Re: Different religion Quote: =ThePerson;10396044]I am not sure exactly where to put this, so I put it here. My friend is considering converting to another religion outside of Catholicism, which she has been part of since she was born. I have tried to talk her out of it, but she has made up her mind, and as her friend I have decided to respect her decision. She was baptized as a baby. Is there anything official she has to do to leave the Church? She is going to continue going to a Catholic school since she loves the small classes and teachers. The problem is, we go to mass once a month as a school. What should she do about that. I am asking because she is too afraid to ask for herself. Also, I am curious, if she leaves the church, but comes back, will she have to be baptized again? Any answers would be appreciated, thank you. No; one Baptism is ALL that is permitted and NEEDED for life.     DELUSIOIN historical Consider these FACTS:   DELUSIOIN historical [all provable from the bible itself; space permitting]     Editor note  BECAUSE we know that the JEWISH GOD YAWAH   Because we KNOW their is Only One God: "Perfect and Triune" their logically and factually can    Only be One right set of Faith beliefs. contained in the TORAH     God who IS Perfect simply cannot hold differing; even contradictory views on the identical issues. SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE.the JEWISH GOD YAWAH Christ invented the term "church" to make clear    DELUSIOIN historical He was founding a New and a Necessary way to heaven Pagans had Temples Jews had Synagogues Christ followers WOULD have "church's" Because the Bible was completely authored by the end of the 1st. Century; the Bibles Canon set [the books selected and confirmed as Divinely Inspired] in the early 4th.   until 310ad with constine Constantine Outlaws Sabbath - Forces all to Worship on Sun god Day - Lawless ApostasyRestoration·83 videos 311 6,062 45     4 Uploaded on Aug 13, 2011 The fifth point of the true Assemblies of the True God is that they follow the true and original Sabbath of the True God on the seventh day of the week and not the first or the sun god day of Lucifer. Did the original Christians worship on the sun god day? No, So why do so many so called Christians worship on the sun god day? The answer again is the antichrist Emperor Constantine, the sun god worshiper. On March 7th, AD 321 he decried: From: Codex Justinianus, lib. 3, tit. 12, 3; trans. in Philip Schaff, History of the Christian Church, Vol.3 (5th ed.; New York: Scribner, 1902), p.380 "On the venerable Day of the Sun let the magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed. In the country, however, persons engaged in agriculture may freely and lawfully continue their pursuits; because it often happens that another day is not so suitable for grain-sowing or for vine-planting; lest by neglecting the proper moment for such operations the bounty of heaven should be lost. (Given the 7th day of March, Crispus and Constantine being consuls each of them for the second time [A.D. 321].)" From: Stanley's History of the Eastern Church, p. 184. "The retention of the old pagan name of dies Solis, or 'Sunday,' for the weekly Christian festival, is in great measure owing to the union of pagan and Christian sentiment with which the first day of the week was recommended by Constantine to his subjects, pagan and Christian alike, as the 'venerable day of the Sun.'" -- From: Socrates Scholasticus, Ecclesiastical History, Book 5, ch. 22. Church historian Socrates Scholasticus (5th century) wrote: "For although almost all churches throughout the world celebrate the sacred mysteries [of the Lord's Supper] on the Sabbath of every week, yet the Christians of Alexandria and at Rome, on account of some ancient tradition, have ceased to do this." From: Williston Walker, A History of the Christian Church, page 105. "Great as were the favors which Constantine showed to the church, they were only for that strong, close-knit, hierarchically organized portion that called itself Catholic. The various [so-called] heretical sects could look for no bounty from his hands." Emperor Constantine forced many in his empire to apostatize from the true Christian church and follow the sun god Sabbath, by taking their lands, possessions, lives and imprisoning and torturing them if they did not comply. He also created within the sun god church of the empire or the catholic church, a college for the those apostates willing to take the mark of the beast, follow the false Sabbath, follow the false practices and teachings of the sun god so they can keep their lands, homes businesses, family members and lives. Thus we the church of the world has the sun god holidays, Sabbath, celibate priesthoods, sun god mass, sun god mark instead of baptism by immersion in the name of Yeshua, many also war with their neighbors, pay interest on loans, have popes, crusades, inquisitions -- and all of these sun god cults have lost of the Holy Spirit of God, his power, authority and gifts having diluted their teachings and practices with many of the antichrist's teachings and practices which are now accepted by many of the world as christianity. The original Christians pre-Constantine and true Christians today keep the Sabbath of the Lord on the seventh day of the week, since they don't follow the Sun god or the antichrist Constantine and his followers that enforce the lies of the great delusion. Yes if you're interested in finding the true assemblies of God, this simple truth will help you cull out thousands of the false churches. There is no evidence where the Sabbath day was changed in the Bible, or that the apostles and members of Christ kept the sun god day prior to Emperors Constantine's decree. In fact it does point out that the true Christians or Messianic Jews kept the holidays and Sabbaths commanded by God, even after the resurrection of our Lord Yeshua. Let's look at how they acted, and taught concerning the 7th day Sabbath of our Lord. Matthew 24:20 Pray that your flight will not be in the winter, nor on a Sabbath, Mark 1:21 They went into Kafar-Nachum, and immediately on the day of Sabbath he entered Sabbath day sunset Friday Saturday sun down seventh last of week God Lord Yeshua Jesus gospel teaching doctrine points true church assemblies Messiah antichrist Christ false first Constantine Emperor Catholic inquisition crusade lies delusion worship veneration persecution leaders followers theology members pagan Pentecost supporters holy keep original Christian instructions command commands commandments Passover Yom Kippur sukkot shofar Rashhashanna Messianic War 2012 End Last WoldYes the apostles meet on other holidays such as Passover, Pentecost and Yom Kippur beliefs Christian lawless Pope, Francis, Jesuit, Oath, Black, Tribulation, War Category People & Blogs      Century AND NO OTHER "CHURCH" would even exist for about 700 years; DELUSIOIN historical     each and every reference to "church" in the bible refers ONLY to today's CC.

