I will continue to defend my SB beliefs when we are told we are going to hell because we are not catholic. No religion has a right to declare they are the only way to heaven. Some protestants say the same about their church and I do not believe them either. No where in the Bible does it say we have to be Catholic or another denomination.
I'm Catholic, and have been vehemently criticised for my belief that Jesus died for all mankind; that we need to love God and love our neighbor. Each of us believes our Churches, yours Southern Baptist and mine Roman Catholic, has the fullness of the Truth. If a person believes they've found the truth in a denomination, why would they not choose to belong? God bless you! Keep the faith, rejoice in it, and may it give you joy, peace, and all the other Fruits of the Holy Spirit mentioned in Scripture! And may we meet someday together in Heaven!
God be with you!
I don't know any Christians who think their church has the *fullness of Truth*. The only place THE Truth can be found is in Scripture itself.
If a person believes they've found the truth in a denomination, why would they not choose to belong?
I can't see any reason why they wouldn't but again, truth is found in God's word, not a denomination.
Jesus is the only name under heaven by which we must be saved, not any church or denomination.
One of my daughters died in 04, then in May, 06, my brother was found dead by his tractor. In July, 06, my husband died, 2 weeks later, my sister’s husband died and in January 07 my mom died. God is the answer——the only answer. I am truly blessed
