請問天主教同基督教既分別??

君士坦丁大帝（Constantine the Great, 274-337 A.D.）原為太陽神紇留斯（Helios）的信徒，其母海倫（Helena）為一虔誠基督徒。戴克理先皇帝退休後，羅馬陷入了混亂的內戰之中。根據優西比烏教會史的記載，君士坦丁在與馬克森狄大戰前的中午（312 A.D.），看見了一個燃燒的十字架，上面寫著：「在這記號裏得勝」。第二天，君士坦丁以十字架作為軍隊的標幟(即十字軍)，在穆勒威橋（mulvian）大敗馬克森狄，成為羅馬帝國西面霸主。次年，他頒布米蘭詔書（Edict of Milan），給予基督徒更大的信仰自由，並發還在逼迫時期強迫充公的財產，停止其統治境內對基督徒的限制與逼迫。主後324年，君士坦丁一統天下，便公開支持基督教，並在次年發出通諭，勸告臣民信奉基督教。直至今日，神學家與歷史學家仍對君士坦丁悔改的動機常有爭辯。一方認為君士坦丁之所以擁護基督教，是為了其政治上的目的。另一方則相信，君士坦丁在其母海倫，以及穆勒威橋一役的影響下，有其信仰上的轉變與歸信。
因著基督教國教化，漸漸地，異教的信仰與風俗也一併進入了教會生活。這些異教的節期、邪惡的教訓，如同馬太福音所說，婦人所藏的麵酵，至終使全團發酵而腐敗。君氏在信主之前原是太陽教徒，信主之後，將每週的第一日訂為「太陽日」（Sunday），並將12月25日的太陽壽誕，混淆成為「聖誕節」。。而對聖人的崇拜、聖人遺物的迷信、以及外在的宗教儀式，漸漸使信徒失去原有的信仰與敬虔生活,這就是天主教的形成

加拉太書五章20節-21節「...異端...必不能承受神的國」,所以要謹慎判別誰是異端,避免錯信而得救無望.

天主教重要年事表
９５年：教會開始受到大逼迫
３１３年：羅馬君士坦丁大帝頒布米蘭勒令，宣佈寬容基督教
３２５年：教會第一次尼西亞會議，定亞流主義為異端
３３６年：聖誕節始於此年，但日期尚未統一，到了３５３年，里比亞主教才　　　
　　　　　首次訂為１２月２５日
３８１年：君士坦丁保會議，解決亞波里拿留主義所主張否認基督具有人性之
　　　　　爭論。
４３１年：以弗所會議後，開始崇拜馬利亞
４５１年：迦克墩會議，解決優提糾主義所主張基督的兩個性情合成為一個的　
　　　　　爭論
５５３年：君士坦丁堡會議，解決基督一性說的爭論
５９３年：教會中開始有煉獄的道理
６００年：開始規定以拉丁語崇拜
６８０年：君士坦丁堡會議，解決基督具有兩個意志的爭論
７８７年：第二次尼西亞會議：批準對偶像與信徒遺物的敬拜及對死人的祈禱
７８８年：大肆崇拜馬利亞
８１９年：開始守聖母升天節（８月１５日）
１０５４年：與希臘正教正式決裂
１０７４年：特如蘭會議（Trullian Synod）決定禁止神父結婚
１０７５年：強迫已結婚的神父和妻子離婚

從上表亦可看出天主教是人為地立規例,就如崇拜瑪利亞及信有煉獄等,並不是依照聖經(神的話語)而行,更何況聖經上加拉太書一章8節"...若傳福音給你們、與我們所傳給你們的不同、他就應當被咒詛。"


基督教因最能符合聖經的教導,所以能夠穩妥地上天堂,而天主教的終局能否得救也是未知之數,在出埃及記第二十章已經清楚列明不可為天上天下百物造象,也不可拜她,但天主教從為各所謂聖人造象,就已經完全違反左聖經既教導,其次,天主教的念珠,私自編寫玫瑰經,只有神父可赦罪,任何人藉任何宗教也可得救及信有煉獄等等,也是不符合聖經的


