The One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Church
Yet again, UKoK has done it again...made a great post about how the Roman Catholic Church is the one true Church of God. I had quickly skimmed over it and got read somethings said by the Protestant defenders. With all due respect to them, I would point out two things about what they said. First of all, they said that every Christian had the same Faith. This is false, for example some Catholics think that the Muslims have the same Faith, because they believe in only one God. How could the Faiths be the same when there are SO many differences in actions and belief. It is the same between the Roman Catholics and the Protestants, we may believe in the same God but not in everything else for instance the Mass and its meaning. Secondly, they mentioned Purgatory and how they didn't get it, if you think the same way try reading C.S. Lewis' book, "The Great Divorce." I don't know if it agrees with the Church or vice versa but it explains everything so well. It is about a vision/dream that C.S. Lewis had where he goes to Purgatory, Heaven and Hell.

James, I posted more...I sure hope you get some time to share with UKOK, esp. I pray that her kids in the UK will have more opportunities for things like our retreats here. They would love these!
Christians know only One God, who is the Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Muslims, on the other hand, also know only One God (called Allah), who explicitly says that he is NOT the Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ergo, Muslims and Christians, though they use the same word (God), do not refer to the same person. God is or He ain't and if He is the Father of Jesus, then He ain't Allah and vice versa.
I don't get what it is that makes it so difficult for some Christians to understand.
God is or He ain't.
