This article is very inaccurate. Catholicism is the original Christianity and is the complete and perfect embodiment of all Christ teachings. If you are Catholic, you are Christian... you strive to be Christ like through your works.

If you believe that the word is God and the word became flesh in Jesus and Jesus is 100% God and 100% human then he makes no mistake about what he says as it is written in the holy bible... this leads me to complete trust in what is written even when I do not understand for His thoughts are higher than my thoughts and his ways higher than my ways. I would like to take every word of the Bible and naw on it until I understand.

I would like to point out the inaccuracies of this post.. I have never heard of any non-denominational Christian church that believes you are saved when you are baptized, you are saved instantly when you put your faith in Christ.. You can be baptized later as a public confession of your faith, but it in no way decides whether you are saved or not. The only way to be saved is to put your faith in Christ that he died for your sins, defeated death, and rose from the grave..

Being a CHRISTIAN is the only way! John 14:6 Whoever wrote this is obviously not a CHRISTIAN! Or maybe a new CHRISTIAN that needs time to mature. The moment you put your trust in Jesus as Lord you are saved! Through grace alone through faith alone in Christ Jesus alone. Baptism dose not save at all, but is a public confession demonstrating the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus! 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 FIND CHRIST PLEASE!

I would like to applaud the writer for putting in a good effort to explain the difference between Catholicism and Christianity. As one person it is difficult to know everything that makes two religions different event though they have similar origins. Catholicism and Christianity have developed amongst different socio-culture factors and have different historical events across almost two thousand years! At the end of the day if God can see the heart of every person and he wishes for that heart to be turned towards him, which also means to love your neighbour as you love yourself, then it doesn't matter if you are Christian or Catholic.

To better understand why Catholics believe what they do I would encourage my fellow Christians to read The early church father's .

Catholicism puts the Pope ahead of normal people in the church. Sure, the pastor and the church elders play a very important role, but they are still seen as equal to the attendees of the church. Also, Catholics tend to pray by reciting verses, instead of directly from the heart.

Several years back God blessed with the holy spirit and born again. I was between a rock and a hammer and God provided me his hand and guided me out of my selfish lifestyle. I am a new student but have read several different bibles. All I am looking for in this upside down world is the truth. In reading the comments, I must say that there are many confused with the teaching of Jesus. First we must humble ourselves and if a fellow christian is incorrect, restore them gently. I don't claim to be an expert, but I see to many proud people in these posts. Not very humble. I was raised Catholic, but I didn't pay attention as a child and got lost in the traditions. I consider myself to be a christian and follow the teachings in the bible. A few things I see which contradict the bible is Sunday is the first day of the week. God Rested on Saturday, the seventh day of the week. Jesus's teachings were pretty harsh when it comes to his laws. Adultery is forbidden even in looking at someone else with lust has committed adultery. There are many scriptures in the bible which condemn homosexuality. There is no difference in lusting after a someone of the same sex as lusting after the opposite sex. Accepting the homosexual behavior is going against Gods laws and accepting satan's deception. It doesn't mean we should persecute them, we should love them. If you choose to be proud, teach others a distorted version of God's laws, and live your life per mans thinking, you will not be shown the grace of our most wonderful and generous creator. You will end up in shoel. The path to heaven is narrow the path to destruction is wide and deep. Please read and absorb the scriptures and love one another. The harvest is plenty and the laborers are few. Our days are numbered and we don't know when Jesus will come, so make every minute count. I love you all.
