well......my thoughts on this.......first, arguing about religion, or parts of it bein rite or wrong is never goin to get anywhere, even tho we may believe one way or another.....u truly cannot argue ur way into proving ur way is rite.....but i do believe that certain things in the catholic belief system are wrong (im not a expert on this, so if im wrong, catholics feel free to correct me).....such as salvation thru grace vs salvation thru the catholic church, prayer to saints, that no one outside the catholic church can be saved, iconic reverence/worship, difference in sacraments, purgatory, transubstantiation? (sp?), where at the Lord's supper, the wafer n wine are the actual blood n flesh of Jesus, apocryphal books, i dunt remember.....well, juss my beliefs..
[edit].....ok i wuz juss talkin to my former church youth group leader on im on dis.....he sed that, quote 'I think as Christians... we have full authority to claim truth throught the Word of God...we don't have to sit idly by and keep things to ourselves...we have to strive for the truth...God is truth...His word is truth', in response to ppl sayin other denominations/beliefs are plainly wrong....ok, his response, not mine.....but wut do u ppl think of that.....i have to say i kinda agree... :huh:
[edit 2].......ok, my bad......also, sumting mentioned earlier in this thread, that catholics are goin to hell.....not true....anyone is a Christian as long as they believe that Jesus is the one and only Son of God, that he died for our sins, n dat he was resurrected from the dead 3 days later.....it doesnt matter wut else we believe that may be wrong, we are saved by the grace of God thru his son Jesus Christ....
