Hi, Sebastian!

Are you going to tell us which church you go to, your favorite Bible verse and how you found Jesus or are you going to keep us in suspense a little longer?

Hi, Sebastian!

Are you going to tell us which church you go to, your favorite Bible verse and how you found Jesus or are you going to keep us in suspense a little longer?

Sorry I'm new to this so I don't know how to receive notifications when somebody replies to my post,

Church: Resurrection Catholic Community.

My fav verse:
18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

Jesus Christ it has been inside me before I even born, i didn't have to find Him because He has never been lost in my life, He is everywhere where your eyes turn you will see Him, plants, animals, people, soil, sun, stars, universe and beyond.

Re: Greetings to all the community.

Well, this is a Baptist site. Our views are quite different than yours. We base our beliefs and practises on the Bible. We don't worship statues or pray to dead saints. We don't worship Mary. We don't believe the Poop can speak for God. Why do you believe these things? What do you base your beliefs on?

If you are Christian on Jesus i don't see how our beliefs are different? as far as I know you and I believe that there is only 1 God Lord of the universe, we believe in the same Jesus; I don't worship statues either, and I don't pray to dead saints, nor to the virgin Mary, and the Pope is just another human priest as the ones in your community. Believe it or not there are different types of Catholics but at the end of the day you and I are both Christians.

Well, that's encouraging to hear. But if we have the same beliefs, why don't you go to a Baptist church? What's your view on Baptism? You baptize babies, don't you?

I agree with Mr. Swallows. If you, Mr. Estrada, have rejected the Catholic heresies (good for you! ) It is time not to identify yourself with this group of Jesus-deniers that are essentially a Muslim community.

Here are some examples how Pope Frances teaches. He endorses:

• ...atheist salvation (you don't have to believe anything and you still can go into Heaven; compare with John 3:18).
  
• ...Muslim salvation (you can deny the Trinity and the Divine Nature of Christ and still go into heaven; compare with John 3:15-18).
• ...evolution (you can disregard the Fall [Genesis 3:6] and the need to reconciliation, i.e., Jesus CHRIST; compare with John 3:16-18).
• ...homosexual behavior and teaching the children, especially young boy youths, to choose the homosexual life style (no surprise here regarding the catamite tradition of the Catholic organization; compare with Romans 1:27).

It is very good that you do not take him to be infallible. It is a relief that you are not a Catholic in that case!

Judges 5:3
Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel.

God had the Bible written. He signed off on it. His intention obviously was that the simplest of minds could understand it. Clear. He said what He meant and meant what He said. No were does God tell us to 'interpret' His work and try to twist His words. Only God is in a position to clarify what is perhaps the the easiest book to read ever written. No where in the Bible does it tell us it is OK to skip the parts we do not like and that what God expects from us are mere 'suggestions'.

Welcome, Sebastian. We are Christian here and friendly. What part of Texas do you live in? I also live in Texas, which is God's own country and the center of the universe. There are many Romans in my vicinity, but I have met none yet (except yourself) who are Christian. Christian churches are not filled with statues of plaster saints and objects for veneration. We worship the Lord God, directly and openly without asking uninvolved dead people for intercession with Jesus. Christian churches have no priest in attendance to come between ourselves and the Lord. Do you find worship difficult in the presence of so many idol worshippers? If you are not an idol worshipper, why do you attempt to worship among them?

God Bless!

I wouldn't say I rejected the Catholic church teachings 100% because there are thing we do as Catholic that there are essential in my own opinion that other christian denomination do not do; i just I consider that we can pray straight to Lord and we don't need saints to intercede for us if our Faith is strong enough, however Christians who ask saints to intercede for them do not brake the law because is on the bible I use Reina Valera but for this case i will use King James since that is the bible you use right?(KJV):

2 Thessalonians 3
1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:
2 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.

James 5:6
16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

...atheist salvation (you don't have to believe anything and you still can go into Heaven; compare with John 3:18). Correct but also was said on Romans 2:9-16 some one can be saved even if you don't know the law of God but the Law is in their hearts;
9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another
16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

...Muslim salvation (you can deny the Trinity and the Divine Nature of Christ and still go into heaven; compare with John 3:15-18). I believe on the Trinity as One single and unique God, however Muslims go against what Jesus came to teach us about 2nd commandment Matthew 22:39-40
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

...evolution (you can disregard the Fall [Genesis 3:6] and the need to reconciliation, i.e., Jesus CHRIST; compare with John 3:16-18). There is no a valid scientific theory about evolution nothing to disagreed in here.

...homosexual behavior and teaching the children, especially young boy youths, to choose the homosexual life style (no surprise here regarding the catamite tradition of the Catholic organization; compare with Romans 1:27). Along the bible God shows us how disgusted He is about homosexuality however many preachers are afraid to affront this because society, this is just one example of many vesicles:

Romans 1
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Hi Alvin, I'm in Houston and you?...Just and observation statues are not there to be venerated there are just as decoration real Catholics know those statues doesn't have any power is like having a portrait in your house of you family or you car or something else they are there for decoration not for veneration, I know many Catholics do it but is because they are naive and they don't read the bible, they just fallow traditions. I don't find difficulty at all when I pray to God in the presence of statues because as I said they are just for decoration besides that i close my eyes and focus on my communication with Jesus, when I pray in my room i have a piggy bank of a ninja turtle, portraits and other cool stuffs but i close my eyes and I concentrate to connect my heart with God not on what is around me.

I see brother in Christ you haven't read about the Spiritual Gifts but don't worry I'll will introduce to them:


1 Corinthians 12 (KJV)
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

Matthew 13
10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.


Romans 14(KJV)

1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
