Is your faith really in Christ and His redeeming work for you on the cross or is your faith actually in your Church? You had better have the right answer which is that your faith is in Christ and Christ alone for your salvation or you don't make it into heaven and that means hell, not purgatory. Eternity is a long time to spend burning in the lake of fire.

Put your faith in the person of Jesus Christ who shed His blood for the forgiveness of your sins or you die with them still on your personal account. There isn't a Church on earth that can save you. Church is a place the saved go to worship God their Savior.

Catholics on FR constantly seem to hide behind the accusation that those who oppose some Catholic doctrines are haters. Has it ever occurred to you that we are Catholic lovers. I, for one, fear for the eternal soul of many devout Catholics. To me and others it strongly appears that many of you are putting your faith into your Church rather than in Jesus Christ Himself. Your Church cannot save you. Only Christ can. It is love that bothers to try to get you to understand this so that you do not spend the endless eons of eternity burning in the lake of fire.

I ask you to honestly answer this question. Do you believe that "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but hath everlasting life"? Or do you believe, as it seems to many of us so called Catholic haters, that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in The Catholic Church will not perish but have everlasting life?

Now don't give a knee jerk reaction. Search your hearts and see which version of this ultimately important statement you believe. Your eternity is depending on what you really, truly believe about how you must be saved.
