Even if I concluded my happy talk with the statement that "all you need to do is believe", do you really think it's enough?

And that is why I am so grateful that Christ established a Church to protect the deposit of faith of our Triune God.

What does that even mean, if you don't think Christ being with you for your entire life isn't enough?

Roman Catholics need to read the Bible.

I don't say "all you need to do is believe." Jesus Christ, second person of the Trinity; Son of God; Lord, Savior and Redeemer of the world; that is who says "all you need to do is believe."

The rest will all fall into place if you have been justified by the good shepherd. Trust in Christ alone, and the rest is easy.

"Be not afraid; only believe." -- Mark 5:36

That is the instruction of Jesus Christ to you and me personally, specifically, immediately.

It is enough. It is everything.

"Be not afraid,only believe."

We can both agree on that!!Although we may place what it means to us a little differently.

And,wasn't it Paul that said "I believe,I believe,Lord,help my unbelief"? What do you think he meant?

You both understood what was said there? I’ve read it 3 times and I still don’t get it/
