Looking back at my upbringing in the church I can also see that their was never a focus on studying the bible, but more or less focused on the church's interpreatation, which I find very odd, and is part of the reason I had never actually read the bible until I was out on my own.

Ironically, those are the same reasons I left the Catholic church. I, too, was born and raised in the Catholic church, and my husband just converted over this past Easter, and is trying real hard to get me to go back and I won't do it. Unfortunatly, I do go to church with, because I do not have any way of going anywhere else ( we only have 1 car)!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05456238241747350224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-67129865915389846012009-10-25T18:59:17.043-05:002009-10-25T18:59:17.043-05:00I had never heard of a "reformation celebrati...I had never heard of a "reformation celebration" before this year, and you are the first to explain it to me, so thank you!

Thank you for comment. I understand...Dear Thunder,<br /><br />Thank you for comment. I understand that I have many Catholic readers and I want to share with you a bit of history about me, I was born into and raised in a Catholic Church where I continued to stay until my conversion when I was about 22.<br /><br />So I have personally looked deep into and studied the religious roots and teaching of the Catholic religion and can unapologetically say that there is much to be questioned. I encourage all others to do the same, to do an indepth study of Catholicism and compare it to the truth of the Scriptures.<br /><br />'The Catholic Church is the only major Christian religion that denounces contraception, abortion, and fornication. I have never met a Protestant whose Church spoke out against these evils. Certainly, individuals like yourself do speak out, but not entire churches, and not the major influential ones. The Church does so, with authority, and without apology.'<br /><br />I have to disagree with this statement. There are MANY churches defending life and the sanctity of marriage and to say the Catholic church is the only church defending it is completely false. I know of many churches defending life and yes, even the influential ones with over 10,000 members do as well. They have done much for this cause and also proclaim the truth at the same time.<br /><br />'When humans get to make their own rules (I don't like the church founded by Christ, so I'll go start a new one over here that suits me better), it doesn't take long for those rules to mimic the will of man and not God.'<br /><br />Your statement actually reminds me of the Catholic church, it's teaching and history. Please do an indepth study of the Scriptures and consider a few things: Where are the sacraments and the worship of Mary and saints to be found? There is much more to consider. There were things I had to look at and consider as a former Catholic. Where these true doctrines? Is the pope infallible? Are our sins forgiven by man or by God? Who is the true mediator between God and man? Scriptures declare it is Christ alone.<br /><br />I have done a google search on Scott Hahn and suggest you do the same. There is much literature out there refuting his position and conversion from a Biblical point of view.<br /><br />I must again state that I went through a time of agonizing (not wanting to depart with my Catholic faith or roots) to studying the Bible for myself and realizing so much of what I believe in the Catholic church was absent and actually taught against in the Bible. How could this be? How was I following after men's traditions after all these years and not knowing the truth for myself?<br /><br />There are many other issues I could raise here but to keep this short I will end here. Again, prayerfully study and take a good look at Christian churches around you before you make any judgment.<br /><br />Many blessings...June Fuentes @ A Wise Woman Builds Her Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01821276536385551195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-88430934942312712082009-10-21T15:50:59.591-05:002009-10-21T15:50:59.591-05:00Hi June,
First time commentor, long time reader.
...Hi June,<br /><br />First time commentor, long time reader.<br /><br />I really enjoy how courageously you live your life, and what a beautiful model of femininity you are.<br /><br />Until reading this post, I had never considered not celebrating Halloween, but I am going to look into. Our son is only one, but it won't be long before we need to sort this out.<br /><br />On another note, as a Catholic who reads your site, this particular post was a bit of a turn-off. As something of a historian, I am aware that Luther did shake things up, and he did push the Catholic Church to make much needed reforms. But ultimately, the schism lead to today's situation where there are over 20,000 different Protestant sects (and still only one Catholic Church). <br /><br />The Catholic Church is the only major Christian religion that denounces contraception, abortion, and fornication. I have never met a Protestant whose Church spoke out against these evils. Certainly, individuals like yourself do speak out, but not entire churches, and not the major influential ones. The Church does so, with authority, and without apology.<br /><br />When humans get to make their own rules (I don't like the church founded by Christ, so I'll go start a new one over here that suits me better), it doesn't take long for those rules to mimic the will of man and not God. Is it even possible that God approves of a single abortion? Didn't he create that young life in the first place? And if this is the case, how can one belong to a religion that claims to be Christian but does not object to the horrendous slaughtering of God's children?<br /><br />If you haven't read any of Scott Hahn's work, you might consider it. He is the leading Biblical scholar in the world, a former Presbyterian minister with a doctorate in divinity, and a convert to the Catholic Church. The harder he studied the Bible and history, the more he (reluctantly) realized that Luther had it wrong.<br /><br />Nevertheless, I appreciate your point of view, and what a light in the darkness you are.

I have studied about the Reformation in the past...it was an unbelievable time in history, one that opened the floodgates for our religious freedom, praise God. I did not know about a Reformation Celebration...I am going to mention it to our pastor. I haven't heard of any churches around here doing it...they will have "harvest" parties for the children, but nothing really representative of our Christian heritage. Thanks, too, for the video clip. I'm not waiting til the 31st to see it...on my way this evening to get it. There were a couple of lines in that also rang true of our political system today. I want to go back and read your links.
