ArchivedIdolatry in ChristianitySo Aineo, that is from your theological viewpoint, methodists say the same about lutherans, and lutherans about eastern orthodox christians and eastern orthodox about calvinists, and calvinists about baptists, baptists about epicostals, and epicostals about the anglicans and the anglicans about the jesuits and the jesuits about the francisians and the fransicians about the methodists, and the circle is round... wich one has the best theology? do you know? cause they are all arguing for truth... and each one calls the other wicked and condemned, if they all are truth and all are condemned by the other, then all christians are wrong. And what is your truth? nothing more then similary dependant on your catholic, protestant or eastern orthodox upbringing, unless you are willing to look past that, and see the truth in all of them. secondly catholic church is the oldest, the largest and most organized doctrine on the face of the planet... so the bigger it is, and the older it is, the more there is to talk about of course, and the more dirt there is to bring up, i know about the great Schism wich seperated the eastern orthodox from the catholics in the 12th century, i know that the Thomas Aquinas a 13th century theologies are a corner stone of the vatican theology, i know about the Vatican II and all that stuff... i know that they once thought to be the only way for salvation (but see in the context of politics, a fundemental protestant group would claim exaclty the same when they would of been the largest christian group who saw that it's followers started to brake up) and neither weren't they entirly wrong... they are the very foundation of the spread of christianity in Europe and then the world, the RCC is founded upon the early church's fathers... and when the catholics said they were the only one's trough wich salvation was possible was because they were in their viewpoint the only church that didn't have corrupted teachings and were better then the rest, they wanted to win a theological war against the protestant... yet the new world arose and they had to adapt and give up their monopoly too a free market of salvation (the catholics knew back then, that salvation was for everybody, but i don't think they really wanted to admit that, if it ment their loss) and the pagan influences didn't alter or corrupt the bible did it? they acctually only merged 'christian tradition' in allready excisting pagan tradition, not vice versa... it was so, so that the roman world of that time could better adapt to the changes of state religion. Neither is any catholic praising Mitras, i doubt most of the catholics even know that mytholigal figure at all. Then how can you call them pagans? All catholic hollidays we have now are used fully for the praise of saints, martyrs and the lord allmighty... wichever god that had a holliday before is dissowned simple as that. |
