lol!

what did you say to this?

I said, "Jesus was not born yet." He was born just 2,006 years ago. There was a slight chuckle there from a few only, but the American Evangelist Alan could not control his laughter. The Indian Evangelist showed some consternation on his face. The Chinese evangelist perhpas could not understand my English.. The Anglican Protestant jumped in and said,"Jesus was there before the beginning."

I said, "That would be one of my questions coming up later."

I checked with one of them and he told me they are Protestants. He said, "We are Protestants because we protest against the Catholic Church."

Is it right what the protestants do?

After hearing that, I feel as if the Protestants are something like a minority sect and are not the main stream Christians. Perhaps, you can throw some light on this.

Anyway, I will go on Thursday.

Well, at least I know they aren't Mormon Missionaries.  You can tell a LDS Missionary at 10,000 paces.  They were, black suits, white shirts and name tags that say Elder Smith Church of Jesus Christ of LatterDay Saints.  They also wouldn't have called themselves Protestants.

I have only a couple of comments here....since it's obvious this is a "fun" thing for most of you, and I as the lone Catholic, hate to be a "spoil sport". 

First of all, from the description you give of the "fab four", they are more than likely NOT from any major or well-known Protestant denomination.  It is quite likely they are some sort of cult.  Either that or they have done what thousands of Protestants have done when dissatisfied with their church....they simply start a new one.

Second, I have no problem with ANYONE'S religion.  This is an individual decision for every human being on earth.  We cannot and should not force anyone to believe a certain way.  We can hope and/or pray they will accept this faith, or that faith, but ultimately it's up to the individual.

Lastly, as I have quite humbly stated previously, the Catholic Church has repeatedly acknowledged her mistakes during the Inquisition and Crusades.  Those involved in those long ago days hopefully repented from the sins....and if they did, I have no doubt our merciful God forgave them, as He promised he would do.  Also, Catholics are never to insult another person's beliefs or chosen church/faith.  It is a BIG sin.  We believe that all people who have a well formed conscience, and follow that conscience to the best of their ability, and make every effort to live an ethical, moral life will be judged accordingly on Judgement Day, and as the God we worship is a merciful God, He will be merciful toward them.  They will quite possibly/probably see God in paradise.  This goes for everyone who has lived a good, moral and just life. 

As a side note,  Annie, the Pope does very much follow the Bible.  He is guided by the power of the Holy Spirit in all that he does regarding Church teachings.  Catholics are Christians...in fact, we were the first Christians.  I am always amazed at how little many Protestants actually know about Catholicism.  There are so many lies, myths, misunderstandings it is very disheartening. 

Well, there is so much more I could try to explain, but it would serve no real purpose.  My main point in all this is that Catholics do not disrespect anyone's chosen faith or religion.  But we constantly hear insulting and rude remarks aimed at our faith.  It's sad, but that's life, and God comforts and strengthens us through it all.  I wish you peace, joy, and many blessings.....ALL of you.

Patty, you could exchange Christians for Protestants and Islam for Catholicism and you would be experiencing our world...   Kinda tiring and sad, isn't it?