「宗教改革」是世人的稱呼，我們應當說「教會復原」。世人看我們是「宗教」，嚴格地說，我們是「召會」（教會）：神從世界各國呼召出來的人，歸名下，成了「基督的教會」。基督教會本來不用「改革」，因為我們不是世界團體，我們是屬神，屬天的「召會」，從使徒行傳開始有教會以來，教會（按照聖經教導的）不用人為的改革。可惜的是，直到4、5世紀的時候，那些混進教會裡的人把持了教會，使教會慢慢地變了質，特別在主後509年，天主教掌了權，統治教會，造成中世紀的「黑暗時代」，長達1000年之久。後來有人起而反抗天主教（羅馬教），要把教會恢復到使徒時代的真面貌。這是「宗教改革」的由來。他們為了抗拒羅馬教、更正羅馬教、恢復基督教，所以又叫「抗羅教」 Protestants、「更正教」、「新教」。我們本不應說「改教」；我們只可以說「更正」。我們沒有改，而是天主教改了，我們只不過「更正」就是了。

天主教的來歷
主後3世紀末，教會組織受羅馬政治法律的影響，形成了羅馬大公教，後稱羅馬教，1054年才稱天主教。因此天主教又稱「羅馬天主教」。羅馬大公教改變了古大公教的信仰和組織。
因此，天主教是從君士坦丁以後才興起，正式成立天主教是以大格理高裡當教皇開始（590年）。換言之，主後590年以前是沒有天主教的。以前都是稱為「基督教」。

天主教又名羅馬天主教,原因是由羅馬的君士坦丁大帝時才開始,斷不如如天主教徒所言的是由宗徒所流傳下來

许多人以为天主教和基督教没有甚麼分别，甚至基督教范围内的基督徒也有同样的看法，以为两者之间非常接近，也有许多人以为基督教是从天主教分出来的新教，这种思想和看法是错误的。他们只注意到马丁路得的改教运动产生了基督教，完全忘记自从耶稣降世一直到使徒时代，基督教便己经存在。天主教是使徒以后基督教日趋腐化的产物。事实上，在第四世纪罗马王君士坦丁统治之前，在基督教裏绝对没有教皇这一种位分。并且在第七世纪的初叶各教会才同意教皇作为教会中看得见的元首。所以我们纵使按最保守的讲法，在第四世纪初叶以前根本就没有天主教，因为天主教最大的特点是有教皇，基督教乃是早在基督时代便开始存在的了。

Is there a difference between
Catholic and Christian?


Q: "Is there a difference between being Catholic and being a Christian?"

our A: There are many denominations, types of churches that would be classified "Christian," such as Catholic, Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist, Lutheran and so on. But obviously there are members in each one who genuinely have a relationship with Christ, and those who don't.

So, the real issue isn't what church a person belongs to, but whether the person individually has Jesus Christ living inside of him or her...if they really have a personal relationship with God.

In the Gospel of John, we are told, "to all who received him [referring to Jesus], to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God."1 Why do we have to become children of God? Because until then, God is distant. We may know he's there. We may know we are supposed to worship him. We may even know that in times of need, he's the one to pray to. But there is a distance we are aware of, and it is because of our sin.

Now, as long as we live and breathe, guess what, we're going to sin. We're going to do things our way instead of God's way. But our sin need not remain a barrier between us and God. Here's how.

The Bible says that there is a penalty for sin, and it might be greater than you'd expect. The penalty for sin is death. It's not just the penalty for sins like murder. It's God's judgment against any and all sins. The Bible says, "For the wages of sin is death..."2 So that we would not have to die eternally separated from God because of our sin, Jesus died in our place. He fully paid for our sin. And offers us complete forgiveness. Not temporary forgiveness. Even for the sins we will commit in the future, we can have his forgiveness now, because Jesus died for all of our sin. We can immediately begin a close, personal relationship with him, that barrier of sin being gone. It isn't that we become perfect and no longer sin. But we become forgiven when we see that Jesus died for our sin, in our place.

"Yet now God in his gracious kindness declares us not guilty. He has done this through Christ Jesus, who has freed us by taking away our sins. For God sent Jesus to take the punishment for our sins and to satisfy God's anger against us. We are made right with God when we believe that Jesus shed his blood, sacrificing his life for us."3

When we receive Jesus Christ into our lives, God declares us "not guilty" and he says that we are now "made right with God." Our relationship with God has begun in a real way, where we no longer know God is "out there," but instead we know that he lives inside of us. We have God's forgiveness, a relationship with him. "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."4

If you would like to be certain that you have a personal relationship with God, your sins forgiven, and no longer any barrier between you and God, the following explain how to have this now: Knowing God Personally.

(1) John 1:12
(2) Romans 6:23
(3) Romans 3:23,24 (NLT)
(4) Romans 6:23
