.

Silas, as a friend, which I hope we still are, your Posts and spelling, etc., seem a little dyslexic. Do you have problems in that regard? If so, I will pray for you (I will pray for you in any case). If not, you need to let your hands catch up with your thoughts before you Post, and we could understand each other better. (I'm sorry, but I have a Master's Degree in English, and I taught College English Writing for several years. Some things bother me more than they do others.) My Traditional Roman Catholic faith is for another discussion.

I would hope so, and in light of certain stigmas, I suppose we who are called by such have to work that much harder (to overcome our apparent stupidity).

I hope I did not offend you or anyone by mentioning dyslexia. I'm bi-polar, schizoaffective, and have PTSD, and I have had to work extremely hard to get where I am at 61 years of age. We all have our crosses to bear, but "God helps those who help themselves," to use a hackneyed phrase. No one is "stupid" for having a slight spelling problem, for instance. I would not like people to think I was stupid for being so psychotic. We are what God created us to be. Please forgive me if I offended you or anyone!

Whoa...I was just mentioning my atrocious spelling on another thread. I would tell you the story of why, but maybe another time? Glad to hear about your degree in English, must be nice! In any case, you didnt answer the question. How do you understand the gospel bro?

Another time on Catholicism, too, please. I'm getting very fatigued after a long day of Posting on various Forums. Give an old man a break, okay?

I don't think so. In fact I'd just let the sleeping dog lie...
