[quote]Christianize the Catholic Church[/quote]
i lol'd soooo fucking much

i think there is a reason for the Catholic Church to not be FULLY Christianized (ON THEIR TERMS). see, they are technically a bit Christianized (FUCK I DIDNT GET SOME OF THIS WORDED RIGHT). Catholics believe similar things to evangelicals, such as the fact that God is three-in-one. (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.) they also agree that Jesus is God the Son in a humanized form.

BUT, A VERY VERY IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE is that they have a different thing of how people should be accepted into Heaven and such. See, evangelicals believe that anyone who has true faith in Jesus "if they trust him with their lives and follow him - then they are made totally acceptable to God because of Jesus’ death (Romans 3:23-26)" also, "it doesn’t depend on how good a life we live but only on our trust in Jesus. If we follow Jesus, we are guaranteed a place in Heaven when we die (Luke 23:43)." Catholics, though, believe that a spot in Heaven determines the life they have lived. So, if they have lived a good life (in their terms) then they should be in Heaven.

Another is that evangelicals believe that in the Bible, God speaks to them about himself and how he wants them to live. Catholics also believe that he speaks through the teaching of the Catholic Church and the Pope. There's big differences. That's why there's a difference between thee beliefs of Evangelicals and Catholics. And that's why they have different view on true Christianity.

So, they probably seperated based on these core differences, and made this...fuckin' Catholic Chruch. THEY WILL ALSO POSSIBLY NEVER CHANGE THEIR VIEW ON CHRISTIANITY.

fuck, too shitty can't understand, different views on christianity, technically two types, they are christianized in a/two way(s), in their way, and slightly in the evangelical/your way.

Coming from an atheist POV, I may not know about christianity and how to word shit about religion, so sorry if it's hard to understand. Very sorry.
