Bottom line for all those trusting in any religion, is when you die you will bust hell wide open. You can pray to Mary, Matthew, Mark, John or Jesus all day long, every day; and it won’t save you, nor will God hear you. Your prayers go from your mouth to your own itching ears and no further.
Paul said about himself, 2 Timothy 2:7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
1 Corinthians 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
You don’t have to go any where, do anything, say anything, or pray anything; only need to believe the Gospel of your salvation as preached above by the Apostle Paul.
The problem with all those trapped in religion is they will believe anything and everything...but they cannot tell you the gospel; even when it is pointed out to them; They will rail against it...watch...
Provocation: As Paul said of the Jews; Romans 11:14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
Exactly my point ... to provoke these Catholics to turn from their praying to dead saints which cannot save. Christ alone and His FINISHED WORK ON THE CROSS is the only grace way to be saved. Catholics...believe in Christ in 1 Corinthians 15:3 for free grace salvation. Free yourself from the bondage of being trapped inside a religious system that even Christ condemned from Israel’s vain religious system in the Gospels. Follow the Apostle Paul; who was made a minister to us gentiles; Peter effectually was made a minister to the circumcision, not Paul.
AMEN, PoloSec. “Religious” people will believe anything and everything EXCEPT the Gospel. It seems to be the only thing that is not trusted. Visions, miracles, relics, traditions, ceremonies, are wholeheartedly accepted and celebrated. And the FREE GIFT OF GOD remains unclaimed.
