This is why so many Protestants deride the saints as “dead people.” Really? There is no eternal life?

Art, repeatedly over the past year at least, you've made it a Catholic scholarship versus Protestant lack of scholarship contest in your posts on FR.

You omit one important fact which you SHOULD know because of the sheer number of times you've been told: Many Christian posters on FR are not trained by Protestant theologians or are dependent for religious instruction on these particular Protestants you name over and over and over.

Many Christians here, including myself, have received a knowledge of WHO Jesus of Nazareth really is from reading the Gospels and other New Testament books in addition to the Old Testament books compiled in the Holy Bible.

Not only have I learned and ACCEPTED that Jesus of Nazareth is the Christ and the Son of the Living God via Scripture and hearing and responding to the foolishness of the preaching the Cross, I also have a personal intimate daily relationship with Him in Spirit and via His Written Word and have been given the Seal that promises me that I am known in Christ as well.

No believer in Lord Jesus Christ needs Rome or any other religious system to be a Christian and to be saved from the second death and eternal separation from Almighty God and to have fellowship with the saints here and now.
