So first, an apology. It would seem most people who came to this video were looking for differences between Catholics and Protestant Christians. I've now made a video addressing that very question. It's a bit longer, and goes through history, earthly organisation, and beliefs. Check it out on my channel, or click the links I've embedded in this video.
I thought Catholics were related to Holy roman empire who killed Jesus and as christianity was spreading widely converted to christianity on their own terms to rule the new religon.
shiv bhonsle The Holy Roman Empire was founded in 800 AD. The “Catholic” or “universal” church was founded by Jesus upon St. Peter. Jesus was killed by the pagan Roman Empire and Peter was killed in Rome on Vatican hill in the 60s AD. His successors reign till the present day from that spot.

@@cl1qr567 I think the question we all have is : What's the DIFFERENCE between a Christian-Catholic and a Christian, what they do that make them different. I wasn't looking for statistics. Let's begin saying that Christians are not part of the Roman Catholic Church , let's begin saying that they don't attend any Catholic church at all. Christian don't have priests but pastors... I think that was OUR question! Have a nice day, thanks!
ellestronger Catholics ARE Christians whether it suits your tribal sentiments or not. In fact you are trying to steal the Christian identity of original Christianity. That's identity theft.
@@josephessien-obot9853 and yeah I Catholics aren't all Christians first 1.Christians believe the only way into heaven is through accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and saviour. Catholics on the other hand believe that you go to heaven through your works on earth. 2.Christians pray directly to God Catholics pray through saints to deliver their message to God 3.Catholics have the pope Christians do not have someone like that. 4.Christians go to church on Sunday Catholics attend church several times a week 5.Catholics also believe in mary as the Queen of saints Christians believe she was full of sin just like the rest of us This is just scratching the surface yeah Catholics believe in Jesus and God but there is so many differences between the two of us its like islam , muslim people believe in God as well so are they suddenly Christian , no they are not just like Catholics aren't Christian they are Catholic
Woooo, Ukrainian rite Catholic here :) Basically it means that some Ukrainians who were Orthodox came BACK to the Catholic faith, but kept their Eastern Traditions. :)
You are right. I could create videos describing the differences between Christian denominations, but they are all still Christian. That wasn't the point of this video. The point was to determine what makes a person Christian, and that by that definition all Catholics are Christian.
but you titled the video "The difference between Catholics and Christians". If this was your mission, you should have titled the video "All Catholics are Christians".
I'm Catholic 33yrs old now and can answer this question mainly that from what i am aware of and looked into is that Chrisitans dont believe that Mary was the mother of God and a Virgin blessed by God to give birth to Jesus Christ, they also dont pray the hail mary pray and maybe more, its actually sad that we are seperated by our churches also..
This video begins with an incorrect definition of what or who is a Christian. To be a genuine Christian you must also believe: 1. Jesus is God 2. Jesus died on the cross for their sins. 3. Jesus Rose from the dead and is still alive today.
PATRICK McShane JWs also believe that Jesus is Michael the Archangel, a created being. Whereas the Bible teaches that Jesus always existed, He was never created, and in fact, Jesus is the Creator. Which is why JWs are not considered to be Christians. Like all false cults, JWs teach that they are the only Christians on the planet.
@@pastorart1974 well to be fair the English translation of the Bible is a bit nuance since Michael means "looks like God/Jesus). again nuanced and its the only time arch angle is used in the Bible so it could make sense that conflation could be made Jesus was referring to himself by a different name I'm not sure need to read up on the translations and context just adding a bit of info to this discussion to help understand the other side Ps. Not a JW I'm Catholic
“I will go peaceably and firmly to the Catholic Church: for if Faith is so important to our salvation, I will seek it where true Faith first began, seek it among those who received it from God Himself.” (St Elizabeth Anne Seton)
@Saneliso Masinga says the ignorant and the closest to paganism, first go learn a few things all the bibles you protestants have is because the Catholic Church made it in the year 382... So you are using and know God because of a pagan book. Use your brains.
