Any Christian Aspies here?

It appears you have a very strange idea of what Catholocism entails. Catholics only worship God, the trinity. We don't worship Mary or the saints or the Pope. We honor Mary because in the Bible, Jesus made her our spiritual mother. Jesus also honored Mary and we are to imitate Jesus. The Apostles honored Mary, the early christians honored Mary and since Catholocism is the original Christiantiy, we do the same.


I'm sorry, but I'll take my interpretation of the Bible from the Apostles and early church fathers, not a group that didn't come about for nearly 1600 years later.

...you healed cancer...

You do know that the trinity is a mainstream protestant belief right?

Also, If you can get through the Nicene Creed with no issues, anyone who can get through that is my brother/sister in Christ.

Yes I do know, thats why, much as Id love too, I dont attend any of thier church's, I was even brought up for a while in Church of England Childrens homes, so have an emotional attachment as well.

Just ask the Jews about wiether or not God is a Trinity, they should know as they wherre the only people to be in such a very close relationship with him.

A while back, 91, I was cooped in an environment with a very pleasant friendly young part Indian Mauritian and a really obnoxious misanthropic and racist Frenchman. The Mauritian considered himself French and thought the Frenchman as a compatriot. The Frenchman saw the mongrel Mauritian as an excrescence best removed from the planet.

There are situations where brotherhood is unilateral. Ask my brother about me.

Hmm, yeah I'm gonna have to refine my parameters some. Here goes:

chrissyrun: I appreciate your thoughts and comments, but I'm well acquainted with the Mormons and have been educated on their doctrine for about ten years. Nothing against you personally, and in fact I've had some good friends who are Mormons, but I disagree with any statement that we believe in the same being we each call Christ. I actually had a Mormon missionary come to my door about a year ago. We had a lengthy debate in my doorway and I finally got him to admit that his god was not the same as my God. The thing to note is the terminology is quite similar between the two, but what a term means to a Christian has an entirely different meaning to a Mormon. There are some very striking differences though, once you start digging deeper. Like, we do not recognize Joseph Smith as a prophet. Jesus Christ is eternal, both past and future - not created, but who actually created time itself with a specific starting and ending point, and who actually transcends that time-line. This would not describe the Mormon god. God did not come from a distant planet called Kolob. Human beings do not have the opportunity to become gods of their own planets. Etc. Its not the same. You can have your beliefs and call yourselves Mormons I'm fine with that, but please do not call yourselves Christians, it only confuses people. You should really dive into the Journal of Discourses (Mormon writings) sometime. The stuff in there will shock the pants off you!

Also, for any Catholics out there: I'm sure you're nice people but... thanks, but no thanks. I worship God alone, not his earthly mother, nor idols, nor tradition, nor other dead Christians, nor a man in the Vatican who likes to dress silly and make himself look like he's better than everybody else. I do not believe in human authority over other human beings; only God is my authority, I recognize no other. I believe salvation is a free gift of God by grace through faith and not by works, lest anyone should boast - its right there in the book check it out. Also there is no mediator between God and man, but Jesus Christ - that's in the book too, so no, priests have no authority to forgive anything. Might want to consider that at the confession booth... On the plus side, God does not demand a percentage of your money to go to some institution. You don't owe the "church" anything. All God wants is your voluntary love, and to accept his in return. That's it. Consider the fact that its the one and only thing God does not already possess. He already owns the world and everything in it. But your voluntary love is the one thing he does not possess until you give it to him.

Kilroy: I'm very curious. Why do you base your own belief system on the fact that others are "insane"? Many many many out there are insane but my acceptance of the Lord's payment for my sins (which is what its really all about) has nothing to do with their insanity. Why would I refuse a gift from my creator just because other human beings are being stupid? That's kinda silly.

Oh dear, I don't mean to debate, really.. I'm just hoping to maintain the parameters of the kind of people I'm looking to meet - Believers in Jesus Christ, the one true God of the entire universe, who made everything ex-nihilo (out of nothing), and outside of which exists nothing. My intent is to identify those who also follow this God, not to tell people they are wrong, although that tends to happen.

I contend we are both atheists, I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.

You bet! Done it dozens of times.

The last person I prayed for (six weeks ago) had been told to go to hospice and wait for the end. Three churches had prayed for her, not stopping her decline. I prayed for her with no effect. I asked her if she had heard voices. She said yes, these "beings" had come to her at 3 in the morning, waking her up. They touched her and she couldn't stop them. One of them touched her and she developed cancer at that spot.

Sorcerers! I cast the demons out of them, their properties and their organizations. Then I gave them a divine blessing. I cut Winneshet free from any soul ties. I cast any demons out of her. Then I prayed for her for ten minutes. Cancer was gone, but there was still some lung damage. The Lord told me to leave the rest for her church. She ended up completely healed.

I don't believe the christian god is my creator, I believe as a human, I am not enlightened enough to know the truth of creation
it can't be so simple

Jews don't recognize Jesus as God so of course they wouldn't believe in the Trinity.

They dont recognise Jesus as the messiah, but I wasnt suggesting they recognise Jesus at all.
The Jews knew God, knew that he was "one" as revealed to Moses in a world full of pagan Trinity gods, and they where expecting a messiah because it had been prophiesied to them, that Messiah wasnt in any way said to be God coming in mans form.
The Jesus bit is irrelivant to the point I was making.
