"What Would God Do?"
That's not for me to say, but it's true that demons will try to pull you away constantly; I've read your soul is nagged even after you have died. That's why it's important in life to live His Word ... [and Catholics would add to that] consume His Body, ask His forgiveness through Reconciliation, and pray like a monk to His mother, if we are to stand any chance at all in joining Him in His Kingdom. Christianity is not a 101 course ("I've been saved! I've been saved!"). It's a lifetime of listening, praying, fasting, listening some more, reading, worshiping, doing good works, etc., and if you're "lucky," one of the "chosen ones," suffering with Christ on His Cross.

A great non-Catholic Christian, IMO, is one who lives their faith, without taunts in other directions. My Sunday School teacher -- Missouri Synod -- gave me a St. Teresa of Avila quote beautifully handwritten on an index card -- as part of my wedding gift. It was sweet, and we both agreed with its message!

(Thanks for not capping.)

If your salvation can be lost, then in the end, Satan has won over the Finished Work of Christ. It's that simple. Does that really make sense to you? And with your It's a lifetime of listening, praying, fasting, listening some more, reading, worshiping, doing good works, etc.

, then you must be "LUCKY" enough to be one of the chosen ones? And if you have not read enough, done enough good works, fasting long enough, prayed hard enough, listened closely enough, etc. enough, then you do not inherit eternal life and Satan has won? I thought Satan was defeated by the cross.