@@dallashill5771 the idolatry is in the mind of people who are gods everywhere. If you understand what I mean, repent from your idolatry and look for truth and God.
thank you, after looking several videos that started to went deep into details of their own religions finally I found this video which answers exactly the question
“Difference between Catholics and Christians” Catholic is a branch of Christianity, Protestantism and orthodoxy are also branches of Christianity. Christianity as a whole is all of them
Well certainly not Catholic at any rate which of course is the one true, original and authentic church. But Protestants can be Christians of the are baptized in the Trinity with water and believe that Jesus is their savior. Some Protestants are not baptized correctly ..eg asked to believe that Jesus is their savior only.... This is not a correct form of baptism and therefore in this example, they are not Christians. Being a Christian is somewhat of an objective standard.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CATHOLIC AND CHRISTIAN - ---a Christian is one who adheres to Christ as Lord and Saviour and believes in the Bible the Word of God sola scriptura that he is saved by grace through faith in Christ's blood atonement for the forgiveness of his sins as doctrine of salvation, while a Catholic is one who adheres to the Roman Catholic church and the Pope for his doctrine of salvation,and not on the Bible. not by faith alone but by faith and works , and there is no assurance of salvation, he has to wait until judgment day or go to purgatory after death to know his fate or destiny. in other words, for a Catholic, salvation is an ambiguous term, there is no clearcut definition, because it depends on what the Pope says. not on the Bible the Word of God, as faith cometh by hearing the word ofGod. Romans 10:17 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SvTL-5GqOIQ.html
@@jshuabrown9968 christians do not believe in praying to mary or to anyone other than Jesus, indulgences, that the priest can forgive your sins, that if your not catholic you wont be in the New World with Jesus, purgatory, that the pope is sinless and that whatever he says is above God, killing Christians that wont convert ( and if you dont think its not going on, do some research). Extra Biblical info ( true Christians read the Bible and study it to shew thyselves worthy unto God; they do not accept what others say unless its in the Bible, i could go on and on...
@@vickyesperanza8267 when you say that Christian's only marry jesus then that's not true at all but well I guess you know more than beacuse there is no point if this
Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Ephesians 2:8-9 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
I am Catholic but I believe that Jesus (Rom.8:34) and the HS (Rom. 8:26-27) intercedes for us. Mama Mary IS NOT our intercessor. The Pope is wrong. If only we Catholics delve into the 66, not 73 books of the Bible. We will see that most of the teachings of the leaders of our Catholic faith are unbiblical. Let's read the Bible & start questioning the Vatican. Catholics are the first Christians. The first Christians know the Old Testament by heart.
That's my prob with athiest too. Whenever I ask. "OK but why doesn't God exist?" They just say. Idk I just dont belive. Altho they are some good arguments its still not enough for me to have enoguht faith to be a athiest
@@RKYadav-je8xe you just did what he said you give no evidence tell my how did atoms starting mixing together to form a cell from a explosion unless a God came and breathed life him being the reason random unliving atoms suddenly gained a mind and body
Compare Christianity with a cake. Most important part is the cake, not the icing. To me it's much tastier with the icing but for some maybe not. Catholic church promotes the cake with icing and others promote it without. The choice is yours. In the final analysis it's between you and God and not between you and the church
The difference as I understand it is that catholics believe in faith and works for their salvation and other Christian’s believe salvation is by faith and the works follow naturally out of the desire god puts in them to be sanctified. Ephesians 2: 8-9
Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Ephesians 2:8-9 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
There is no difference both Catholics and Protestants both need Jesus perfect Sacrifice for salvation. What I think is the Catholics put emphasis upon the role of Pope, Priests, Nuns, but especially the Church’s role in Salvation. The Church is there for worship and teaching but only God can forgive sin so the Priest is another word for pastor but he can’t forgive any Sins.
I'm Catholic and can mainly answer this question that from what i am aware of and have looked into is that Chrisitans dont believe that Mary was the mother of God and a Virgin that was blessed by God to give birth to Jesus Christ, Christians also dont believe in saints as we do, and also dont pray the hail mary and maybe more?.. its actually sad that we are seperated by our churches also..
Its actually sad that we are all seperated and never mentioned to anglican and other main chrisitanity, we all believe in Jesus Christ the Son of God..
