Because Rome illustrates a lack of understanding of 1) Jesus Christ as our only mediator, 2) the Scriptures as our only rule of faith and practice, and 3) the Psalms as the word of God, Christians do not pay much heed to what RC apologists mutter to themselves to support the papacy's superstitions and idolatry.

You guys post that you declare yourselves the Judge of your salvation, so you have no need of Jesus as a mediator, unless it is between you and yourself. We have just established that the Reformed doctrine of the reprobate has no legitimacy in Scripture, and Paul himself would flee in horror from the Reformed claims of his words; and the Psalms do not supersede the words of Almighty God for Christians.

Keep the term Presbyterian; it suits your cult's belief.

No, the word of God declares whether or not men are saved. If a man has been given God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ, that man can be confident that God is faithful and He will lead, protect and save him through this life into the next.

The great deceit is that Rome does not teach such assurance to its members, but instead keeps them weary and fearful and uncertain.

Rome lies. Believe the word of God and be assured.

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." -- Romans 10:9


"And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day." -- John 6:40


"I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep...

I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep." -- John 10:11,14-15

Read the Bible, Mark. Christ already knows who His sheep are. He died for them and He will not leave them.

Learn the truth.
