This is the sad aspect of being non-Catholic. Everyone and their grandmother down to your local corner street FourSquare Church pastor and Rev. Wright and Rev. Sharpton each supply us with their “own” understanding of sacred scripture rather than follow the teachings of the Church established by Christ with Peter being given the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven and the Great Commission given to Peter and his disciples to go forth and teach...... That means ONE teaching and ONE truth for two millennia in an unbroken tradition of scriptural interpretation, tradition, revelation, worship and veneration, and counting until the end of times where the gates of hell shall not prevail against her. No need for born again. The “born again” are those baptized in the Catholic Church and who keep the Sacraments. No wonder leading Protestant theologians, pastors, and Bishops have converted to Catholicism including a former Chief Rabbi.
The sad aspect of being Catholic, for some of y'all, is this mythical idea of what your church is and has been over the centuries. You imagine that ONLY your church has the inside track on the truth of Jesus Christ and that only your church can provide souls the way to salvation and eternal life. Yet, we KNOW from Holy Scripture that it is Jesus Christ who is the way, the truth and the life and NO ONE comes to the Father but by him. He certainly never said the way was through a church neither did any of the Apostles and you'll not find even one verse in Scripture that says that either.
The truth is that the church of Jesus Christ, his body and bride, is ALL those who have come to him in faith and received the gift of God by grace. Those who are BORN AGAIN - I know you reject that term, but Jesus used it and so did the Apostles, so I will, too - are part of this body, this church - which simply means the called-out ones. We are called-out of this world and into the living hope which is Jesus Christ. We are all living stones that fit together into Jesus' spiritual house. The Roman Catholic Church is not the one, true church because believers are found in many different worship fellowships. Not everyone who is Catholic IS a genuine Christian but neither is every Baptist or Presbyterian or Eastern Orthodox. It is a personal relationship with Christ that makes us INDIVIDUALLY part of his body. We are kept by the same grace that made us born again and we aren't saved by our own merits and works. All the dunking in water, taking the sacraments and doing of all the corporal works of mercy cannot earn what God gives to us as a free gift.
You say there is "no need for born again"? God says you have no part in heaven if you are not born again. We must all come out from under the veil of confusion and doubt and trust in the one who died to make us free. ONLY in Christ is there redemption.
You mean that ONE teaching where those Christian murdering savages in the Middle East are your brothers in God while born again Protestant Christians are anathema to your religion???
You guys can claim it as often as you want but it's pretty clear to this Bible Believer that the gates of Hell does prevail against your religion, case in point, your love-fest with barbaric muzlims...
So says the church of fatima .. that is funny.. so says the church that shows itself as violaters of 1 John 4:2.. especially with Mary being taught as sinless....the power of the main antichrist resides in Rome.... I would pay attention to any agreements Israel and Vatican sign......