Thank you so much for this simple explanation of differences that have been the basis of hundreds of years of European politcal, religious wars & power. I completely agree with your last statement of us simply worshiping God together ❤
Great video! Short and simple and ACCURATE! So many other videos on this topic tend to treat it as if Catholics and "Christians" are two different religions. And, unfortunately, even many Christians (including Catholics) seem to misunderstand the relationship between Catholics and OTHER kinds of Christians (when they say "Christian" they really mean Protestants). As you point out, the question is a "funny" one, as it is a misleading question (as I feared your video would be, based just on the title alone). I am going to share this one with my students (college level world religions class). thank you for this (and I will watch your other related videos as well to see if I can use them)
Great stuff. Explained it beautifully. Now I understand what a person said to me the other day in relation to being a Christian protestant. We still share the same faith.
dav 324 In summary, Jesus was baptized, transformed the “baptismal” waters, and then gave his famous “born again” discourse. He then baptized before commissioning the apostles to go out and baptize. To deny Jesus was teaching us about baptism in John 3:3-5 is to ignore the clear biblical context.
Yea but that's the religious approach, not the actuadefinition, you won't find that in an actual dictionary or something, and scientifically speaking, so one van be born again. That is only spiritual
David Lee That’s not how atheists look at it like me. That would make atheists who come to heaven Christians if I read this twisted way of speaking right.
1.2 billion catholics in the world. the number might be a couple thousand off, but there are probably more who no longer practice the faith. Lots of catholics in the world. There are definitely by the numbers more than protestants. you have to take in account; many catholics still recognize the orthodox church too.
It is my understanding that Catholics put more faith in Marry and Saints, and they believe "you" work your way into heaven. Christians put all their faith into Jesus. Not all Catholics are Christian.
True Christians continue stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine as did the early(pre institutionalized) church. The true church was born on the day of Pentecost/Shavuot and was fiercely persecuted but kept preaching JESUS as KING of KINGS and LORD of LORDS.
Steadfastly only on The apostles doctrine? You just ignore the old and first testaments? How can you be Christian if you do not read and learn from both??
All scripture is given by inspiration of GOD and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction for instruction in righteousness that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. II Timothy 3:16-17
Nice illustration of the different groups in terms of number of members, but the video does not answer the question. What is the difference between Christians and Catholics.
Catholics have a copy of the COMPLETE bible and the others do NOT!!!!! Having said that all Christians and all religions are worthy in my book And realistically the differences between the catholic and non catholic Christian bibles is very slight
I think the issue among some evangelical Christians is the belief of being born again is necessary to be saved and enter into heaven. The issue of being born again is from Jesus conversation with a Jewish elder, Nicodemus, Who questioned Jesus How must he be saved ? Jesus replied you must be born again, but here is where it has become complicated as some denominations have added to what Jesus replied to Nicodemus that you must accept God gift of salvations in order to be saved, or you must recite "The sinners prayer" and other man-made conditions in order to be saved. But Jesus said you must be born again, a changed person who is remorse for his or her past sinful life and the desire to live in the will of God, Thats all it takes to be saved !
I'm disliking because he never answered the question. All Catholics are Christian but what makes them Catholic? What makes them different from non Catholic Christians that they have to be called by a different name? He even explained orthodox Christians, they're from other regions.
but catholics dont believe in the bible, because they believe that they can pray to Mary to effectuate prayer, they believe they can pray for those who are dead and have an effect on the destiny or outcome of what happens to them. They call their Pastors "Father" when Jesus specifically say not to. They believe that the wine of communion is literally Jesus's blood and not as a symbol, there is so much more
This is confusing belonging to a Religion with being a Christian, it is possible to be a Christian and not belong to any organised religion and belonging to any Christian religion does not automatically make you a Christian. One has to acknowledge that Jesus is the Son of God, he died to atone for our sins and rose from the dead in order to do this and thereby fulfilling the prophecies in the Old Testament. and thus save mankind from the sin of Adam and Eve. This is what he meant when he cried 'It is finished' as he died on the cross. Jesus had done the work God had sent him to do. God and man were able to be truly reconciled if man accepted Jesus and his teaching and lived by this. It is by the Grace of God that we are saved from eternal damnation and that salvation will only be achieved by accepting Jesus into our lives and living accordingly. Keeping rules, either those laid down in the Bible or decreed by Church hierarchy will not make a whit of difference to salvation if you do not accept Jesus into your heart, look at the parable of the rich young man.
He would tell us to read his word, and not to follow cults and religions. This is taught in the New Testament and can be found in the old testament. Jesus says not to follow traditions of men, that they are of demons.
@@vickyesperanza8267 They aren't traditions of men. they are the traditions founded and taught by Jesus Christ which he spread to his disciples and followers. The Protestant churches have decided that they don't like Christ's traditions so have decided to start their own and ignore the original church founded by Jesus Christ. the same church that wrote and compiled the Bible in the first place.
