Yes, works are important, after faith in Christ. He says faith without works is dead and works without faith is dead. Our faith in Christ is the lynchpin but we ARE commanded to do good works in His name. How can you NOT do them.
Our church most definitely believes that we are part of the Bride of Christ. I know I am! Yes, the Word is Jesus Christ and is living. No argument on either one of these points.
I think you misunderstand a lot of protestant (read non-catholic) beliefs. We’re on the same page on most things,at least those that are scriptural. Blessings, Maryxxx
No, I don't. It's just that so many protestants don't agree with each other. See Iscool's posts and see if you agree with him...
Thank you for your rational conversation.
