It is commonly assumed that the Protestants are a breakaway group by Catholics, and the reverse is assumed by Protestants. I as a Protestant believe the Catholics broke away from the original church, and did not descend from Apostle Peter, but were rather created by Constantine in the 4th Century.

A more relevant question would be, What does the Catholic Church teach? Are these really “Christian” doctrines? A really good article to explore this is Keith Green’s Catholic Chronicles here http://tr.im/hMM2

And if not Christian doctrines, has Vatican II changed all that? http://alumbrados.net/2009/03/25/what-did-vatican-ii-really-change-introduction/

“The Roman Catholic Church teaches Purgatory, which is a temporary place of suffering. Still, it is NOT FOREVER”

The RC Church teaches Purgatory as a place of purification before Heaven. They also teach that those not ending up in Heaven , end up in Hell, forever.

Not quite what you were implying. Catholics, BTW, are Christian, not a separate faith. Protestant Christians are a ‘break away’ group, that have subsequently ‘broken up’ into thousands of groups. Not all of these groups still believe in hell, or even the true Divinity of Christ.

They may teach it in theory, but in practice they have very loose notions of the place.

I really liked your article, but do disagree that Christianity is the only religion with a concept of eternal hell. `As noted Islam has a concept of eternal hell and O believe Judaism does too. And in my study of Christian cults, I find they either remove hell or use it as a tool of coursing and control.

I have a related article here.

[...] You can follow any other God, EXCEPT Jesus, because look at what Jesus says about hell! [...]

Thank you for your entry.

What you say confirms the similarity between Islam and Roman Catholicism. According to your post, both have a “Purgatory”.

The next question is, where do you draw the line? There still is uncertainty.

A vast number of muslims think they are not so bad. 99% of muslims, believe they will not suffer forever, and neither do their friends.

The Qur’an asserts that Hell is a place of everlasting of torture just as Heaven is asserted as a place of everlasting enjoyment: while some Muslims are said to be tortured finitely for their unforgiven sins, there are verses in the Qur’an explicitly mentioning an everlasting and infinite torture in Hell.[13]

Augustine said: “There is no greater or worse death than when death never dies.” Jesus used the same adjective to describe the duration of both heaven and hell (Matt.25:46). Indeed, the worst feature of hell is its duration. In the light of eternity, heaven only gets better while hell only gets worse.
