Be convinced with these 4 biblical truths: 1. Each of us has sinned; 2. God is just, requiring a punishment for sin; 3. But out of love God sent His Son, Jesus Christ who by dying on the cross, provided forgiveness of sins in taking man’s deserved punishment; 4. Therefore, by faith alone in Christ’s sacrifice for our sins and belief in His resurrection, man can gain eternal life. (Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 10:9-10, Romans 3:21-26) Read more at https://teleiosresearch.com/salvation-explanation/.
Oh sure, but we’ll see if from afar and it won’t have any impact on us one way or the other.
Being a member of any specific church has nothing to do with Salvation. It has everything to do with biblical truth....Sola Scriptura.
I’m curious.
How does a person know if they’ve done enough works?
(7T 14)
(8T 302 – 1904)
WHUT?
You are very close to catching on to the Plan!
Uh; what were their names? (Other than sinless Mary; of course)
Can't you read Sanskrit?
Mother of the Bride?
Is Heaven Paradise?
Paradise opened up to Heaven didn’t it?
Post Resurrection? You stirring up the pudding again Elsie :)
John the Baptist..
Until he doubted Jesus while in prison.
Museum of the Bible. It’s in Washington Dc I think
Quote #1: "Today you will be with me in Paradise."
Quote #2: "Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father:"
Now then; just WHERE is this 'paradise' located??
I never knew it existed!
Is this the same location that Paul talks about in 2 Corinthians 12:4?
Tell me.
Depends...
Is 'Heaven' the same as the third heaven?
What is heaven #2 like?
I'm SO confused now!!!
Wait until you get a load of Xenu. I think it's just for Scientologists though but maybe one of them will invite you for a bbq or something.
You got me!
Your comment: “My point once again was that Jesus would NOT have permitted His Apostles to continue in His company had they wallowed in the same perversions as your church’s hierarchy did and does.”
Perhaps you are right, but we don’t know. Again, it is just your personal opinion. My sense of Jesus is that he would deal with sinners but not force them to leave Him and they would probably reject Jesus and leave on their own. You do not know the effect Judas had on the general Jewish population, perhaps more would have followed Christ.
I am sorry for you that you do not see God’s truth in the Catholic faith and yet you may have anger against catholic sinners and a “cult” behind a cloud of works.
To me, you reject Christ when you reject His Catholic Church, His Sacraments and His words of salvation. (Luke 10:16 ; John 12:48-50) To me, when you left the Catholic faith, you embraced heretical doctrines that disagrees with God’s Word.
I believe that one can have a positive relationship with God as long as they do not reject His words and follow false teachers.
For a Catholic that rejects the Catholic Church, there is no salvation outside of the Catholic Church CCC 846-847. I do believe that Christ founded His Catholic Church to help all in our process toward eternal life, and for those outside the CC the process is more difficult.
My understanding is the God is upset with the rejection of His Good News by mankind (including many Catholics) by their sins and is going to give us soon a warning that we will see our souls. This will be a great act of Mercy so that many will not lose their souls. We have the opportunity to repent, confess and change our ways, but God will not force us. It is our choice.
Currently for the last 500 years, Satan has influenced the world towards Communism and secularization and split the Christians into multiple groups with different doctrines and many do not participate in the Mass, Sacraments and prayer.
I pray for the conversion of sinners and that all Catholics will return to the Catholic faith.
That's rather distressing news.
