Re: #328

How do you reconcile the passage that the church is "the pillar and foundation of truth" with the fact that non-Catholic churches teach conflicting doctrines, especially doctrines regarding salvation?

Matthew 16:18-20 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Isaiah 20:22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.

Revelation 3:6-8 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;

"...that non-Catholic churches teach conflicting doctrines, especially doctrines regarding salvation?"

All the Calvinistic "non-Catholic" churches teach the same regarding salvation. No conflict among those of us who hold to the "doctrines of grace".

Isaiah 20:22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.

BTW There is no Isa.20:22

One more thing..the "he"(in Isa 22:22) is Jesus Christ,King of Kings and Lord of Lords..not a pope!