The great delusion, apostasy and falling away has been happening for thousands of years and is the largest organization on the planet with many factions. These little videos point out the pieces and parts in you life that are part of the sun god delusion and those that are part of the true God. The True God has asked you to prove all things and to keep what is good and true. He has also asked us to have nothing to do with the ways of Babylon and to come out of her.

St Paul warns of DIRE consequences for those who deny and abandon Christ only founded Church and set of Faith beliefs: Heb. 6: 4-8 "For it is impossible for those who were once illuminated, have tasted also the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, Have moreover tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, And are fallen away: to be renewed again to penance, crucifying again to themselves the Son of God, and making him a mockery. For the earth that drinketh in the rain which cometh often upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is tilled, receiveth blessing from God. But that which bringeth forth thorns and briers, is reprobate, and very near unto a curse, whose end is to be burnt. IT IS FAR MORE PRUDENT TO ACTUALLY MAKE THE EFFORT TO LEARN WHAT AND WHY WE BELIEVE AS WE DO BECAUSE IT IS; because IT IS; THE SINGULAR TRUTH! It is the singular and normal path to conditional salvation. Amen. Heaven and Hell are REAL. Pray about it.

It might be useful for you to learn more about what she is looking into and why...Obviously she is looking for something that "fits her' and may not realize that it could very well exist within the Church. Being young her view of the Church is probably very legalistic. The Church has rules, and "bosses" etc. She likely sees the church as rather judgmental, and perhaps not very inclusive (gender issues?). She may see the Church as not being very tied to things natural or have a deeply spiritual aspect of the type that she might see in other belief systems. In most all of these cases she would be wrong. Yes the Church does have leaders and has many rules...but that is barely the surface and that surface only exists as evidence of much deeper and more profound spiritual aspects. If you can find out what is that draws her to some other faith or belief system, I'll wager that the same sort of spirituality can be found in Catholicism. You might ask her what her "ideal" spirituality would be (what "fits" her) and if you posted it here - or in a new thread - I'm sure that the good people here could point you and her to great spiritual reading and spiritual paths that would give her a great deal to think about and consider....(Catholics believe that???)(Catholic saints did that???) Try it. Be interested in her studies. Draw her out on what she is looking for. The Catholic Church headed by God's only Son, most likely has it in some form.

We were ALL young once [me a LONG time ago] But youth alone is not a sufficient excuse for what your friend contemplates. God gives each of us only One life and one is prudent to Recognize this fact. One has no Guarantee of old or even "older age." Heaven AND hell are real and Eternity IS forever.
