Science, Creation & EvolutionGenesis: Lets cut to the chase...You don't have to buy pornographic videos and watch them and you don't have to fornicate. But I think it is freedom to have the decision for or against it. Yet I think the protection of the youth is important. I am baptized as a Roman Catholic (as about 30% of the Germans are). I have never heard a Roman Catholic priest teach a different way to salvation except through the belief in Jesus Christ. Roman Catholics believe in the Trinity of God, the divinity of Jesus, and the salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. or read the Nicene credo instead (though you will probably know that): We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten from the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of the same substance as the Father. Through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered, died, and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father (and the Son). With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen. It is important to notice, that the Roman Catholic Church of course has the claim to be the all-embracing Christian church. Yet true Roman Cathloics believe in salvation through Jesus. There is a difference between tolerance/respect and acceptance. I do not think it is necessary to take the Bible literally. It just lets you run in many problems and it does not help very much concerning faith - at least in my case. |
