You dont newd to wait a year to be baptized, you can do it the day you want to convert to christianity, if catholics are making you wait that just wrong
.warn @Kevin Storm rule 6 stop deleting
Have you been baptized before?
im not sure, I'll ask my dad
Well, hey. If he wants to become Catholic, that's his choice.
Go to the priest and he should direct you to classes you have to take
Yeah ik but I dont agree with catholics on many things
I got baptized in the catholic church
As far as I know you don’t have to wait but they want to make sure you know what Catholicism is before you convert so that you know what the beliefs are beforehand so you aren’t surprised later on
Well, neither do I. But I think they have a point on the requirements of Discipline. I think that's something that many branches of Christianity have lost, to their detriment.
ik that if you are about to die they will speed up the process
Like what?
I’m Catholic so if you have any questions just dm me but for now I’m off to bed
Ok goodnight
Hmm still doesn't make sense
Well, think of the length of their services, the process of the services, the kneeling and the standing. Remembering all of that takes a good bit of dedication, meaning you really have to *want* to be a Christian. And those who are willing to do the work to become a Christian often make the best Christians in my opinion.
Well at my church we have it in the morning from 9-12 and at night we have it at 6-8 we sing, pray alot and have messages.
Well, hold on there. I wasn't trying to denigrate your branch or denomination. There is no need to jump to it's defense.
I didn't realize I was being defensive but ok
I do not know, I have never attended a Catholic School.
But one of the reasons I dont like catholics is because they pray to mary, John ect so they can pray to God for us but the bibles states this.
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
John 14:6
Yes, I do disagree with their idea of intercession. But something I have seen in many modern churches is a hollow faith in which there are no works.
You do not see that with the Catholics.
I am not saying that about your branch, simply that it does not seem to be the problem with Catholics.
Also I hear that Catholics pray to the sun-God
?
I have seen no evidence of such, and I have been to many Catholic Masses.
Also: you may attend a catholic mass and voice your concerns. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. I've had many sunday brunches with Catholics after Mass and discussed theology at length with them.
thank you guys this was a nice conversation
Thank you, Mango. I wish you the best on your journey <:salut:730846445732888630>
ty, i wish you well on your journey
Catholic believe that they need to do works to be save, and that there works saves them I talk to a server of catholics thats where I get this from
Goodnight Lads
Yes, and I believe that's where they get things wrong. But I would rather have a world with Catholics in it than without.
G'night.
James 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only
Indeed.
Well pentecostal is definitely different. But I guess depends on which pentecostal church you go to.
That’s at least why I’ve been taught why we believe that
