If you could get one of them to answer the question honestly, I'd bet that what keeps Catholics from sin if fear...Bearing in mind of course that there isn't much that Catholics do that they consider to be sin...
Can anyone imagine how the Catholics would react if one could convince them that lying, gambling, getting drunk, using God's name in vain, acting like a heathen in general were actually sins???
That's not to suggest that Protestants don't sin because we all do...
So where's the difference???
So can I as a Christian kill someone and still go to heaven??? Yes...Can I commit adultery and still go to heaven??? Yes...Just the same as I can steal a pencil and go to heaven...
So how does that work??? Although I can kill someone, I DON'T WANT TO...God has put it into my heart to please Him...That's the difference...
Catholic obviously don't know that...Just as God puts it into my heart to not get soused, not to use his name in vain, and all other sin...I am free to do anything I want...And I do...But I want to please God along the way so I try to stay away from things that are not pleasing to Him...They don't get it...
Spot on Iscool! Unfortunately only the truly saved will even understand what you just said. Separating the spiritual and carnal is foreign to the unsaved. Oh that we could just convince them but it isn’t up to us. We can only proclaim the truth of the gospel.
Not in an unrepentant state. Do none of the Gospel teachings matter to you guys?
