Sounds like great fun to me. The Buddhist Temple I'm familiar with in the Atlanta area invites the whole world to their place to eat after weekly service. No pot luck because nobody is asked to bring anything but their appetite.

is pussy involved in this decision?


No, I’m 27 years old and my girlfriend is Baptist/nondenominational/she doesn’t know.

My entire family is either Baptist or Methodist.

I am not doing this for anybody but myself

After Christ Ascended to Heaven, the Church that he left behind for us was the only Christian Church for many centuries. About Ten Centuries later, the Orthodox Church and Roman Catholic Churches came into being. These two Churches share the fundamentals of Theological thinking, most importantly WRT the Eucharist.

About Five Centuries later, we have the Protestants and Reformers creating many new sects.

But, with more the Fifteen Centuries of being in charge of Christian Theological thinking, it's reasonable for some to conclude that the Catholics and Orthodox are the originals WRT Christianity.

Putting yourself in charge =/= actually being in charge

You would be wrong in that assumption. My SO is a Protestant. I’m doing this because I have a legitimate interest in it and have woken up to the lies and misconceptions I was told about the Catholic Church.

Please list all of the Christian churches that existed in the world from the year Zero to the year 1400 AD.

That is Fourteen Centuries of time - a long time. So, please list and tell us about all of the Christian Churches that were in existence for those Fourteen Centuries.

Completely and wholly irrelevant to my point. Just because the church in Rome tells you it's the one in charge doesn't mean it's actually true.

Feel free to show me where Jesus said the Catholic Church is my church and you can end the discussion. Until you can do that, everything else is just propaganda you've been fed your entire life.

Well if the Catholic church is not your church then it seems that a thread beginning:

You can’t start a Catholic thread without protestants and atheists coming in to persecute and ridicule.

Best to be humble and ignore. Jesus told us about this part in the beatitudes.

I am not talking about or arguing about TODAY or any times since 1550 or so. All I'm saying is that it is reasonable to expect that a Church that's been around since Year Zero might argue that it is the original Christian church.

That's all I'm saying.

Because I would like to know more about your reasoning, please list all of the Christian Churches that you are aware of that were in existence from the Year Zero to the year 1500 AD.

- Roman Catholic

- Orthodox

Can you list any others?

Except that's not their argument. Their argument is that they are God's chosen church.

Neat trick, Mods.

When a thread is all about bashing Catholics and the Pope, ON the PT board where it has nothing to do with politics, it goes on for weeks. When a thoughtful thread appears that involves somebody joining the Catholic church, the thread is immediately anchored.

The claims that the church of Rome was founded by Peter or that he served as its first bishop are in dispute and rest on evidence that is not earlier than the middle or late 2nd century. Words of John 21:18, 19 clearly refer to the death of Peter and are cast into the literary form of prophecy.S


Propaganda, pure and simple. There's absolutely zero proof that anything the catholics preach is truth.

Now I know you people love your dogma and silly rituals, but that's all it is. You can pretend it's the literal truth all you want, but that doesn't make it so.
