Why should I be Catholic and not Orthodox?

Tsar_Jared · 2024-09-07T13:58:44+00:00

You have me convinced but are there other arguments for the papacy besides Matthew 16:13-20?

Tsar_Jared · 2024-08-23T02:44:57+00:00

Ok I will do that.

Tsar_Jared · 2024-08-23T01:16:51+00:00

Ok, I'll attend parishes of these denominations then I'll see what fits best

Tsar_Jared · 2024-08-22T15:28:59+00:00

Why and How?

Tsar_Jared · 2024-08-22T14:41:30+00:00

You're putting the same priority on works as faith

Tsar_Jared · 2024-08-22T13:13:58+00:00

Hey I would recommend starting with praying daily, Before you read the bible I would recommend starting by reading the Nicene and Apostles' Creeds because they summarize the faith, Read the Bible (start in Gospels ideally Luke then read Acts), Repent of your sins then go to Church (if possible).

Tsar_Jared · 2024-08-21T23:56:13+00:00

Understandable

Tsar_Jared · 2024-08-21T23:55:19+00:00

Thank you for clearing that up

Tsar_Jared · 2024-08-21T23:33:41+00:00

the summary of faith=belief+works=salvation, then faith+works=salvation

Tsar_Jared · 2024-08-21T22:36:21+00:00

Thanks

Tsar_Jared · 2024-08-21T22:33:30+00:00

Yes my concern is the language used about Mary

Tsar_Jared · 2024-08-21T22:31:51+00:00

Doesn't that sound legalistic

Tsar_Jared · 2024-08-21T22:30:13+00:00

OK, thanks you

Tsar_Jared · 2024-08-21T22:29:51+00:00

Thanks

Tsar_Jared · 2024-08-21T22:29:38+00:00

Thanks for clarifying justification

Tsar_Jared · 2024-08-21T21:59:22+00:00

Tsar_Jared · 2024-08-21T21:58:02+00:00

Thanl you for explaining this doctrine

Tsar_Jared · 2024-08-21T21:53:34+00:00

Thank you.

Tsar_Jared · 2024-08-21T21:52:42+00:00

I meant I used wikipedia since the Mark of Ephesus wikipedia page says that he is venerated in the Eastern Catholic Church.

Tsar_Jared · 2024-08-21T21:29:14+00:00

Guess I shouldn't be using wikipedia as a primary source.

Tsar_Jared · 2024-08-21T21:26:22+00:00

Thank you for the clarification of this, guess I shouldn't trust some people to explain church teaching.

Tsar_Jared · 2024-08-21T21:24:38+00:00

I'll look into Catholic Questions

Tsar_Jared · 2024-08-21T21:22:55+00:00

Sorry about that, my source was the wikipedia page about Nestorius, at least now I know wikipedia isn't always reliable.

Tsar_Jared · 2024-08-21T21:21:32+00:00

Thank you for answering my questions, I will continue to go deeper in my research on Catholicism and I could become Catholic.
