Re: Great love for jesus led me to Islam
The few points I mentioned in my first post ought to be enough, especially the one's about witchdoctors and specialized center of parapsychology. It borders on fantasy or what someone thinks is Catholicism.
As far as different cultures? Sure, Italians parade a naked Jesus covered in blood (catsup) and money down the street on Easter followed by a rosary with each bead the size of a small kid. A cultural ritual based on traditional Catholic belief. It is understandable. The church tolerates cultural things like that because it doesn't change the message.
Teaching children Jesus bring's presents - no way. Learning from a witch, absolutely no way. Learning at a center for parapsychology - give me a break. Not one time did he say church, the source of learning, not one time did he mention communion, confession, prayer, nothing. He was something, but it wasn't a Catholic.
Unlike Islam, the Catholic religion is a standardized religion, it has a centralized leader (Pope) making decisions about ritual and what each branch teaches that the churches worldwide follow. Followers do NOT follow witchcraft, it is a sin, clearly taught. Followers know exactly why Jesus died. You do not recieve communion until you understand and accept that.
