It is quite deniable. I have been involved in many parishes throughout my life. Fear of death is not even a component of faith. I am truly sorry that your fear that it is has you keeping your distance.I think it's undeniable that a component of Christianity is to be a soothing balm for those who are afraid of death.
And I say he isn'tThat's what I am saying. Seek God. I did. He can be found. He is.

Is that what you are telling yourself? You forget I have lived and participated in many Catholic parishes, and Catholics are the majority of Christians. I am as middle-of-the-road as it is possible to be. Also, my best friend was the daughter of a Presbyterian minister--yet our views were quite similar.I am truly sorry you have invented a version of Christianity that you believe applies to others.
The central theme of religion is to learn to know, love, and serve God in this life and continue with this in the next. We are also to love others as we love ourselves.I have to conclude you don't understand a central theme of the religion: eternal life and a father figure who looks over you, protecting you, as long as you follow the program.
I have no information about any history you have had with Catholic parishes. It sure read like your middle of the road Catholicism is in stark contrast to those Presbyterians.Is that what you are telling yourself?

Strange that the ten commandments make no mention of knowing, loving or serving God. The first commandment is something about, (paraphrasing), ''get with the program''.The central theme of religion is to learn to know, love, and serve God in this life and continue with this in the next.

It is not about protection--that isn't mentioned. Loving, serving, forgiving are our goals.
By the way, there is no "program".
That is what I was telling you--both are much the same. It is about loving and serving God and one another, and it is not about threatening people with hell. In my family, there are several Protestant denominations, and none of them focused much on hell. Love and service.I have no information about any history you have had with Catholic parishes.

Ah, the shallow version. One of the reasons The Ten Commandments grew to over six hundred in Judaism is due to explaining what it meant to love and serve One God and to not take His name in vain. Scanning over ten commandments is like reading Cliff Notes.Strange that the ten commandments make no mention of knowing, loving or serving God.

Strange. I've often read that Catholics see Presbyterians as unbelievers. I guess the Presbyterians need to get with the program,That is what I was telling you--both are much the same.

It sure sounds like Christianity, a syncretic faith taking its theology from Judaism, used the Cliffs notes.Ah, the shallow version.

Some dogma certainly differs. The main point remains.Strange. I've often read that Catholics see Presbyterians as unbelievers. I guess the Presbyterians need to get with the program,
If you like. We see it more as our roots are in Judaism.It sure sounds like Christianity, a syncretic faith taking its theology from Judaism, used the Cliffs notes.
Well of course. The people who read that took the prophecy and fulfilled it themselves by declaring a mangod.If you like. We see it more as our roots are in Judaism.
