What a terrible thing to suffer under the guilt of the Catholic Church. Again and again we are told in scripture that it’s impossible to live under the law. True Christians live under the security of knowing that Christ has paid the price in full. True Christians are covered by the blood of Christ. True Christians already appear before the Throne of God clothed in the perfection of Christ.
John 17:23: Christ Himself prays to His Father: "I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one.
Galatians 2:20: Paul speaks of himself and all true Christians: "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me."
Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Galatians 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life." (John 5:24)
1 Corinthians 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Hebrews 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. 14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. It’s an awful, awful thing to be taught by the Catholic Church. To deny the complete price Christ paid. Those who follow the teaching of the CC put themselves back under the law.
Rom. 11:6, "But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace."
Certainly an answer for those who wonder how our future sins that we haven't repented of yet can be forgiven.
I still wonder what Catholics do about those unintentional sins they sin that they don't repent of because they are unaware of them. Or if they forget about a sin they committed and don't repent of it for that reason.
Same old misunderstandings. It's all in your symantics.
So mental assent in Christ thats it? What do you do when you sinned do you ask God for forgiveness.?What part do you play in this role? If there is action as a Christian what is it?
