Valid priesthood and seven sacraments. All you folks have is an empty cross for an empty religion.

Jesus is risen and He is all we need.

The empty cross means that He died and our sins have been paid for.

Him still hanging there means there’s no salvation as it has not been finished yet.

That’s just what Satan wants people to believe so that they can continue in trusting in working their way there instead of trusting in the risen, gloried Christ.

Ah, verga...

No priesthood as a New Testament office.
No sacraments that give grace or contribute to salvation.

An empty cross alone?? Hardly.

Christians have an empty tomb because we have a resurrected Christ.
Christians have an ascended and glorified Christ.
Christians have their sins forgiven.
Christians have a new nature.
Christians have the Life of Christ living inside them.
Christians are sealed and indwelt by the Holy Spirit.
Christians are “seated in the heavenlies” with Christ - ready to be revealed when He is.
Christians are baptized into the Body of Christ by the Holy Spirit.
Christians are the Bride of Christ, awaiting the marriage feast of the Lamb!
Christians will be glorified with Him.
Christians will rule with Him.

That is just the tip of the iceberg! Praise be to God!

And all this through Christ, regardless of denomination.

“Thanks be to God for His indescribable Gift!!”

Valid priesthood and seven sacraments.

What does ROME provide that is Necessary for Salvation that the Bible failed to deliver?
