Catholicism is a denomination, hence a subset, of Christianity. All Catholics are Christians, but not all Christians are Catholics. A Christian refers to a follower of Jesus Christ who may be a Catholic, Protestant, Gnostic, Mormon, Evangelical, Anglican or Orthodox, or follower of another branch of the religion.

A Catholic refers to a Christian who follows the Catholic religion as transmitted through the succession of Popes of Rome and the Vatican Empire across history. The Pope is the leader of the Catholic church. The Catholic Church is the largest of the Christian Churches - about 60% of Christians are Catholic.

brother alvin, before I start my quoting & conversation here.. we're all in here chatting as a family, no hard feeling ok? if any words I quoted wrongly, please correct me.  nod.gif
I came to church empty as a sinner, imagine.. my life is very good, rich with all the material needs and I can full fill my own desire with $. I can buy all materialistic desire needs with $. Do u think I will go church and seek god? I don't think so. Meanings, giving up to go church or seek for god kingdoms does not relates to the word "empty" as we said...
With his grace, we are not superhuman. We walk with him together, we face the challenge together as a team. Its just too dark to walk alone out there. U said that u dislike what other christian told u that "everything in their life is ok not even wanting to bear any weaknesses at all, for fear of saying something would mean that they are empty.", but bear in mind.. u r walking the challenge with god and carrying other ppl cross. And yes, is not wrong to say out that u r facing this and wana do it right, in fact u had done the right things  nod.gif
Please look properly on this quote here u had write, "U r counting on church mates to help u, when they failed to help u with ur desire needs.. u had blame them". what i trying to tell was here, when anything u failed to archive after u "ask/pray" to god, u don't give up and don't blame other.. having faith to it and continue to make your search and face the challenge together with god. Hold god tight and don't let go.

And again, my english is not good and I hope u don't mind I sharing this to u also. I don't know why I feel so much on u, I had the same feeling that u having last time.. I can't say its the same feeling I had been thru it, but when I read all ur conversation... I feels it. Thats why with my broken english I die die say share this out  doh.gif
agreed  nod.gif

Look, I never say that I gave up. I am not blaming god but all I can say is that there are some politics at church that are enormously ridiculous. I won't disclose to you the details but me and some friends tried to implement some basic stuff while serving but was refused due to competing politics from another more dominant group. So whats not to blame on human flaw?

This is why I don't count church mates to help me anymore....I am better off going out with non-christians or christians who backslided. Fail? Hey, don't draw conclusions. I have prayed. And I never say I will make big concessions until when i marry the non-christian, i let her live an unbeliever's life. I want to meet somebody who responds to god's call. I don't expect her to immediately become a christian, attend cg and start serving and immediate transformation.

That fella say I empty...ah...he wait lah. When he face his next big trial...see whether he (unknown warrior) thinks he will become "empty" like me. Bottom line is, we are human beings, god will not make us go through a trial we can't handle..but doesn't mean I cannot brainstorm and express myself.

Hi Fanta,

We share Christian knowledge here and learn from each other.

At times if you rarely meet with Christian Friends in your daily life, can be a challenge to keep yourself focus in the Lord.

Hi Warrior,

I am actually a Catechumen and yet to become a Catholic. I am undergoing RCIA class now. From there, I get to know quite a number of catholic friends from all-walks-of-life . Besides, my hubby who is a Catholic himself was quite involved in some parish church activities. Hence, I get to know some neighbours who are Catholics. Every weekend, we will organise bible reading session at one of our house and thereafter will be fellowship session.

Everyday, I will receive some Catholic news or material from my friends. Should you wish to be in my forwarding list, kindly send me your email address via message system here.

lol, you summon me, i summon the Holy Spirit for help, because all knowledge of truth comes from Him.


Erm, that link provided by Skydrake pretty much cover the difference.

There are a few things in Catholicism which I know of.

1. They have extra books in the Bible (canons or Apocrypha) which the Protestant discarded due to historical inaccuracies, fables and contradictions like the book of Tobit which emphasize works or self effort which contradict the meaning of grace in the book of Romans.

2. They believe in Prayer of the Saints and to Mary.

3. They consider Mary as the Mother of God, Queen of Heaven's Saint.

4. They believe Sin can be absolve through confessions to priests.

5. Very Ritualistic and the religious practise like burning of incense, basically it's very religion base as oppose to relationship base.

6. They believe in a temporary Heaven call purgatory

7. They believe the Pope is the supreme Authority in the Body of Christ

8. They believe Salvation need to be attained through works.

9. They have laws like Canon law (Catholics), Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC), 10 commandments, papal decrees and orders.

10. Can't think of any more, <feel free to add>


These are the few things that I believe does not fall in line with the Gospel of Christ.

Because I've always emphasize this which the RCC seem to ignore, The Gospel of Christianity is really about God's begotten son. The main story in the Old Testament and New Testament is about the love, grace and the redemption of Jesus Christ and No one else.

Some of the RCC revered the saint and mary to a divine state and is almost put side by side along with Jesus Christ. Of course some may say they are treated as secondary channel or backup to speed up the process of prayer but I find that hard to reconcile to the scripture. It's not there.

But never the less they are still Christians. There are charismatic/protestant Catholics who broke away from RCC. The key difference are doctrines and practises.

We shouldn't distance ourselves from Catholics as they are still our brother and sisters in Christ as well. We love them as our own.

At best, try to avoid condemning them, but walk with love.

Only be careful of the difference of doctrines. That's all.

Actually God can.

There's a misconception there about this.

if you read up Pehkay's devotion, he mentioned, God can remove his hand of grace to let us fall on purpose.

Do you know why?

So that you start looking to God for strength instead of being self confidence of your own ability.

This is very important and I hope all my friends in this thread take note, the moment things like this happens, straight away come to God

and relieve yourself of all your own abilities. Start Praying that you need to trust and rest in God more than before.

Sometimes crying out and simple prayer like, " God Help me, permit me to have a fresh revelation of the cross" is all you need.

Because the moment you start depending on God totally in spirit and in truth, He will come in and carry you and deliver his answer to your prayer.

When you say I can, God will probably let you go on your own

but When you say I cannot, God will say I can now come in and help you.


2 Corinthians 12:9

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
