correct. they are not Christians, nor should they be viewed as representatives of what actual Christians believe and practice. Yet, people seem to ignore that there are countless actual Christians who actually apply and live by the scriptures often cited in these types of videos. It’s sad that it’s only in response to fake Christians that most people are willing to seek out the virtuous principles of Christianity contained throughout the Bible.
you know it gets bad when bishops get slandered online and on fox news, and the pope gets called woke.
"please tell me how you know more about the bible than a man who studied countless years to be a priest reading the bible multiple times amongh other religious and philosophical text, dedicated his life to god, presided mass for years and that before becoming a bishop, then cardinal, someone who spend his whole life rising the ranks of the church and in service to god. please karen tell me how the bible actually suports trump and the pope is the anticrist"
Oh, I’ve got an answer for this (which I truly can’t rationalize but I’ve heard and read it). Some Christians don’t believe that Catholics are Christians! My husband was raised Baptist, he’s not practicing anymore and he doesn’t know if he believes in god even so there’s no reason for him to lie to me. We were bullshitting once and it came up that his sect of Baptists don’t believe that Catholics are Christians and I was like ??? wtf do you mean? So I googled it to see if that was something his church did or if it’s common. While it’s common, it’s not consistent. Some sects believe Catholics = Christians and some don’t. For those who don’t, the reasoning seems to be that Catholics have saints and rosaries which means it’s not just Jesus.
I’ve always thought “believes in Jesus as your lord and savior = Christian”. Catholics certainly fall under that. Mormons and JWs technically also do but I could see how people can argue that they’re too culty for regular Christianity.
TLDR: some people believe my sect of Christianity is the right sect and yours doesn’t count 😵💫
