Are Catholics Really Christians?

QUESTION: ARE CATHOLICS REALLY CHRISTIANS?

ANSWER: IF THIS WAS ACTUALLY ANOTHER  HONEST QUESTION OUT OF IGNORANCE, THEN SURE WITHOUT GOING INTO ANY FUNDAMENTALS, THEY CERTAINLY FROM TIME IMMEMORIAL ARE CHRISTIANS. THEY BELIEVE IN CHRIST AS THE ONLY WAY TO GOD THE FATHER AND ETERNAL LIFE. PLEASE LETS ENDEAVOR TO MAKE A LITTLE RESEARCH BEFORE STARTING SUCH TOPIC. I FIND THEM RATHER UNBECOMING. EVER HEARD OF THE APOSTLES CREED(PRAYER OF SALVATION)

If Catholics follow Christ they will be Christians

But since they choose to follow, Mary, Saints and the Pope

they are now Popetians, e.t.c not Christians!

Mr MAn

i was Catholic

And i am being objective!!!

If you follow Christ, you are Christian!

Christian as you would know is not about follow follow

There is only One we look unto

And thats God, Christ

Because my Dad is Christian(follows Christ)
And i follow him dose not qualify me for redemption

Christianity is a PERSONAL Race

if d pope is following Christ and they are following pope
Na inside pit, them go end.
Blind no fit lead Blind

Divisions?

What do you term a Division?

Any religion/sect/any name you could call it

that dosnt preach Jesus As Christ/Savior, the Spiritual Birth and as the only way to the Father is

not even christian to begin with.

It is false!

BIA MRS GIRL@ GAMINE

YOU WERE  CATHOLIC, I NOW SEE WHY YOUR VIEW ARE JAUNDICED. IT DOSENT MATTER THOUGH THAT You WERE ONCE CATHOLIC AS I SEE YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE ANY  FACT TO BACK UP YOUR ARGUMENT AND ITS OF NO ESSENCE RESPONDING TO YOUR BLIND ARGUMENT. I WONDER WHAT KIND OF CATHOLIC You WERE ANYWAY! LETS NOT UNDERMINE THE IMPORTANCE OF A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF RESEARCH BEFORE SCRIBBLING NOTHING OR BETTER STILL WE KEEP QUIET TILL WE COME UP WITH ENOUGH FACTS FOR OUR ARGUMENT.

@Ganjaseed, Gamine
Kindly explain how the teachings of the Roman catholic Church are contrary to Christ's teachings.

gamine, please do well to show how catholics follow the pope and not jesus.

Funny how most people that claim they left the catholic church for pentecostal churches know little about the church they claim to leave from.

The cardinal issue is how people will beleive anything their pastors tell 'em. In my 100L in uni one deeper life came out accusing catholics of worshipping Nimrod.
in my 16 years (at that time) of being a catholic i had never heard of anyone called Nimrod. yet this guy walked away unconvinced.
Go figure


You really have to be the most stupid person i've come across in 2008.
Afterall, if we all believe that all mexicans are greaseball illegal immigrants, drug smugglers and louts (based on portayal on TV) where does that leave you?
you, stranger, are an idiot.

@texazzpete

I GAT YOUR BACK BROTHER. I REALLY CANT IMAGINE HOW CERTAIN PEOPLE REASON

If you guys are not catholics and don't understand what it is to be one, please just ask reasonable questions or just shut up. Don't condemn what you don't know about lest you commit sin out of ignorance caused by your silliness.

Yes Catholics Are Christians

Um Mother Theresa of Calcuta was a CATHOLIC NUN. Her missionary of charity is made up of catholic nuns.

Please I would like to make a little contribution to the 'debate'.  I am writing this peacefully, je je-ly, and respectfully to all parties.  I have found that argument and strife will always exists amongst doctrinal religionist for a very simple reason.  No two human beings can think the same thing about the same topic/doctrine.  To the extent that we are all individuals then our concepts and beliefs will reflect this individuality. 
Hence as soon as christianity gets reduced to a doctrinal matter it becomes a cat and dog fight.  What a lot of new age pentecostalists do not realise is that many of the points that they accept as being christian were argued over by the Catholic and Orthodox churches of the first millenium to the present day. The very divinity of Jesus christ was argued over for many decades before it was decided that yes indeed he was divine, and not only divine but one and the same as God, the father. Every time the church agreed on one doctrine it would then hound those that didn't believe it as heretics.  Many times over the course of it's history various christians kept finding themselves being safe one minute and then excluded as heretics the next only to be reinstated as orthodox yet again.  Being Christian is not an intellectual exercise, but rather it is living life with power and authority through grace.

I would highly recommend that everyone spends some time studying the history of the Church.  Especially the first 500 years from the time of Paul to the time that Rome fell to the barbarians.
