Wow! Eight or nine replies to take apart, to protest sentence by sentence Catholic writings and my posts
last evening, I think they’re all to other people.

Who would go to such an effort especially when they
post Jesus death on the Cross justifies them? They’re
in, they’re saved.

Why bother?

Forget using the Bible to come against the Church and second, private judgment is a man-made teaching, not of Christ. And some people, tell them the sun is yellow, they will disagree.

There are lurkers reading those threads who need to read the TRUTH of Scripture to counter the erroneous teaching about salvation put forth by Catholicism. Baptism does not save. Salvation is and always has been by faith.

Tell me, how did people get saved BEFORE the Catholic church came along? If Catholicism is the way of salvation, then why didn't God just institute that in the first place instead of giving the Law?

Why bother?

So people can read the truth. And besides, why do Catholics feel the need to post their beliefs? Aren't others equally entitled to post theirs?

Forget using the Bible to come against the Church and second, private judgment is a man-made teaching, not of Christ.

Why? God's word is Truth and THE truth.

John 17:17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.

2 Corinthians 4:2 But we have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God's word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to everyone's conscience in the sight of God.

Ephesians 1:13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,

And some people, tell them the sun is yellow, they will disagree.

That's right. It constantly amazes me how some people will deny clear, plainly stated truths out of the Bible and constantly believe teachings which are outright contradicted by Scripture.

Because that is what the Lord has commanded; to spread the Good News. While it is unlikely to affect you, there are others who read these threads.

I suspect because they recognize you as a seeker/sibling in Christ, love you and want you to enjoy the blessed assurance we have in Him.

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. – Romans 8:38-39

For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. - Colossians 3:3

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. – John 5:24

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. - Romans 8:9

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4:6-7

God's Name is I AM.
