Be Proud of Being Catholic

Nice that you have called it a celebration/commemoration and rightly so. Do you guys also take communion? Like taking the bread on the belief that it is the real flesh and blood of Jesus?

I understand where you're coming from and I respect your view on our church. Yes, we do have "weekend services involves hours of Bible study" and we also have hours of those that involve application, its not just sit down shut up and listen... I guess, for most of us, we are Indiana Joneses... I'm not talking about those "very very old ritual" like the breaking of the bread and the drinking of the wine because we non-catholics also do that but we don't call it ritual, we call it a celebration/commemoration of the night before Jesus died for us where He made clear how importan fellowship, humility and service is to the Christian family (trivia: this was actually a celebration amongst Jews which remembers the passover and the freedom from slavery when Moses led them out of Egypt, it was not instituted/started by Jesus but actually was celebrated by Jesus and He gave it a new reason to celebrate it because like Moses who saved the Israelites from the bondage of slavery, Jesus was to free us from the slavery of sin) I'm talking about the other things that runs on a very thin line between superstition and religion... you also have to do research as to why those traditions were brought up by the heads of the catholic church... I have nothing against the Catholics, its some of the things that your heads have set for you to do that I have troubles with...

I have attended Catholic masses, I have gone to school that conducts masses every first friday and yes, the priests do bring up a verse or two from the bible, and I have heard them talk about the verses, I have even served as a altar boy on some of our school masses...

I'm telling you right now, be proud that you are a Catholic, because the Catholics are part of the Christian community and Christians should be united since we worship only one God... that's the bigger picture, but be careful of the small details that you are doing, you have to ask yourself, is this something that pleases God or something that God will not be happy about, and the only way to answer those questions is by reading the bible...

Bro, do you have online articles about these?

This is my find:
http://catholic-resources.org/Bible/Evangelists.htm <--- I still have to find time to read that article though.

actually bro, the gospels was written by the witnesses who was with Christ during his ministry here on earth... Some of the chosen disciples were former scribes... that were you got your first 4 books of the new testament... the other books were written by the apostles themselves or by designated scribes that were with the apostles when they were doing the great commission... those books were then compiled by scholars, placed into order according to time it was written....

usually bro, ang difference ra jud ana kay ang focus sa church teachings... for example... the pentecostals focus on the Holy Spirit, baptists focus on the mandates that was given by Jesus, protestants (cosidered to be were all the sects came from since this was the first group that originated the Catholic church) kay daghan pud ug division, there's the evangelical (more on the works and spreading of the gospel), Lutheran (the old school), orthodox and many more... but actually, kung imo ni siya tan-awon sa bigger picture, they actually are almost the same... that's why there are some inter-church worships going on...

bro am i reading correctly? you said protestants cosidered to be were all the sects came from since this was the first group that originated the Catholic church? huh?

ang yes bro kung tanawon nato sa bigger picture, they actually ALMOST the same.. but not really the same.. but the catholic church are totally the same universally... since its beginning..

bro necro, second to you.

as i have known, protestants were the first group who separated from the Catholic church. mostly from the time of Martin Luther, and from the protestants came a lot of christian faction (please correct me if i'm wrong)

kami naa mi communion every 1st sunday of the month. ang nakalahi lng kay dili mi motoo ug "TRANSUBSTANTIATION" wherein nga ang "HOST" or "WAFER" mahimong actual body of Christ which is again contradicting sa bible. ug maski pa sa catholic bible nato basahon contradicting gihapon.

ang protestant group mao to ang mga catholic members nga ni protest sa RC CHURCH. simple ra kaayo sabton. ug after pila ka years ato if naa man gani mga denomination nga nanggawas dili na matawag ug "protestant" intawn oi. ang protestant katong mga catholic members gyud nga ni protesta mao to sila Martin luther usa ka catholic priest.

maski e compare pa nimo imong pagka katoliko sa mga christians saunang panahon, ug sa panahon sa mga apostles maka ingon gyud ka nga "LAHI" ra mo ug tinohoan.

ang mga christians sauna wala gyud intawn mag rosary ug wala magluhod ug mo kiss sa mga graven images.
