The Roman Catholic Church~ Questions

[noy]

---

I belong to the Roman Catholic denomination... I was raised knowing some of the teachings of RCC which until now I still follow..

yes 'coz that's what the church is telling us, that's what they make us believe..

and not what I understood sa bible, although if questioned I'd still answer sa mga tubag giteach sa RC church..

we have many reasons to believe the Doctirnes of our church sis...
but apart from those tangible reasons and biblical references(which you can verify for yourself), there is still a gap that requires faith.
faith in the apostolic succession, faith that the traditions were handed over from generations to generations down from the early Christians to the very Apostles themselves.

it's good that you answer from your RCC background if questioned
i hope you would also search from a Catholic's POV when you question..then compare it with whatever comes across your mind..
'cause i believe that though we question we must not loose faith...
i've always loved this qoutation by St.Augustine "believe first then you will understand".

before i have come to know Jesus and His Salvation as i do now
though baptized in the CAtholic faith,i was raised by a non-practicing Christian family
i never knew that much about God..i had trouble understanding the Trinity,Jesus as God,rosary.i can count the number of times i went to church from childhood till highschool graduation...
i've never read a bible till i was in college, i still remember how i sweat like a pig when my Reed teacher asked me about old testament
as i had no idea what the testament was?was that a certain book like genesis?Lol
i hated the church,religious people and eventually hated God for my own reasons...

point is, i have not acquired this faith that i have now because the church told me so...

all i know back then was that Jesus is Lord and God, and i called Him out of desperation...
i even remember calling Him papa Jesus back then,as i look back, i suppose i should call Father God grandpa then! Lol....

The Bible may be God's word and perfect but its not free from misinterpretation for our minds aren't perfect..
esp if not guided by the holy spirit,esp if we read it with other intentions apart from Loving God's word and others..
it can certainly be very tricky.
Like how other people condemn others using the word of God, God's word is not meant to condemn others as the very message of it is Salvation and Love.

Maybe if we will start to read and understand the bible without considering the doctrines of our Religion - daku chance maka kaplag tas kamatuoran. Kay when you read something with your doctrines in mind, it will lead you to become the defender of your faith Not to search for the truth.

well said SioDenz, most of us are already programmed to think, to do things the way our elder wants us but not what we want ourselves to become..

when i introduce you that question the first thing that comes out of your mind is what our elder taught us, in my POV it's not..

though i'm not trying to convince you to believe me or worst case to twist someone else's faith ako rani gishare bcn pa d i if makakita sad mo ana ..

No, ill search the verse that naay panahon di or wa kahibalo ang DIOS labi na sa unsay buhaton sa isa ka tawo.

lets heighten the stakes by your statement does this mean God also fails sa claim nga "all seeing God"?..

mao nani ron 1st tym ko kasugat ani nga tubag from someone like you.. honesty is a requirement of finding the the truth..

Job 28:24 For he looks to the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens.

Hebrews 4:13 And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account..
