Ok, I’ll give my two cents. Born to the most prominent Baptist family in my county. Started dating the daughter of the most prominent Catholic family in the county in 7th grade. Dated nine years, and married 21. I was at my baptist church two times every Sunday, bible study every Wednesday until we had kids. I’ve been a member of St. Anthony’s for 18 years now, but I’m not catholic. We go to Mass every Sunday, I read my bible every morning from 5am-6am. My wife and I both agree that Christ is our savior, and have raised our boys accordingly. Our boys listen to Chuck Swindoll, Adrian Rogers, Ravi Zacharias , etc. One thing I’ve learned over the years is that both churches have a lot more in common then either want to admit. There are things I really like about the Catholic Church, and things that I strongly disagree with too. Most people judge from the outside on both religions, but never study them. In the end that’s the problem religion! My family and I seek the Truth; Christ on the cross!! We still knock heads once in a while on religion debates, but never on our faith. And yes after all these years I still love to get her side of the family all wound up at the holidays in a good debate. Usually starts with me making a comment about the Pope putting his pants on one leg at a time like I do:)

For my friends who are stuck on the idea that the Sabbath must be observed on the 7th day of the week (saturday), I always suggest to them they get a European calender, many of them start the week on Monday thereby making Sunday the seventh day. It's all good then. Kind of shows how ridiculous the whole argument is.

It's all good then. Kind of shows how ridiculous the whole argument is. God has a calendar too. You should look into it. Posted this earlier, but there seems to be a lack of understanding. Jesus must have counted same as the Jews. Luke 4:16 (NKJV) 16 So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. This also shows the difference between the Sabbath, and the first day. Mark 16:1 Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome brought spices, that they might come and anoint Him. 2 Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen. Most of you call this first day Sunday, or Easter. And Jesus speaks of the future time of the end. Matthew 24:20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. Must matter in the future, no? There are many scriptures showing the first century church kept the Sabbath.

They were just called Christians during that time, same as the catholics were. The catholics decided to move into a little different direction sooner, that's all. Lol so was Justin Martyr a Catholic or Baptist? How about Polycarp?
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

As a baptist I believe religion will send you to Hades quicker than anything. I believe the Truth is Christ and it's best to keep your eyes affixed on Him. Just my two cents.

If the Sabbath must be observed on a certain day of the week, does that mean that police and firefighters and everyone else who works on a Sunday or Saturday sinning? If your house catches fire on a Sabbath day are you going to let it burn or call the fire department? Surely we all know what the Bible says about causing someone to sin, and there is no exceptions to the Sabbath.

Or it's an ox in the ditch scenario.

The Catholic Church was unarguably started by Jesus Christ,
Keith Funny, since the full name of the Catholic Church is “The Roman Catholic Church,” and the Romans not only executed Jesus but tried to exterminate his “church” for a few hundred years until Constantine decided to “join em if you can’t beat em.” I think the Jews probably bear as much responsibility as the Romans.

In troubled times, people of all Faiths should remember these 4 great religious truths:
1. Muslims do not recognize Jews as God's chosen people. 2. Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah. 3. Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian world. 4. Baptist do not recognize each other at the liquor store. I even had to laugh at that one LOL But here is a truth, religion all religion is mans way to reach out to GOD on mans terms do's and don't but always fall short. Salvation is GOD's grace given to man. Man must decide to accept or reject Gods grace based only on realizing our sinful nature separates us from him. the old testament law was to show man that we can not live up to the perfect standards that GOD is. He then gave his son to pay the penalty for man if that man accepts it, a penalty that we can never pay because of our sinful nature.

That exactly Jonsie. No one id "good" enough to get into heaven on their own, all our works are like filthy rags to God. Jesus is the only path to Heaven, and it's through grace alone, and not works, lest any should boast. We were all doomed to the same (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman), my sins are no better or worse than your sins. All who accept Jesus are part of the same body-Catholics, protestants, blacks, whites, liberal, conservative, (converted) muslims and jews, churched since birth, etc etc. We're all part of the same body and must learn to love another. It's fun to debate religious differences, and some of them are even important to have, but none of it is worth a lick without a saving knowledge of Jesus.

And there are many religions that we don't generally recognize as such. There are so many things we can trust in rather than Christ alone. But certainly, self sufficiency has to be the number one religion.
