I can not care less what the Roman Catholic Church thinks about other true, Biblical Christian doctrine. Call me a heretic because I left the ROMAN Catholic Church - the Lord God Almighty sees my heart and recognizes true faith. I do not need nor want your Imprimatur. I know what I believe and why!
No wonder you disparage sola scriptura and sola fide, your religion has rejected what scripture teaches about salvation by grace through faith and substituted man's works and merits in place of the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ our savior and Lord. It is truly sad that you cannot see that ALLreligion enslaves mankind by putting the responsibility on him to earn salvation rather than God reaching down to us and binding us back to him through unmerited, unearned, undeserved GRACE. You further enslave by claiming your religion alone is the source of grace when it has not the faintest idea anymore of what that word even means.
I've had enough LIES for one day - thank you!
Well said.
“In light of what we are all going through with the crisis in American government this very night, can you all not refrain from more religious one-up-manship for ONE day???”
Right, and to top it off, Drudge ran a lead about a certain devout Roman Catholic who prayed to her idol, “Saint Francis,” to defeat her “enemies” before this vote. Enemies like we FReepers.
Of course, we have had countless RCC apologists here on FR assure us that Roman Catholics really do now pray to idols. Now where do you suppose Pelosi got such a notion of praying to “Saint Francis” from anyway? Protestants?
And they are going to lecture Protestants about heresy! Give me a break.
Disclaimer: Maybe it wasn’t Saint Francis she prayed to, I might not have the right “Saint,” maybe it was Saint Bartholomew, or ... Whatever, its still idolatry.
STEP 3: Accuse the Catholic church of denying salvation by grace.
Spread less lies about what the Catholic Church teaches and you will be better humored by Catholics.
The only way to unity is through Catholicism.
I'm not a Catholic, but I don't see 'all religion enslaves'. Your exhortation is a good example of 'sola fide'. The Catholic problems arises from this error pointed out in the article:
sola scriptura ("by Scripture alone"—the idea that we must use only the Bible when forming our theology)
Scripture is the only true source of doctrine as it is the only 'certified' Word of God extant. Certified by God Himself.
