The saints in your opinion would be whom? Does mother Theresa fit the Bill? She saved so many sick, poor and helpless.
Does John Paul 2 who fought the Godless communists from the pulpit while in Poland and risked soviet reprisals for his faith count ?
Maybe Martin Luther because he nailed his thesis to the cathedral? Sounds like destruction of property to me, but hey, the Catholic Church needed a kick in the pants at that time, selling indulgences etc.
In my RC parochial grade school, we were taught that saints were the people who made it to heaven. Those are the only saints. All others including those who have been given the title ‘Saint’. Are only given a title here on earth. They may or may not really be saints.
Saints are those who have repented of their sins and received the Holy Spirit by faith
just like the Bible says
Not all saints live Holy lives, but it should be evident by their lives they are Saints
Not all saints did miracles, but the RCC demands 2 miracles to prove someone is a saint.
The answer to the questions below is NO:
1Cor 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
1Cor 12:29 [Are] all apostles? [are] all prophets? [are] all teachers? [are] all workers of miracles?
1Cor 12:30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
1Cor 12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
No, not all do miracles, yet Paul calls them saved, saints, set apart ones.
The RCC has established many doctrines that are just not Biblical...just as modern protestantism has.
Both are liberal now, it seems, I still believe the best you’re going to get is a Bible Church or an independent Baptist Church, but even they are falling aside and becoming laxidaisical
Our time of judgement is coming, and quickly, our nation needs to repent of their sins and fall on their faces before God and repent and get saved.
Neither the RCC or mainstream Protestantism will teach them that
Nope...
Does John Paul 2 who fought the Godless communists from the pulpit while in Poland and risked soviet reprisals for his faith count ?
Not in the least...
Maybe Martin Luther because he nailed his thesis to the cathedral?
Not for that reason...
In my RC parochial grade school, we were taught that saints were the people who made it to heaven. Those are the only saints. All others including those who have been given the title ‘Saint’. Are only given a title here on earth. They may or may not really be saints.
You were taught wrong...No one knows who made it to heaven...It may be that none of your popes are in heaven...
There's a reason you Catholic students were never taught from a bible...
Php_1:1 Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
That's because the bible proves your religion wrong on so many counts...Paul was talking to Saints in a specific town...