Cathilics are not christian... christians belive the only way to eternal life is through jesus christ alone, catholics belive in works and also pray to mary
Not really. A christian is anyone who is baptized In The Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and believes in Jesus. A catholic is a christian. Truly.
That is a slightly different question you see. Many people think Catholics and Christians are different, when in fact Catholics are Christians. To answer your question, you would have to define what type of other Christians. Orthodox, Pentecostal, Baptist?
Cade they changed the gospel when the joined the Roman state under Theodosius.Then continued to change the teaching.It is ABOUT HOW YOU BECOME a Christian?
Christmas is a celebration of Jesus' brith, so it's celebrated by all Christians (Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox) although the date is different in some traditions (not always Jan 25th). Hope this helps :)
@Richie Rich you dont have to be baptized in order to accept jesus. It is more to show everyone the path you are following so they can help you along the way.
Yes because Jesus is the only way to the father....rest of the religions the father didn't send or establish...father only sent Jesus no one else...today's Judaism is Rabbi followers not old testament followers so today's Judaism also not from God.
“Teacher of religion”. Yep, he’s right about that much. Sadly, the typically low view of Scripture held by many Catholics is reflected in his cavalier, “ ..reckon the Bible is ok.” Very telling..
Can somebody, please, tell me why it is expected of me and other Christians to choose a side between the different churches?? Why can't I just be Christian and choose a form of Christian worship/church which appeals most to me without being criticised about my worship/church of choice. Why is one explanation of the Bible considered right and the other considered wrong? (There are even differences between several translations!!) Why create all this division??
The gospel and it's meaning is only hidden to those who are lost. It is divided so badly because of people trying to twist it's teachings to suit themselves. The bible clearly states this and that it don't allow for anyone's private interpretation. Meaning it means what it says and says what it means.
Our human tastes don't really matter - there is only one God, one truth, one church. For Christianity to be real, we have to believe that God preserved the faith for two thousands of years since He defeated sin on the Cross. I really recommend looking at the history of Christianity and the early Church Fathers to see where all this division came from and which are true doctrines. God bless!
Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Ephesians 2:8-9 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
Where on earth are the Non-denominational Christians? Catholicism actually branched off of that. Being a Christian does not mean having another name in the title. A Christian is a Christian. Not a Catholic Christian, or an Orthodox, or a Protestant. I mean to say that you can be a Christian without being a denomination. (I don't mean to be rude to any of the other religions I mentioned. I'm not trying to offend anybody, I just wanted to point out that there is another form of Christianity that was not mentioned, that is big enough not to fit into the "Other" category :) If you are offended I can delete this comment, sorry)
Thanks brother the real difference is between Unitarian vs Trinitarian. Before council of nicea, the vast majority of Christians were Unitarian believers. That God is one and Jesus his messanger. Arians delivered the difference. Constantin forced God son relationship concept and later councils added holy spirit, further to trinity. God bless you
Constantine didn't force anything at the Council of Naesea (sp?). 320 Bishops attended from all over the Christian World and without any coercion, 318 voted to say that Jesus is and was God. It is not true to make the claim that prior to 325 AD, most Christians were Unitarian.
The important difference is that Catholics look up to Mary as their lord and savior and they believe that Christ was never crucified Christians believe in Jesus as our savior and believe that Christ did get crucified
Jason Vaz I’m sorry now I just figured out about the truth about Catholics and they are no different then Christians you Catholics pleat for the saints not to them and what I said earlier is a lie they believe the same way about god
Bassam That was a very stand-up comment. I applaud you. I see people constantly proven wrong and they brush it off. You owned it and that is remarkable! Maybe there's hope for internet communication!
Catholic and Protestant have many differences But what they do have in common is - They All do not Carry their Cross so They All Live in The (SELF) and the results are They All do not Live in (The Spirit) were The Oneness is at.
I trusted in the Lord of Jesus Christ as my personal savior into my heart through faith alone, and not of works, by accepting his free gift of salvation, by his grace on February 16, 1996, each day, I confess sins for process of sanctification, to receive Jesus Christ as your personal savior, please refer to Matthew 10:28, John 3:16-18:36, 5:24, 6:37:47, 10:27-29, 14:6, Acts 2:38, 16:30-31, Luke 15:10, Roman's 1:16, 3:23, 4:5, 6:23, 10:9-10:13, Ephesians 2:8-10, and Titus 3:5. God bless the world, and thank you for sharing.
