Catholicism and Mexico

Born again is a euphamism for spiritual transformation, the kingdom of heaven is the natural state of the world that people tend not to recognize until that transformation. Jesus was not much different than Buddha.

Born-again is saying the words/prayer to accept Jesus Christ as your own personal Lord and Savior. The Kingdom of Heaven is just that--Heaven. Jesus is the Son of God who died on the cross for my sins, rose again, and sits next to His Father, God. He lives inside all His kids in the form of the Holy Spirit. Buddha was a fat teacher. I have never heard of anyone being healed in Buddha's name. I see it in Christian churchs all the time.
 
Why did you change my words?:mad:
because they were bald faced lies
I never use the term "Protestants".
I know like most protestants your arrgant enough to belive you can break away from catholicism and than tell catholics their not christian.
You are either a Bible-believing born-again Christian or a denomination-follower.
that is a false hood. it doesn't matter if your born again or not. it doesn't matter if you belong to denomination your still a christian if you believe in jesus.
I have no label. I am just a Christian.
wrong you have labels. your views are classified as fundementalist and evangelical. Ie you believe in returning to what you believe are the fundemeantals and trying to convert people.
Your deceit does NOT reflect the truth.:mad:
you can pout all you want mine "deceit" as you call it is the truth.
Haggard was an Evangelical freakshow.
yes and evangelicals are protestants like your self.
You don't understand the Bible so don't pretend you do.:mad:
No I understand it perfectly. I've read it cover to cover more than once. I'm not pretending. I'll leave that up to you.
The Bible says you must be Born Again to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

what chapter and verse. oh that's you can't because being born again isn't in the bible. the main difference between protestants like you self and catholics like I was is that protestants believe that evil people can get into heaven. catholics don't believe in suck loopholes.

Names never healed anyone. Positive thinking can go a long way, as well as the placebo effect. Jesus was a skinny teacher. Buddha was also skinny at times. It was the same basic method, meditation on spiritual issues in the wilderness, fasting, being apart from society. And they both realized the same thing, the essential unity of all things, which Jesus happened to call God.
 
when i hear the funda-MENTAL-ist spew their doctrine... a verse comes to mind

"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean.

Tips for backpackers who don't want to be murdered.
1. Go to countries where the religion is Muslim, Shinto, Buddhist or Greek Orthodox.
2. Go to anywhere in Europe apart from what was the Soviet Union.
3. Give Colombia a miss completely.
4. If you are in Australia, avoid the old hippy who has been on the road for thirty years.

Wow. Just wow.

Mexico is run by drug lords because those pious people in the US buy lots of drugs. If anything, Catholicism is in Mexico helping the poor people to survive. Those health, wealth, and prosperity folks in the US Protestant churches don't tend to go slumming in Mexico like the Preists who take a vow of poverty do. Some do, most don't.
