All men's good works are worthless, jo kus. That's what Scripture tells us.

OTOH, the RCC tells men that their good works will get them to heaven, thereby contradicting God's word and diminishing the work of Christ on the cross.

As for the reprobates, they will burn in hell, so I'm not sure how much God cares for them. Not a lot, it would seem.

But for those whom God elected to salvation through faith in His Son, it's a very different story. God loves them so much He gave His only begotten Son to pay for every one of their sins, yesterday's, today's and tomorrow's.

It sometimes seems like the only way the RCC thinks it can score any points in these debates is to ridicule and create straw men no one is defending. If that's all you've got, that's all you've got.

Speaking of straw men, you keep claiming that the the Catholic Church tells men that their good works will get them into Heaven.

You really don’t get it, do you?

Your elitist, selectivist, bingo elections are ludicrous when compared to Scripture. Give it up. Just come back. God loves everyone; he does not wish to trash the bulk of humanity into the everlasting fires of hell. God loves mankind, not just those picked out of the lottery of the everlasting.