Christians of the Catholic tradition acknowledge seven (7) Sacraments as actual encounters with Jesus (the Divine one). All other denominations (with the exception of Baptism) reject the Sacraments.
Sadly, many people in the Catholic Church neglect teaching their kids about it. I'm glad my parents taught me well. If you asked me, I would say i'm a Christian, but a Catholic one, because Catholics are Christians. You don't believe me? A christian is a person who is Baptized in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and believes that Jesus is God. Catholics believe in all these things, and thus they are Christians. I'm sorry to hear about these ignorant Catholics. It's kind of a shame that many protestants think that Catholics are not Christians. Not to blog post, but I've been to this youth group, a Catholic one, and many kids there barely knew anything about their religion. Could you please pray for our Church? Maybe, God willing you will become a Catholic. :)
@@squirrels24seven I of course have nothing against any type of Christians. But there's no way I'm getting any religion. I just find all of them too unbelievable and they break the rules of nature.
Xavier Ohara Not the church or the followers. Just that the bible includes summoning bread, walking on water and resurrection, none of those are possible.
The Catholics are the first and only Christians, the Protestants took the word Christian about 50 years ago from the Catholics but the word Christians were used in the first century because they followed the Apostles and the teachings from Jesus Christ and that is Catholic.
being in germany, being catholic or lutheran can be more concrete in the fact of church taxes and of course, registration. To be a member of these two organizations, there is taxes to be paid and formal registration. The truth of the matter when we point out the problems with catholicism or even with protestantism, we really do not find differences. We find maybe reasons we are not one or the other. For someone who does not want to part of either, can use these points. The burden of being catholic should rest on the catholic and not on the christian. christ did not call us to follow the catholic or the protestants. He called us to follow him. In these various organizations, there are distinctions that may work to help follow him. In certain countries as a missionary, it helps to be under one of these organizations to avoid being point out as being a sect. I think the ball is in the catholics side of the court and it should be there. simple, not all christians are catholic. All catholics "should be" christians. Try talking to some catholics about jesus and see if you get a rise of hatred.
@@yakovmatityahu are you the gate keeper? if so, you should know. do you know me in another time, when I believed or do not believe. I would not want to be persecuted for being a christian or for not being a christian. It is a loaded question to ask if someone at all is a christian because I am not sure if I can answer calvin's five points or stand in luthers understanding of faith or arminian's assumption of freewill or wesley's life of holiness. I am just the sacristan in the wrong place. I am trying to best answer a question within a specific country where taxes and church membership excludes or includes a certain people within an church organization or diocese. The numbers do matter.
Which group of Christians believe that Jesus is the only priest? i'm guessing maybe if they're protestant? Because if they don't agree with having a priest and a pope, they must be protesting the Catholic church is my guess. Please let me know if that is correct.
No need to apologise Matt, some here have said that these are basically different labels,which is a great point. The bible itself says that the word Christian was first used in Antioch (acts 11:26). Antioch was an ancient city of the Roman Empire which is a good 300 miles or so north of the Holy Land,in what is now Turkey. It actually never occurred to me until the other day that the word Christian is not found anywhere else in the Bible apart from twice in Acts and 1 Peter 4:16 Even Paul never went around saying "I'm a Christian! Are you??". He called himself a Follower of the Way according to Acts 24:14. In Paul's letters he will address the people as Believers or Brothers or as simply the Church of God,but he doesn't use the word Christian anywhere! Interesting stuff
This is one of the worst explanations. Catholics are not Christians as Christians are followers of Christ. Catholics follow the Catholic Church which their dogma is different. We have difference bibles. Christians do not pray to Mary or to the saints. We do not pray for the dead as because they are with Christ. We do not have Christ on the cross because he DEFEATED the cross (death). We do not have priests forgive us of our sins because Christ does. Christians are born again and are spirit filled. Catholics are not. They are a religion and Christians have a relationship with Christ. There are HUGE differences between us.
