Ive been told right here in the Forum that I'm going to hell because I don't attend church.

There is only one being who will decide whether you go to Heaven or Hell and that is God.

Case Closed!

Whoever had the audacity to say such a thing to you is completely nuts - and you can tell them that Expatguy said so.

The way I see it.


People who presume to tell me what God will do to me aren't showing much concern for their own soul.

But Roman Catholic dogma, properly understood, as taught in the Catechism, explained by soon-to-be-pope Ratzinger's seminal work, will lead you to a false understanding of salvation, which, assuming we are destined to hell if left unsaved, leads you to hell, according to reformed Protestant doctrine, to which I happen to adhere.

But if all that is required to be saved is faith, why would Catholics go to hell?

That is to say, if a person believes in Christ, why would he go to hell if he believed something else was required on top of that belief? He still believes in Christ, even though he might hold some extraneous beliefs.

Agreed! This is so sad. Also, this is one of the reasons I left the Baptists a long time ago.

OBTW, love your blog!!!

Well, it's time to rile the Calvinists!


church. There is only one being who will decide whether you go to Heaven or Hell and that is YOU!

Hebrews 11:6

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
