Have you committed a mortal sin and not been to confession yet? Will you go the Heaven or Hell? The rcc says the later. What if you've committed enough venial sins that have now added up to be mortal, but you don't know you've crossed the line...what do you do????
Tell you what....you keep catholicism....I'll stay with Christ.
As Christians we have direct access to Him.
If we confess our sins to Him they are forgiven. But even better, they were forgiven the moment we believed in Him as His Word tells us. That forgiveness continues to this day in the life of the believer.
The Christian has been sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise Who is given as a pledge of our inheritance.
I find no passage in the NT where it says we are ever unsealed. In fact, Jesus says He will not lose any who have been given to Him by the Father.
Jesus loves us.
All of these are Biblically based.
Now, for the catholic, you're counting on Mary to intercede for you. No Biblical proof she is doing this. And please, don't cite the wedding at Cana to justify this belief as that is not even what the text is about.
You're counting on Mary, a limited created person, to be able to handle all of your prayers, to "put in a good word" for you., etc. In no capacity is she ever described in the Bible as being able to do this.
There is a better way. Follow Christ.
As Peter said in Acts 2:21, "and it shall be that every one who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
I hope the ignorance that's just been displayed by that paragraph is invincible. How can you write something like that and expect any Catholic to take you seriously when you offer your opinions about the Catholic Church? If you're so completely wrong on that subject (and you are) then how can you be believed on any other?
My kids can answer those questions... sheesh.
A mortal sin requires three conditions: The object is grave matter. It is committed with full knowledge. It is done with deliberate consent.
Nobody is accidentally going to hell. Nobody who dies on the way to Confession is going to hell because of some freak accident. God is not looking for ways to send us to hell, He's pulled out all the stops to make attaining Heaven dead simple. Love Him, that's what we're made for. Love Him more than you love yourself and you're headed for glory.
