On adding to the faith

It seems to me that the reason why so many people have trouble accepting that Roman Catholicism is not a true Christian denomination is because Catholicism does not deny the fundamentals of the Christian faith so much as add to them. An example of this is the Alpha Course. Roman Catholics have their own version of this which is the same as the Protestant version but with the addition of two extra chapters dealing with Roman Catholic sacraments and other practices of the Roman church.

Why is adding to the Christian faith a problem? Surely as long as we all agree on the fundamentals that is enough? For an answer to this, first read the book of Galatians. Then listen to the video on this link here.

Make your views known on assisted suicide

There is an important consultation going on in the Scottish Parliament right now which you should prayerfully consider responding to. It is a consultation on Margo Macdonald's second attempt to bring forward a bill to legalise assisted suicide. The details can be found by clicking here. CARE for Scotland recommend that you only answer Question 1 if you do not agree with legalising assisted suicide and you can do that by emailing Margo at the address towards the end of the consultation document. It only takes a few minutes to make your views known on this important matter.
