@Caino is one of many here on TOL who "do not profess the Catholic faith in its entirety" (838), but who nonetheless professes to believe in Christ, and in His Resurrection.

Nobody can formally convert to the Catholic faith without confessing our entire Creed, but anybody can come to Mass.

No Catholic is authorized to disbelieve any of what the magisterium teaches us as Apostolic. And as for who among the Noncatholics, are authentic Christians and who are not, there's an enormous spectrum of variations in particular beliefs, but all authentic Christians believe in the Lord Jesus.
He who is not against us is with us.

By the time of the arrival of the Son on earth the religion of Judaism had become a unnessasarity overcomplicated yoke for the common Israelite.

Jesus presented a simple to understand Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven.

After Jesus left men complicated religion again. They fight endlessly on these forums.

On what were its foundations set,

or who laid its cornerstone,

7while the morning stars sang together

and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Referring to angels, of course, which were likely created on day one. You might want to read more though:

“Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding.Who determined its measurements? Surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it?To what were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone,When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy?“Or who shut in the sea with doors, When it burst forth and issued from the womb;When I made the clouds its garment, And thick darkness its swaddling band;When I fixed My limit for it, And set bars and doors;When I said, ‘This far you may come, but no farther, And here your proud waves must stop!’ - Job 38:4-11 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Job38:4-11&version=NKJV

Two words: hydroplate theory.

No actually sons of God means sons of God. Funny that, you guys can be so anal retentive when it comes to specific words when it suits your argument but when it doesn't you just convert sons to angels.

God obviously has more that one son considering that the scripture books talks about other sons. Adam was himself a son of God.

The meaning of "sons of God" is determined by the context. In the context of Job 38:4-11, God is asking Job about the creation story which is recorded in Genesis 1. The creation story in Genesis 1 has man being created on day 6, not day one, so that excludes man from being the "sons of God" in that passage, and the only other beings this could refer to as being "sons of God" in this context are angels.

You have to add to scripture, or read it with your a priori belief's glasses on to assert that "sons of God" in this passage are something other than angels.

1257 ...Baptism is necessary for salvation for those to whom the Gospel has been proclaimed and who have had the possibility of asking for this sacrament.... God has bound salvation to the sacrament of Baptism, but he himself is not bound by his sacraments.

1260 Every man who is ignorant of the Gospel of Christ and of his Church, but seeks the truth and does the will of God in accordance with his understanding of it, can be saved. It may be supposed that such persons would have desired Baptism explicitly if they had known its necessity.

836 All men are called to this catholic unity of the People of God and to it, in different ways, belong or are ordered: the Catholic faithful, others who believe in Christ, and finally all mankind....

838 The Church knows that she is joined in many ways to the baptized who are honored by the name of Christian, but do not profess the Catholic faith in its entirety or have not preserved unity or communion under the successor of Peter. Those who believe in Christ and have been properly baptized are put in a certain, although imperfect, communion with the Catholic Church.
:think:
James 2:19, ESV: "You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder!"

You'd even welcome demons? They 'know' Jesus is God and is risen thus pass your very open litmus test. O.O

Catholicism believes that all who believe in Christ, that He is risen from the dead and the Son of God, are Christians. You're not Catholic, so you would not have any reason to know this.

Scripture says not to be quick in joining evil. Have you READ the Urantia Book thread??? Your hasty judgement and shallow pool of assessment has incredibly stark problematics.

Of course they do but so do demons. Your 'universalism' is showing where there is need for careful parsing. Urantians deny the atonement, deny the need for salvation and lie after lie, including blasphemy against the nature of Christ are exploited and expanded within the confines of those papers. Search "Lon" in the Urantia thread. I point out many of them in clarity. Urantia is an attack upon Christ and Christianity. Fact.

That just sounds like yet another Noncatholic Christian tradition to me. You all are "an attack upon" the Church. There's the actual Christian faith, the one taught by Christ and His Apostles, the one passed down through the ages by the men holding the office specifically instituted to preserve this faith, and there's literally everything else. Among the 'everything else' is gnosticism, Urantia, Calvin, Luther, JW, Mormons, etc.

Except gnostics like Muslims deny Christ's Resurrection. @Caino believes in the Resurrection. And at the risk of repeating myself, all I really did here was invite Caino to Mass. If Caino wants to convert, then Caino's going to have to confess our Creed. If what you're saying is true about Urantia, then Caino's going to have a difficult choice to make. I for one hope that Caino chooses our faith, but then, I hope the same thing for you.

Incorrect. You called him a Christian. He is not. Read and be informed instead of this poor excusing behavior.

This isn’t a thread about the UB but Lon largely misrepresents the book, he has been nasty towards me from the beginning on this forum.

