Are you seriously saying you haven't seen this asserted countless times on FR, or are you only saying you think we poor, benighted Papists are too stupid to follow a syllogism?
2. Catholics are not Christians
What we do see a lot on these threads are people identifying with a church....not the Savior.
How rare it is for a Roman Catholic to identify as a Christian. I've encountered that in the real world as well...when asked if you are a believer in Christ people say "I'm a Catholic.".
That's not the question.
Jesus put a similar type question to Peter and the disciples when He asked them, "Who do you say I am?" or "Who do people say I am?".
I've asked numerous Roman Catholics, you included, on these threads if they follow Christ and Christ alone....and the reply? Often times....silence.
The New Testament is clear....if you're not trusting in only Christ for your salvation, then you're not one of His followers.
6Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me." John 14:6 NASB
8But what does it say? “THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, 9that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. 11For the Scripture says, “WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.” Romans 10:8-11 NASB
Will you, or anyone else reading this thread, call upon the Lord and be saved today?
I would be humbled to discuss this further on freepmail if you or anyone else has any questions.
What other denomination have you seen promoted by *Prots* as the one true church?
Lutherans?
Baptists?
Methodists?
Yes, only Christians go to heaven, and religious affiliation doe snot make one Christian.
Catholics MAY be Christians. Some Catholics no doubt are, just like some Baptists are, and some Lutherans are and some Methodists are.
But just because someone wears a denominational tag does not mean by default that they are Christian.
Nor do all Christians wear denominational tags. Some Christians do not belong to (are members of) any church.
IF you are a catholic does that mean you are therefore heaven bound? If some ... oh never mind. You will only twist anything offered to seek a way to defend the blasphemous dogmas of catholiciism. And for the record, I am certain there are Christians in Catholic churches. I am also certain being Catholic is not synonymous with being a Born Again Christian. Have you been born from above? What is your destiny according to the Promises from God?
