Quote HistoryQuoted: So Catholic church isn’t christian. You’ve been in GD too long. PROTESTANT your wife is a PROTESTANT Eta The Catholic and Orthodox churches have apostolic succesion Your wife’s (and any protestant church does not) This. I get SO tired of the "you're not a Christian" stuff. Not calling you out OP. Just a general statement based on the many religious threads that I've seen here over the years. If you believe that Christ is your savior you're a Christian. It's not up to other people to decide whether you're in the right club. They think it is, but they're no better or worse than anyone else and should focus on their own homes and not others' homes. |

Just a find a church you both like, you can watch the service online for most churches these days. Get up next sunday make a nice big breakfast and sit at home and watch a handful of churchs in your area see what you like. This way you can cover 3 or 4 in a day to get a vibe.

Quoted: When I married my wife, she was very Christian. I, on the other hand was born Catholic, baptized at birth, went to Catholic school, but as I became an adult I didn't really go to church much at all. She got me to start going to church again with her, but I really don't like the style of the church that she goes to. But I go every week with her and our daughter. I am of the belief that as long as you love and believe in Jesus Christ, it doesn't matter what the denomination is, whether it be Baptist, Catholic, Lutheran, Apostolic, etc I don't think any of them are wrong and they follow the same bible. It just depends on what style you like your church to be. She likes the Apostolic church with the preacher. It's very loud, a lot of yelling, speaking in tongues etc. I just don't like that. I like a calmer and more traditional church experience like the Catholic church offers. In fact, my wife was out of town today visiting family out of state and she told me to go to church. I did. But I went to Catholic church for the first time today in probably a decade. And I really enjoyed it. Is there any way you think we could solve this? I don't think her mind is going to change and mine isn't going to either. And no, we aren't going to get divorced over it. But it's kind of a weird situation. Both of you could go to RCIA and learn about the Catholic Church, then debate it pragmatically between yourselves. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Being Catholic does Not make someone a Christian Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Catholics are Christian Being Catholic does Not make someone a Christian My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, 'If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.'. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- 'Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 28, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because your post gave me cancer anyway. |

There’s a lot of differences between a charismatic denomination, probably Pentecostal, and Catholics. I would research and find out where y’all stand and how that fits Biblically. If you believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and that he has saved you by grace through faith alone, then you’re good to go and can go to a church you feel comfortable. I would recommend an evangelical denomination, Baptist, Presbyterian, non denominational etc. where they’re not as fantastical as Pentecostals (many also hold heretical beliefs too).

Oi. Lots to unpack here, but I’m on my phone and don’t have time to write a dissertation on it.
1) The early Church was simply community. It was people with the same theological framework living and communing with each other as they sought the face of God and worshipped Him. I imagine there was some structure to it (there even sects as early as the Church existed), but it’s important not to forget its primary role. Without a community of faith, the individual cannot grow. Hell, most directives found in scripture deal with how were to live in community with one another. 2) Denominations are mostly unimportant as long as the basics of scripture are maintained. Unfortunately, wholeness—which is really antithetical to the core tenets of Scripture—has infected many denominations, so you do have to do your research. So at the end of the day, if you’re at a church that both adheres to the core tenets of the scriptures and has a community that you think you can engage in (read: has people you like and have things in common with), that’s probs where you want to be. I was raised in the Southern Baptist church, studied theology in college, and have experienced many, many different churches (at one point it was part of my job), and have become much less particular about, well, the particulars that a lot of people get hung up on. I have reservations about the Catholic Church in general, but I think if you find a good local one it’s probably fine. I suspect there’s about as much it gets wrong/right as most of the Protestant denominations. That said, as the spiritual head of the household, the duty to find the proper community of faith for your family ultimately rests with you, but if your wife is dead set against your choice, yeah, you’ll need to figure that out I guess. It’s a bit tricky. |
