I am new here and wonder if people have suggestions for my profile or what they think. I guess I'm looking for some feedback. Is there something else I should include? Too much of something?

I just can't do it.......

Seems like you have the whole package.
Welcome to the boards and good luck.

HUH???? But Mormon, or Lutheran, or Methodist, or Baptist aren't mentioned?

This isn't Belfast, we can get along here in the states.

To some believers their faith is something they need as much cohesiveness with..just like some others with their "sexual compatibility". Active Christians often do their work in husband/wife pairs within the church and need to be following the same doctrine in doing so.

The reason Lutheran, Methodist and Baptist aren't mentioned is that these all fall under the same umbrella of doctrine as most mainstream protestant beliefs. *see Mormon below

Tho I've seen many Catholics who could agree with my church's doctrine in practice, the Catholic church as a whole still has four books in its Bible that aren't congruent with the rest of the New Testament. And they often put Mary as high up as Jesus, an area in which protestants differ. And these four books claim that Jesus sinned.

Mormons, in the eyes of traditional protestant religion, are very, very different. There is no book that we, in the protestant faith group, need to supplement the Bible. In fact there's a verse in the Bible about adding or taking away from the Scripture.

BUT..! I'm just answering your questions. Please don't come behind me if you belong to another faith group and think I've been negative, that was not my intent..only stating differences.

What is a real Christian ?

Skad kind of summed up why I would say that about getting involved with someone of another "faith". While I respect someone's right to believe as they choose - I may not agree with them. Why get into a relationship with someone that you will not agree with on a fundamental part of your life? I guess I should say I also don't want to be around someone who smokes. If that is narrow-minded too, then I guess I am. But I think smoking is a gross habit that stinks - tastes bad (I've kissed a smoker) - and will probably kill you in the end (my Dad died from cancer because of smoking).

Would you criticize me if I said no smokers? I am curious.

Also - a few beers is okay - but someone that drinks often or a lot... no. Again - am I being too judgemental? Oh, maybe it helps to know my step-father was a mean alcoholic.

I guess I would say my choices are not made lightly even if they may seem narrow minded to some. Is it any different than a guy that only wants to date skinny blondes? I dunno.

I have been married to both a southern Baptist, and to a Lutheran, and have dated women of many other religions. Never, not once, have I ever had a problem relating to religion with any of those ladies.

I have gone to church with many of them. I look at it as a sort of "Catholic lite". I'm not making a joke, I'm just stating that other Christian religions(to me) seem alot more friendly, and laid back compared to my own.

If you want to know the doctrinal beliefs of protestants, I can give you that. This is not a universal..just beliefs of basic Methodist, Baptist, Church of Christ, Lutheran, Bible Church, Presb., and these are just the doctrinal similarities that promote our ability to work together as the Christian body--the Church.

1. We believe in the Scriptures and the Old and New Testaments as inspired of God, and inerrant in the original writings, and that they are of supreme and final authority in faith and life.

2. We believe in one God existing in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, co-equal and eternal.

3. We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned, and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also that spiritual death which is separation from God; and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature, and in the case of those who reach moral responsibility, become sinners in thought, word, and deed.

4. We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, and is true God and true Man.

5. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that all that believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood.

6. We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension in the heavens and in His present life there for us as High Priest and Advocate.

7. We believe in that blessed hope, the personal and visual return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

8. We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit, and thereby become children of God.

9. We believe in the eternal security and everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the eternal conscious punishment of the lost.

10. We believe that Christ instituted the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord's Supper, to be observed until He comes.

But, when you're finished..can we get back to the subject of this nice lady's profile? maybe move this to the right threads?.. especially if you want to argue about belief systems.. I was just answering a specific question about one of her statements.

Well said. I'm sure we all have our preferences, and you are entitled to them))

I have no problem with your personal choices, it's just I see your profile as referring to the Catholic religion as a false religion, due to this statement: "WARNING: Only interested in a real Christian". In my profile, I have written that I will not consider dating an athiest. My oldest sister married a Lutheran, and she converted. My other sister married a Protestant, and they raise their kids as Catholics.

Your personal choices are what make you you. I'm just saying.. If I were Muslim, and my faith was strong, of course I would look for another Muslim. The same for Hindu, or any other non-Christian religion.

Welcome and good luck.....you seem like a beautiful woman

Don't think the term false religion was used.. Just different on some of the beliefs.. There are people whose faith isn't as important when it comes to relationships and there are those to whom it is. I've dated a Catholic. And even Catholics don't refer to themselves as Christians, they use the word Catholic in most cases. Sorry if you were offended. But at least for me (Bible Church), I love Catholics too) and I think we'll see each other on the other side..

Amen.

but, still.. that was good constructive critism.. I'm sure that's the kind she's looking for.. and now I'm going to stop talking for other people, lol.. bad habit of mine. :D

LOL - Actually I think Skad is on the same page I am. You've said pretty much the same things I would. It is not that I think someone of the Catholic faith is not a "real believer" - but that I don't believe the same things they do. I have looked into what the Catholic church teaches and I disagree with some of the teachings. That does not mean I agree with my OWN church 100% all the time. But it is a church where I enjoy the teaching, fellowship and worship. Those things are important to me and I don't think it is wrong to say so. But I want to be with someone that wants to share that time with me. Not someone that goes to a different church on Sunday than I do. I experienced that as part of my life when I was married and I have missed that all these years (widow 14+ years now).

Other than that I don't think I'm very picky. Height, weight, hair (or lack thereof) and nationality are all pretty open. I did think of something to add. A guy should have "guy friends" - and hang out with them at least once a month. I think that is important? Comments?

I read it as Protestant seeking Protestant with extreme religious convictions. If that was your intent than you did fine.
