If that’s all you believe, then I feel sorry for you. The richness of Catholicism is beyond human understanding.
“Definitely not what St. Paul meant.”
Perhaps this might clear up any confusion:
“For by grace you are saved THROUGH FAITH, and that not of yourselves, for it is the GIFT of God; NOT OF WORKS, that no man may glory.” Eph. 2:8-9
Spoken like someone who knows nothing their faith teaches. Pitiful and pitiable at the same time. You won't even read your catechism to find out what you 'really believe' when you claim to be Catholic. "Never figgered you for a coward."
Roger that GC. Remember, they had mouthed Him first. 😇
You show no proof from scripture for your answers. Are they just your opinions?
"The gospel is not a religion of works, but a religions of faith."
Okay, that reminds me of this:
"This only would I learn of you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of FAITH?"—Galatians 3:2
Wherefore the confusion?
So the "remnant" of Catholics are going to flee because of the "Cafeteria Catholics"? Is this told in some fairy tale book somewhere or what is you documentation as evidence of this belief you have? I have seen no reason to believe that as you say "I know what I Know!". So far all I have seen is you statements of opinion with no documentation or evidence. What's up with that?
If you think these are bad, try having an intelligent discussion with a member of the INC. Now that sir, is an exercise in futility.
I was just posting to show what people need to believe to become a Christian. You were talking about a "catholic" god which I've never seen reference to in the Word.
Is there other excellent stuff in the Bible I believe in? You betcha!
But just so we keep things in context....
From your post 108
YOU:I serve the Catholic God. I serve the the Savior, Our Lord Jesus Christ, I serve the Holy Spirit. I serve the One Holy and Apostolic Church. I believe in the forgiveness of sin, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting
ME: Not sure who the Catholic God is....however....
Christians serve the God of Heaven and have faith in His only begotten Son, Jesus, for the complete forgiveness of all of their sins...past, present and future. The Holy Spirit has sealed the believer and indwells in the believer as the Helper.
That would be so very true of catholicsm....redefine words until they fit the needed meaning!
I'm not familiar with the acronym.
Do we have to go back to superficial internet theology. This stuff you write has been gone over and over again by theologians of every Christian stripe.
At the end of the day we revert to the fundamental question: Who’s interpretation must we take? I’ll take Petrine authority over yours, mine, or any of the corner street foursquare church pastors, as have a galaxy of theologians, the early Church fathers, a constellation of converts to Catholicism, and of course the saints, martyrs, and stigmatists of the Church.
Yeah! Cool google KNOWS!
You are ‘seeming’ now, what happen to Knowing what I know?
Still, the catechism calls them Muslims. No conversion there. If you are Catholic, you must believe your god and the Muslim god are one. Else yur jes one of them cafeteria Catholics, the kind that runs away. You have no other option. You have no right to dispute what your betters have said in the Catechism.
It was a Catholic site. Run by Catholics. They were all in, I called it ‘pap’.
Unbelievable! Do you honestly believe that there is no redemption in the suffering of a person who may be experiencing the agony of cancer?
How SAD!
