No kidding; my guess is they'll find far warmer than they expected.

As will anyone else who leaves Christ out of the equation.
Christ told us how to reach heaven, and it did not involve the Catholic Church.
Ann is a cultist and I will never read another column from her
If we are to believe that, we must also realize that Peter's church consisted of Jewish believers...Peter's commission was to preach to the Jews...
You guys ignore the fact that it is Paul who was chosen to lead the church of the Gentiles...It is Gentiles who make up the vast, vast majority of Jesus' church...The Roman Catholic religion is a Gentile religion...
Act 9:15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
Jesus spoke this about Paul...Jesus never said anything like this to or about Peter or any other apostle...You are following the wrong pope...Your popes are following the wrong pope...
And what's even more interesting is that none of your popes follow what Peter taught...And they clearly don't follow what Paul taught...But what your popes do claim is that even tho they don't follow Peter nor Paul, that somehow the scriptures gave them (your popes) the authority to create it's own scriptures and ultimately its own church outside of the scriptures...To create a religion that is in opposition to the scriptures based on snippets of scripture along with pagan rituals and practices along the way...
The best thing you could do is to step away from the Catholic catechism, pick up a bible and read the New Testament without Catholic influence...And pray a lot to Jesus while reading...
My haven’t we got some thin skin, using bold now.
Try reading what I write slowly. YOU are claiming authority to make stupid, inappropriate, unfounded assertions based on tiny snippets of text from the bible and now you have the nerve to start putting words in my mouth.
I and many others here do not recognize you as an authority to make such claims. Again, what are your credentials to make such claims? You haven’t presented any thus far so I still do not have any reason to believe anything you have to say on the subject. I have given you the opportunity to present your credentials and you have failed to do so.
Feel free to misdirect, obfuscate and blather ad nausea but it only serves to further discount your conclusions.
Yes. Christ's Church teaches that there exists the possibility of salvation for anyone who is ignorant of Christ, through no fault of his own, yet tries to do good and follow truth to the best of his ability, since such people are implicitly following Christ, who is Goodness and Truth Itself.
Christ's Church teaches nothing of the sort -- the Roman Catholic Cult teaches it; and it is a heretical false gospel. Try reading Ephesians chapter 2. Grace saves, not works we do. Ever. we could NEVER do enough to "earn" heaven.
While you're at it, read John 6:44 where Christ himself says:
No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.
The Father draws to Christ ... We don't (and can't) do anything!
So tell me--does the Roman Catholic Church/Cult TRUMP God Almighty himself? Not to mention what God thinks of false gospels.

The difference is that one faith is true and one is partly true. But that's a judgement that you will have to come to on your own.
Nope, I gave the authority of scripture to which you still have not responded. Show where the apostles taught the assumption of Mary or the requirement to believe it.
First, you need to prove that claim.
Second, the Holy Spirit inspired the writers of the NT to write it in Greek.
The Greek text settles the question of who the rock on which the church is built truly is.
Just what I thought... none, nada, nothing...zilch. Your just makin all this stuff up aren’t you?
It’s ok reading is hard, it’s not for everyone.
Yes indeed it does.. which is why Mother Teresa never told the dying Hindus of Christ.. she believed it they were good Hindus they was enough
The only ones Rome curses to hell is protestants ..
So did the writers of scripture translate it into Greek on their own or did Jesus instruct them to do it???
And which dialect of Aramaic did Jesus speak??? There were about a thousand of them...
And why didn't the Aramaic to Greek translators write,
Thou are petra and upon this petra I will build my church???
THIS is the Latin that Jerome translated into the Vulgate:
18 et ego dico tibi quia tu es Petrus et super hanc petram aedificabo ecclesiam meam et portae inferi non praevalebunt adversum eam
You might want to notice that Jerome used two differnt words for rock instead of one...Isn't it odd that Jerome didn't bother with the 'original Aramaic'???
I don't believe your argument has an ounce of merit...
Not according to Scripture. At the Council at Jerusalem, James was the chief spokesman.
And Paul rebuked Peter for his hypocrisy in pulling back from the Gentile believers when the Jews were around.
Can’t show where the apostles taught the assumption of Mary or the requirement to believe it ey?
Great article, thanks. I’m sharing that one.
They just keep trying to dodge around the issue that their chosen religion claims to serve the same god as the Muslims don’t they.