Not to be rude Catholic.. but you guys honour the mom of Jesus and that’s wrong..You will only have ONE god and it’ll be God/Jesus.. Not the mom.. You guys read this story in the Holy Bible: I’ll tell Jesus,it was Maria who said that but no... Protestants: The only Honour Jesus/god and pray with all there joy and help,When I was younger I had cancer and I survived by praying for god and try reading the bible,Yes there is a bit of Protestants but to be honest I kinda go with them no they are correct but actually they are correct. Please say this helped I tried teaching RU-vid..Hate all you want! I don’t care.I say my words you say your words..!
you protestants have ignored the whole bible, you tore out of Catholicism, but you forget Catholicism and Orthodoxy were one and they both honour the Virgin Mary, if you take that out and more of what you take out, your left with just a few things but you ripped out the saints, and many other things that connect to our faith. Of course Jesus is the main center of our faith, but forgetting to venerate The Mother of God and to respect the saints, Protestants your really lost that is why you got ripped up into thousands of denominations yourselves this said within what they call Protestant Well start studying the history guys!!!!. So before pointing your fingers at anyone remember when you hold out your hand to point, right underneath there are 3 fingers pointing back at you!!!!!!!! In Orthodox, everyone outside is a heretic, because they have left the purity of the faith!!!!!!!! Remember the evil powers want to destroy Orthodoxy because we are the core and they know it, if they rip Orthodox, the rest of you are a joke to them, so take that into consideration!!!!!!! wake up before its too late!!!!!!!
Reyvid villegas if you read the Bible like a good heretic you would look at the Greek texts. The original Greek text it calls Mary the mother of God. They call her the “teohokos” which means “god-bearer.” If you say that Mary is not the Mother of God then you are separating Jesus into two different people. A true Christian knows that Jesus is fully man and fully God. You can’t say he was more god than or more man than god. No. He is fully man and fully god ergo Mary is the Mother of God.
Christians believe that Jesus Christ, who is God, died on the cross for our sins (because God loved the world so much) , and He rose from the grave after 3 days. We believe that the bible is the Word of God. We believe that Christ Jesus is the only way to God, our Lord.
@alvaro alas As members of the body of Christ we are mediators within Christ's unique mediation. Read the whole passage in context: 1 Timothy 2:1-5 "I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."
Jesus son of God/son of man/messiah/prophet/lord of Sabbath/forgiver of sins/giver of eternal life/alpha and Omega/first and the last/good shepherd/bread of life/fountain of life/final judge....all these are the roles of Jesus...no single title describes him but all of these describe him.
I have a question. Why do some people refer to Jesus as God. This is in accurate. Catholics and Christians both believe Jesus is the son of God. Jesus never referred to himself as God, nor did his deciples believe he was god. Can anyone enlighten me?
Respectfully I beg to differ from your definition of being a Christian. To be considered a Christian it is not enough to only belief that Jesus Christ is the son of GOD and that the Holy Bible is the word of GOD as per your definition. In addition to that, one MUST belief that Jesus Christ is GOD, that HE died on the Cross and on the 3rd day, HE resurrected physically. One must belief on all of these with no exception, in order to be considered a Christian. Your explanation of Christianity is good. The one I use to explain to some, is this : Imagine Christianity being a Tree with many branches. Well, Catholicism is one branch, protestant another branch, orthodox another branch, baptist another branch, Anglican another branch and so on. All of them belonging to the same tree of Christianity and all of them believing in all of those tenets described above. The early Church was originally Catholic (meaning universal) only, until the reformation by Martin Luther in early 16th century which split the Christian Church into two branches, the original Catholic and the newly formed Protestant. From then on, the Catholic Church remained mainly unchanged to this day, and the Protestant Church has split further and further and further to around 47.000 denominations and counting, according to the "Center for global Christianity at Gordon - Cornwell Theological Seminary" , which is an evangelical Protestant institution.
I can think of a ton of differences between Catholics and Christians... Catholics pray to mary, angles, Jesus, god, and saints. Plus they follow the pope. Also they allow women to be nuns and make vows to never get married and spend their whole life devoted to god and prayer. Catholics also pray with a rosary I don’t combine my hands that often unless its the regular our father. Christians pray only to god. Christians blaim Roman Catholics for killing jesus Roman Catholics blaim the jews for killing jesus. Guess its a big difference when you type it all out.
What exactly is a Catholic and why are Christians not Catholics? Can't be gray area. Explain further please. Pie charts anyone can do with data from the web. This video explain s nothing on the topic of what the difference is
All catholic are believing in holy trinity. But some christians are not. Catholic is always making sign of a cross. The sign of remembering GOD in a simpleist way....And also strong faith in saints.
