Roman Catholic and protestant

Faith in God of course. Dont sit there do nothing... dont read bible... dont even bother to pray... and wait for judgement day. haha. Faith that no matter what bad things that had happened, God will be there for you. There's no worse feeling in the world than not believing in Him. Dunno why, but He always seem to give us a feeling of assurance... wahaha..Originally posted by SingaporeMacross:Welcome to the club.
Faith is important. But faith in what?
Hey, i really dunno what to do ley. Whether heaven is immediate or not... there's no one except God who will give us the absolute answer. Then even though we read the bible, some ppl will say it's immediate, some say no... what to do ar? Guess this issue isnt so impt as we thought to be. It doesnt quite affect our salvation isnt it? -
Pope Bendict XVI is more concerned about purity of teachings than ecumenical and so was Pope John Paul II.
One logical reason will be the effect of the decree on Protestants (the "bomb" ) and the ecumenical movement so supported by the Pope.
And I support it too, but not the meaning you are presenting.
I say again .. many Catholics support it. So this isn't any unorthodox thinking.
Yes her role is more than,but you are upgrading her role from even the Catholic point of view.
The pastor who baptised you also cooperated with the plan of salvation, but clearly the Virgin Mother's role is much much more than that. Are you trying to downplay her role in salvation?
I believe what I stated earlier was that Christ is the only mediator and reedeemer and the paragraphs explained when the title co- is attached it is not because she is equal but rather as a guide and because she co-operated with the plan of salvation.
Moreover the Protestant's argument is that they think only Christ is involved. So there is already a problem with the "co" title.[/b] -
But the thing is, if you don't go to heaven immediately, then where do you go to?Originally posted by badzilla:Hey, i really dunno what to do ley.

Well, if you are made holy enough by God, you just might bypass purgatory and go on the express train to heaven.
