He doesn’t say what Rome claims. Keep trying.
Are Roman Catholics familiar with the concept of faith? That is how we have Christ in us along with the Spirit. And they never leave us.
Yes. I am familiar with the virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity.
I question whether many know what is true Faith and not the personal opinions of some people or the ways of the world.
Your belief is wrong if one’s soul is in mortal sin.
It is my understanding that Jesus will soon give us warning and we will see our soul and our sins.
The theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity are foundational graces given by God to the soul, orienting us directly toward Him (CCC 1812-1813). Faith is the grace by which we believe in God’s love and revealed truths (Luke 1:45; John 11:25-26; Ephesians 2:8).
Hope is the confident trust in God’s promise of salvation and eternal life if we repent (Romans 5:2; Hebrews 6:17-20; 1 Peter 1:3-5).
Charity, the greatest of these, moves the will to love God above all and to love neighbor as oneself (Deuteronomy 6:4-6; Matthew 22:36-40; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13). These virtues are infused by God and perfect the soul’s relationship with Him, unlike moral virtues which govern our conduct (CCC 1813).
As Paul teaches, “Now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love” (1 Corinthians 13:13).
You don’t have a clue. You may not have the graces needed to understand God’s word. Or even St clement.
It's clear there isn't unanimous consent on this issue or others that are particular to Roman Catholicism.
And I do understand the Word of God. It's written so one can understand it as John noted.
You don’t even address your own misrepresentations about the catholic faith.
As I remember Cronos has addressed your false beliefs many times.
The dude has zero credibility now after one of his posts. ZERO.
My comments on Roman Catholicism are correct. RCs don't like them....but they are correct.
The recent conversation on unanimous consent is but one example.