@Caino is an authentic Christian if Caino believes in Christ and in His Resurrection. Caino has already agreed that the Resurrection really happened. By hook or by crook if Caino believes in Christ, then Caino is an authentic Christian, just as I believe that you are, and that I am.

There is a wide spectrum of variant beliefs held by authentic Christians, and all who deny any part of Apostolicity fall along that spectrum somewhere, you, Caino, NWL, RD, etc. There is one faith. And every detail of that faith is Apostolic in origin, because it was to the Apostles that the Holy Spirit of Truth came, and the Apostles instituted the office of a bishop, and appointed the first generation of bishops, and taught them the purpose of the office, was the preserve what the Apostles uniformly taught, which are Christ's own teachings.

That office has never ceased to exist or to function, not even remotely, throughout all these intervening centuries. And throughout all the scandals and schisms still the office persists, in fact none of the historical "headline stories" of the Church has even approached the cessation of the bishops' pastorate, let alone ushered it in.

The age of the bishops began during the Apostolic era, and it remains with us today, and there's no sign of it slowing down either.

The bishops teach now and have always taught unequivocally and unambiguously that Jesus is God.

God the spirit has divine sons. They are different beings but united in spirit. Was with God (2 beings) and was God (united in spirit).
It is rationalizing/logicking your way through your faith. Nowhere, where I want to be Caino. If it isn't from Him, I want no part in rationalizations.

Acts 19:13 Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed. They would say, “In the name of the Jesus whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out.” 14 Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this. 15 One day the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know about, but who are you?” 16 Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding.

The problem, Caino, is you reject all that makes Christians Christ-like in the first place. ONLY Christ, can make any of us like Him and the gospels are accurate. Paul's letters are spot-on.

No, and you are remiss for stating it. I gave you the thread and the many many problems and outright attacks on Christ (My Savior, at least if not yours that you care to defend). CLEARLY you are mal-informed regarding Urantia claims to EVER consider one a Christian. No, not at all, Idol-ater (should I have known with "Idol" in your name?). The Urantia book flat out, rejects and denies worship of the Son. IF you had bothered to read the link, you'd have seen these "Christians" (in your warped mind) blasphemying Spirit and Son. YOU'D HAVE SEEN IT, Idol-ater! Nope, you want to extend that friendly (Idolatrous?) hand. : Plain:

I don't really care to banter over it with you. It isn't this thread.

Your belief on this isn't germane to this thread.
@Caino is one of many here on TOL who "do not profess the Catholic faith in its entirety" (838), but who nonetheless professes to believe in Christ, and in His Resurrection.
AND none of His saving work! He flat out denies a 'need' for a Savior. This just shows your complete ignorance of Urantia doctrine. You'd be WISE to close your mouth and come back here AFTER you've read a bit of it. They DO attack Christ, Christians, and His salvation unabashedly. It is new Age "We don't need a Savior" we are gods already, doctrine. GO READ it! You are looking blind, ignorant, and foolish for knowing absolutely nothing about their denials and blasphemies, yet calling them 'Christian.'

Yet YOU seem to disregard them when calling men Christians, who, CLEARLY by Catholic parameters (and Reformed/Evangelical), are not.
Sorry, fact and I'm POSITIVE you are talking out of ignorance else you'd know what they believe and how they malign Christ. DEMONS believe Jesus is risen, Idolater. I agree with TG:
Road apples. Stop making us look bad.

Your weak litmus 1) is NOT Catholic and 2) NOT Christian (perhaps you fail to be one on that point, you've sadly got me wondering).

It isn't to 'suit' an argument. There are words translated "sons" (uios-Greek ben-Hebrew) and angels (aggelos-Greek malak-Hebrew).
Job 38 is translated for meaning of context where likely there was no man (earth seemed to be being formed during God's narrative).
God obviously has more that one son considering that the scripture books talks about other sons. Adam was himself a son of God.
The argument was over "Only Begotten." Were you begotten? Of course you were. SOoooo Either it was a lie in scripture OR "ONLY BEGOTTEN" means something important (and it does). Urantia diminishes and obliterates clear scripture teaching 'in favor' of preferred ideas that are carnal/of the flesh. BECAUSE of a preference of fleshly ideals, the Urantia eliminates the uniqueness and deity of Christ in favor of you, in flesh and sin, not needing or wanting a Savior. You've diminished the cross to barbarism and Christianity to brutish backwoods neanderthal as if you are the 'enlightened' one. You literally toss out scripture portions and 'let' some doctor with 'sensibilities' akin to your own carnality, rewrite God-very-God, in favor of YOUR (fleshly) enlightenment. You have a thread that is supposed to contain all this Urantia humanistic philosophy from spilling out into other threads (perhaps why you were banned again).
