The Bible-believing “separated brethren” offer this alternative...read the Book the organization claims to have provided and find out what the Apostles thought about the way things really are. The nonsense peddled by Rome is not there.
John, “The one who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself.” “He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, in order that you may know that you have eternal life.”
John is sadly(?) absent the information Rome claims is necessary to find salvation. I think I’ll stick with John.
Don’t pretend that Catholics ignore John.
Many anti-Christians believe that there was a historical person named Jesus, but what is that they believe about him? Did you not notice John wrote such things as, “Yea, verily I tell you this: unless you eat of my body and drink of my flesh, you shall not have life within you?” Or, “He who believes in me will do the things the Father has commanded him?”
Do you believe that the Epistle of St. James is the bible or not? Because St. James wrote, “Even demons believe that God is One, and they shudder. Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did.You see that faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected; And so the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” And so he was called God’s friend. You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.”
Luther had no come-back for that, and so he proclaimed that the Epistle of James was evil, and was not Christian. He also was forced to deny the authenticity of Hebrews, 2 and 3 John, and the Apocalypse of St. John (”Revelation”). Only by tradition did it remain in the Protestant canon, for the Calvinists had no reply to it, either.
