I'm sorry your church teaches this. It seems to be the standard response from RC's. If you read Scripture on your own Roms 10:9, or ICor 15:1-4 will teach you The Gospel.

Jesus is incapable of teaching the Gospel - but it takes only five verses of Paul to do so? No wonder your theology differs so significantly from Christianity.

Wow! Five verses is all we need, that's remarkable!

Do you realize how much money the Gideons would have saved if someone had explained that everything would fit on a business card?

Let's take a look:

For if thou confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thy heart that God hath raised him up from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
-- Romans 10:9

[1] Now I make known unto you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you have received, and wherein you stand; [2] By which also you are saved, if you hold fast after what manner I preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain. [3] For I delivered unto you first of all, which I also received: how that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures: [4] And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day, according to the scriptures:
-- 1 Corinthians 15:1-4

Now, I will certainly agree that these verses are important. However, they contain NOTHING that's not in the ACTUAL Gospels and leave out a great deal that is.

To a non-believer being presented with these five verses the immediate question would almost certainly be, "WHY should I believe this? What is so special about Jesus Christ? What did He actually say?" Now, if we look at the words of Saint Paul, he himself speaks of the Gospel he has preached, he DOES NOT suggest that this is the Gospel. These are VERY IMPORTANT verses that tell us the importance of the Gospel, but they ARE NOT the Gospel.

This from a member of a church that teaches bowing down to idols, praying to the dead, works buying salvation, works of one person can be applied to another, and the continual need for grace refills. Thank you.

I'll stick with what Scripture teaches rather than the garbage taught by a bunch of fools who don't have enough sense to hold to Scripture as the rule of their faith.
