Neither we Catholics can say that we are not Christians nor evangelicals, because we'd be lying; nor those who call themselves evangelicals or Christians can walk proclaiming that they are no longer Catholic. There are inconsistencies on both sides and we'll be lying if we continue to express ourselves this way.
'CATHOLICS'
ARE BOTH 'CHRISTIANS'
AND 'EVANGELICALS':
They are 'Evangelicals': They are, from their very cradle of birth. Its origins can be found in Matthew's Gospel 16, 18-19. We owe it to the Catholic Church for writing and establishing the four Gospels, through five councils between the IV, V and XVI centuries, as inspired by God along with the rest of the New Testament and the Old Testament's 46 books. Doesn't this makes it the quintessential Evangelical Church?
Gospel means good news. Isn't the Catholic church the oldest and only church whom received the Good News of the Gospel directly from Jesus Christ Himself?
Isn't it the original Evangelical Church, and shouldn't its members call themselves 'Evangelicals'?
They are 'CHRISTIANS': The Catholic Church is also, by its Identity Card, the 'Christian Church'. In the city of Antioch, Jesus' Christ disciples were first given the title of CHRISTIANS. And a few years later, in the year 107, at the same city of Antioch, their Bishop, named Ignatius, disciple of the Apostle John, gave them the title of CATHOLIC CHURCH.
Why is there so much imprudence generated by many CATHOLICS, whom live thinking and saying that the title 'CHRISTIAN' is only for those who decide to abandon the Catholic Church? Isn't this a scandalous way of speaking falsely and does it not tend to confuse more than to unite?
'EVANGELICALS'
and 'CHRISTIANS'
are still 'CATHOLICS'.
What are the REASONS and PROOFS?:
✔ Do they believe with all their hearts that the books of the Bible, especially the New Testament, are inspired by God? They will most likely say yes! And that right there makes them intensely belong to the only Church which established that these books, and not others, should be accepted by God's people as inspired by God. Using the Bible with such passion is still ingrained deeply in the Catholic Church. Martin Luther himself admitted this when he said:
"We are obliged
of admitting to the
Papists that they
have the Word of
God, that we have
received it from them,
and without them there
would be no
knowledge of it "[1]
They are immensely CATHOLIC by confessing and preaching that in the place of worship where they meet, JESUS CHRIST is present.That is how the early Christian communities from the first century were identified:
"BECAUSE WHEREVER
JESUS CHRIST IS, THE CATHOLIC
CHURCH IS THERE TOO"[2]
And the CHRISTIAN CHURCH could not be called and be different from the identity of its founder. JESUS is UNIVERSAL, WHOLE, which is synonymous or equal to saying 'CATHOLIC'.
How should CHRISTIANS identify or describe their CHURCH, being that it must be a reflection and image of its founder, who is and will be forever “UNIVERSAL = CATHOLIC”?
«« CATHOLIC CHURCH »»
right?
