Would you attend a Catholic wedding?

What is wrong with dancing, anyway? I hear people complain about it on this site all the time, but this site is the first place I have heard anything bad about dancing.

The last I heard, the RCC allows interfaith marriages if the non-Catholic promises to allow the children to be raised Catholic.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

This has been true for many years. It was true when my mother (catholic) married my dad (agnostic) in 1945. They had to be married in the rectory, not the church, and they had to agree to raise the children RC. My three sisters and I were.

My mother died in 1986 never knowing the grace of Christ; my dad died in 1999 at 81, recieving Christ as Savior at 80.

 

Bro Chris,

RE: Catholic family...

&gt;&gt;My three sisters and I were. &gt;&gt;

And your sisters, have they known His grace?

My mother made a profession of sorts, but she's the only one in my immediate family of
parents, 4 sisters and a brother.

Hank:

My three sisters remain cultural, agnostic catholics. Since I was saved by Christ and entered seminary to train for Baptist ministry, I have been cut off from the family, viewed as a religious "nut".

Catholics can be the hardest group to reach for Christ; I will pray for your family.

 

&gt;&gt;I will pray for your family.&gt;&gt;

Thank you Chris and ditto.
One of my sisters is a JW.

What a strange place this is.

I suppose you believe that either catholics are saved, thereby denying the entire Protesant Reformation, as well as Galatians 1:6-9, or that all people "of faith" are saved and need no evangelism?

 

Hi,
Just as a point to everyone that has made a statement about the Mormen Weddings.... If you are not LDS you will never be invited to the wedding. The reception, yes, but never the wedding. The LDS are married/sealed at the temple and you are not allowed in the temple if you are not LDS.

Chris,

I don't believe that their is any more ignorance or apostasy among Roman Catholics than there is among baptists. Certainly there is some unhealthy baggage in RCC theology, but that does not mean that members of the church do not have healthy relationships with Christ.

Unhealthy baggage? You mean like Marian worship, saint worship, idolatry in the mass, an unscriptural priesthood, works salvation, prayers for the dead, etc etc.

The RCC is a church of Satan, "having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!" (2 Timothy 3:5)

They hold and teach a false gospel of works, instead of grace alone through fath alone in Christ alone. They understand neither total depravity nor regeneration by the Spirit. They are, anathema.

The only thing you've got right is that many baptists are in the same such situation.

Matt 7:22 "Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’
23 "And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Exactly what part of the mass did you not have a problem with: the transubstantiation of wine and a cookie into the literal body and blood of Christ, or the resacrificing of Christ on the altar, or the prayers to Mary?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

I do not know much about Catholics.
If a Catholic is Born again then they are my brothers and sisters in Christ.

If you are born again then you are my Brother or Sister in Christ( I have met both male and females named Chris).

The only problem that I had was that the wafer had a funny texture to it.
I am still not sure if The Catholic Priest would have approved of me participating since i am not a member of the Roman Catholic Church. I didn't ask!
I don't think that I will loose my salvation over participating in the one mass that I participated in 20 years ago.

But if you have a problem with Catholics I would suggest that you talk to a priest about your problem you have with them, maybe he could give you the reasons that they believe differently than you do on certain issues.
God Bless and Refresh you.

Agreed. But there is a name for a regenerate catholic - Protestant

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> If you are born again then you are my Brother or Sister in Christ( I have met both male and females named Chris). <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Agreed again. (It's male - Christian, by the way.)

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> The only problem that I had was that the wafer had a funny texture to it. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

If that's the only problem you have, you need to learn more about catholicism and the Mass. There is a doctrine of transubstantiation they believe in - that "wafer" you ate is the literal, flesh of Christ, according to the RCC. Didn't you see it change when the priest performed his magic?

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> I am still not sure if The Catholic Priest would have approved of me participating since i am not a member of the Roman Catholic Church. I didn't ask! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Some do, some don't. If one was a committed Catholic priest, he would not offer the eucharist to a non-catholic. Even catholics cannot partake of the eucharist unless they have confessed to a priest and had their sins absolved.


<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> I don't think that I will loose my salvation over participating in the one mass that I participated in 20 years ago. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Certainly not; though it was a participation in a blasphemous ritual, "since they crucify the Son of God on their own account and hold him up to contempt." (Heb 6:6)

Thanks, but I am quite familiar with the RCC, having been born into it and raised RCC for 17 years.

My problem is not with catholics - who are dumb sheep led astray by an apostate church, and need the true gospel of Jesus Christ - but it is with the Church, who knowingly lead their sheep down the road of ruin.

If you would care to know more about the apostasy of the RCC, check out Mike Gendron's ministry to them at www.pro-gospel.org

This is not entirely true. I attended a Mormon wedding in a Mormon Church. Though it was small compared to many of the "Temples" I've seen. I don't know if they washed the carpets afterward or had them torn up, but I do know that it was a Mormon church. Then again, there may be a difference between Mormon churches and Temples.

AMEN Brother!

 

Hey Chris Temple,
Would you go to an Episcopal Wedding?
How about a nazarene Wedding?
OR how about Methodist Wedding?
How about a Pentecostal Wedding?
Would you Go to a Cooperative Baptist Fellowship Wedding?
How about a Word of Faith Wedding?
Would you go to a Lutheran Wedding?
Would you go To Church of Christ Wedding?
How about a justice of the peace at a Courthouse?

How about an Elvis impersonator at a Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas?
Would you go to a non Baptist Wedding?
Just Curious?

Gee, your tone certainly changed from "God Bless and Refresh you", didn't it?
