How does this make you feel?

[JohnK123]

I’ve seen a lot of Instagram posts about straight white Christian men and how they “run the world” and put other people down

Well I might be white straight and a boy, but I’m catholic not Christian so I don’t fit the stereotype lmaooooo

[GurlMaster40]

Lol. I don’t know how this makes me feel entirely. I don’t think or believe that Christians put people down, especially men. But, we want to try to build people up. Not put the down. I don’t know who sees men appearing to be putting people down but whomever these people are thinking of, are not Christians. And if they are they are not showing that they are Christians because the lord calls us Christians to love one another so that the world will know we are Christians.

[JohnK123]

EXACTLY
I don't know why they chose Christians to blame 🤷‍♂️ and yeah God calls us to love all

[jengeorge26]

Yes, keep the faith!

[madisondlatham]

Exactly

[jengeorge26]

Catholic and Christians both believe in Jesus.

[JohnK123]

But aren’t the same… the Jews believe in him too but Judaism and Catholicism aren’t the same

[jengeorge26]

Everyone has a different way of believing. Most everyone is brainwashed to believe what there parents taught them.

[madisondlatham]

Lol. I don't know if I've ever seen that. I'm Christian but my best friend is catholic. I love her (as a sitster bc apparently if u don't specify if sounds guy which makes sense but is bad and sad) and were different in every way u could've imagined. She blonde, I'm brunette. She's short I'm tall. She's organized and I'm messy lol. But we're amazing friends. I'm the therapist and she distracts me. But the thing that makes it hard is that as u know Protestant and Catholic are very different. But I've only ever known one calthic and its her. Its a very educated religion which is great

[JohnK123]

Yeah haha cool! Your friend is lucky to have u u seem nice haha

[madisondlatham]

Lol yeah. Thanks ☺ She is amazing

[madisondlatham]

I'm lucky to have her

[JohnK123]

Haha yeah

[WhitneySnow]

Catholics are a kind of Christian. Least that’s what my priest told me.

[JohnK123]

Yes but not the same… just like Jews are kinda Christian but aren't

[WhitneySnow]

I guess. But when people say Christian the way you’re using it what they really mean is Protestant.

[JohnK123]

🤷‍♂️ well then the awaken should change their terms

[WhitneySnow]

Good point lol

[jengeorge26]

No, you need to believe in Jesus no matter what faith you choose.

[WhitneySnow]

@jengeorge26 right! As long as you believe in Jesus you’re a Christian regardless of whether you’re Catholic or Protestant.

[JohnK123]

Ya right but not exactly what I meant lmao but ya u two r correct

[Anonymous]

Catholics are Christians or in other words Catholicism is a 'form' of Christianity. Same with Protestants, Baptist, Angelican, and many more. They all stem from Christianity in which they don't only just believe in Jesus, they also believe that he is the son of God and the Messiah who will save man from their sins. However, the way in which Christianity is practiced and the way they worship is different to each 'form'. Yes Jews and Muslims believe in Jesus but they don't believe he's the son of God and don't look to him to save them from their sins.

[JohnK123]

Yes and if u look at another opinion I say that the “awaken” should change it to Protestant not Christian. Because by saying that you are technically saying Judaism and Catholicism are the same. When they aren’t.

[Opinion Owner]

Protestants are Christians too. It's just another form. Judaism is the belief Jews follow, not Christians.

[JohnK123]

Yes but Judaism is like Christianity… like u said Catholicism is like Christianity
Sure they all believe in Christ but that’s the only similarity…

[CrazyGirl2]

Wait? You’re a Catholic, and you don’t realize that makes you a Christian? So who is the guy on YOUR crucifix, if not Christ? What you mean is your not Protestant, but you are most assuredly Christian!

[JohnK123]

Yes and if u look at another opinion I say that the “awaken” should change it to Protestant not Christian. Because by saying that you are technically saying Judaism and Catholicism are the same. When they aren’t.

[CrazyGirl2]

What on earth do you mean “ by saying that YOU are technically saying” [emphasis added]. I’m Jewish, so I doubt very much I would say THAT!

[JohnK123]

Well if ur Jewish then u should know that u don’t believe in all aspects of the catholic faith… even tho we are both “Christians”

[CrazyGirl2]

Your argument is fallacious and disingenuous at best! Belief in The OLD testament does NOT make someone a Christian! While a tiny minority of Jews are Christian (Jews for Jesus), The Jewish people are not Christians, in the same way that Christian’s belief in the Old Testament, does NOT mean that gentiles are Jewish! Clearly you are either trolling, or your beliefs are so far from the accepted mainstream, that there is no point in discussing this any further. Either way, my participation in this discussion has come to an end. I wish you the best, and God Bless you.

[JohnK123]

Ya idek why ur so against an OPINION

[jshm2]

In other words. You're the "I'm not like other girls" meme. But a boy instead

[JohnK123]

I don't know that meme

[joeldalton]

They’re just upset at their own failures and want to blame someone.

[Dontaaaa]

Indifferent.
