I’ve read the Catechism and I’ve spurned the lies it contains in exchange for the truth in God’s Word, the Bible.
Salvation is not by communion or baptism or church membership.
Why does Rome lift herself up? "Come home to the church." Why? The church saves no one. The church is the RECIPIENT of salvation, not the avenue of salvation.
Fascinating. I've followed your posts over the last few days here. They seem a little, well, they seem to protest too much. The Faith came from Jesus and the teachings of the Apostles. The NT Scripture came well after, almost as an afterthought as the Apostles and their successors began slowly to realize that Jesus wasn't coming back any time soon.
So, we have the following: teachings of Jesus; teachings of the Apostles; teachings of the Church; Greek NT; Latin NT; Reformation gobbledegook utilizing Latin texts retrotranslated from Latin to Greek; English NT. Which is more accurate? Kolo is absolutely correct; English is a lousy theological language. I'd invite you to learn Greek and see for yourself what the Church teaches and compare that to the rantings in whatever Protestant prayer barn you attend this year (or this half of this year, or...).
Christian faith is not a faith of the book, like Islam is, mm. Or any of the other novel inventions claiming the Christian title over the last 500 years.
