Actually, I didn't say much (if anything) about whether or not your Jesus is a mistake. In my view, and that of the Catholic Church, you lack the fullness of Chrsitian truth. You have part of it, but not the whole thing. I do not believe that you worship a different Jesus, any more than a liberal has a different U.S. president. We merely see Him differently. Mormons worship someone who only barely resembles Jesus. Mormonism is a heresy. We could argue in circles about whether or not Protestantism is a heresy, but the point is that I don't believe you and I worship a different Jesus. There's too much in common. Obviously, we think of each other as having defective views of Him, but that does not mean we are worshipping different gods.

As a general rule, I try to stick to what I know to be true, as opposed to pointing out what I think is wrong. I may be stretching Biblical interpretations with this philosophy, but I think such a mindset is implicitly addressed by the principle of not judging, lest you be judged.

There are things I don't understand about Catholic theology, as there have been for many years, but I've found that a lot of these things, once explained to me, tend to make a whole lot more sense.

Speaking of which, I caught half a show on EWTN the other day that really clarified the reasoning behind Catholic teachings on birth control -- and it scares me a little to admit it, but it really did make a lot of sense...

BTW, I apologize if the last line of my post offended, but I had to avoid the near occasion of sin. I didn't want to bite your head off. I have heard similar anathemas from several sources and each time I hear it again, I am a little grumpier about it. If you're going to decalre that I'm going to Hell, you'd better darn sure of it. Otherwise, you're in serious danger yourself. "For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get." - Matthew 7:2

Funky, I went over there and read his whole post and the comments… It makes me sad. I'm sorry you were censored. The first thing that tipped me off that he was a very confused man was that his time of learning about the Church came when he was a child. I think it's safe to say that if we stop learning and/or practicing a particular thing when we're children then as time goes on we're going to have less and less of a real understanding of it. For example, if we stopped learning history in kindergarten we'd go through life thinking that George Washington really did chop down that cherry tree.

Greetings,

I hesitate at posting a comment (especially considering your last phrase), but I hope to make an observation that both you and I can agree upon: we serve different Jesus(s)! And that was the main thrust of my post.

You dissected my words and have made your case for your Jesus, and in the end, he is different from mine.

Oh course you believe that your Jesus is the right one and that my Jesus is a big mistake; if you didn't, you wouldn't be a Roman Catholic.

Anyway, you've made your point, and funny enough, you've, in part anyway, made mine.

Peace,

I have just started attending a course in the history of christianity. One of the insights I think it gives me is the width of the christian church. Hopefully we will talk to each other in a better way than the blogger you are refering to .

soon as I saw the word "Romanist", I saw all I needed to know
