The Catholic Church says those Protestants who were born into their error and don't know any better may be saved as a result of their invincible ignorance. You keep talking about having gotten saved by leaving the Catholic Church. But any Catholic who leaves for Protestantism is guilty of the sin of schism and heresy loses his or her salvation. http://www.keyway.ca/htm2009/20090808.htm As Vatican II teaches in Lumen Gentium: 14. This Sacred Council wishes to turn its attention firstly to the Catholic faithful. Basing itself upon Sacred Scripture and Tradition, it teaches that the Church, now sojourning on earth as an exile, is necessary for salvation. Christ, present to us in His Body, which is the Church, is the one Mediator and the unique way of salvation. In explicit terms He Himself affirmed the necessity of faith and baptism(124) and thereby affirmed also the necessity of the Church, for through baptism as through a door men enter the Church. Whosoever, therefore, knowing that the Catholic Church was made necessary by Christ, would refuse to enter or to remain in it, could not be saved.

INDEED.

SAD, THOUGH.

Folks tend to pigeon hole others hereon rather harshly because of various beliefs and posting styles.

Some of us tend to collect more personal attacks than reasonable rational meaty replies.

I’m used to folks having little to say in response to my assertions. People have responded to me with speechlessness more or less all my life in a variety of situations. LOL.

With the RC’s it seems to be !!!!TRADITION!!!! to respond with a personal assault vs even more idiotic blather.

With the REPLACEMENTARIANS . . . sometimes I wonder who’s worse at such games—them or the RC’s. Sigh.

I don’t really have any apology for writing fiercely about the outrageous blasphemous assaults on The Bible and God’s priorities. SOMEBODY needs to stand up and let loose about how the cow ate the cabbage on such important and outrageous examples of doctrines of demons and from hell.

You do such an excellent job. And, you get to be so mild mannered in the process! Congrats!

I’ve been wondering if some of the shrillness is because of

1. Conviction of Holy Spirit is being turned up somehow.

2. Folks are realizing that their cosmologies, constructions on reality and other theological notions just don’t hold as much water as they have long thought.

and/or

3. The END TIMES STUFF in daily life is parallelling THE BIBLE SOOOOO CLOSELY—and increasingly so—it’s starting to rattle folks.

In any case, they haven’t seen anything yet.

I have just posted a new thread on Jim Tetlow’s
