You've explained it all.

Catholics also have Sacred Tradition and the Magisterium to teach us the Good News about Salvation.

It appears to those outside of your denomination that the bible does not contain enough good news to get a person saved.


Matthew 28:19-20 kjv

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

You certainly didn’t explain a thing. So what specific quote is in error and why?

Apparently you can’t explain and substantiate protestant beliefs.

Just the opposite, Christ gave His Catholic Church the authority and tools to help all become holy and join God in Heaven.

Protestant heretic beliefs promise a false opportunity in “once save, always saved that is not biblical. Protestant beliefs of “sola scriptura” and “sola fides” are not biblical and many interpretations are contrary to God’s Word.

Why do the protestant religions ignore the Eucharist where the Real Presence of Jesus, divine and human is with us as we eat and drink His Body and Blood. So protestants ignore “20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”?

If one’s mind and faith is open to God’s Truth, they may find salvation upon their death.

Christ gave His Catholic Church

You keep repeating this circular logic; thinking that it sticks to the wall every time.

While you've gotten a lot of Prots to go along with you on this idea; there is nothing that shows it to be true.

You're eating a chunk of flour and a sip of wine.

"Do THIS in rememberence of me."

tools to help all become holy...

I hope you keep your tools sharp, as they lessen the work needed that way.

may?

May??

MAY??!!??!!


If one's brain is working and they are able to READ "God's truth", then they would KNOW that they 'have salvation' before they die.


[12] I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
[13] I write unto you, fathers, because you have known him, who is from the beginning.
       I write unto you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one.
[14] I write unto you, babes, because you have known the Father.
       I write unto you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and you have overcome the wicked one.
 
 
1 John 2:12-14 douay-rheims

Nice try, for one who cannot show any error between Prot beliefs and what the Book Rome gave the world teaches.

Only in your opinion based on man-made teachings.

Christ did not found 40,000 protestant churches 1500 years after his death.

Many are unwilling or unable to know God’s Truth.

Your comment: “Nice try, for one who cannot show any error between Prot beliefs and what the Book Rome gave the world teaches.”

While many protestants may continue to believe their man-made heretical theories, they do not know what the Catholic Church teaches and they make false claims (without any substantiation) or logic.

You need to read the rest of the story:

“Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.” Watch therefore, you know neither the day nor the hour Mt 25:12-13 Souls may prepare for their encounter with Christ (bridegroom) by loving God and neighbor (25:35-40), since those lacking good works will be shut out of Heaven’s banquet.

For many are called but few are chosen, Mt 22:14

Keep the commandments MT 19:16-22

Things that defile a man MT 15:20

On the day of judgement men will render account for every careless word they utter; for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned. Mt: 12:36

He who is not with me is against me: Mt 12:30

But he that endures to the end will be saved Mt 10:22

Thus the protestant view that “Once saved, always saved” is not biblical or God’s Truth. Interesting that the protestant translation “have known” indicates in the past, while the Catholic words are “know Him” in the present. When we die we need to know Him and love Him by our works.

I do hope that we will meet in Heaven.

So you mock holiness and Jesus that gave us many tools (Catholic Church, Sacraments, Eucharist His Love, His Blessed Mother, prayers, etc.)

Perhaps you should locate the tools that will help you instead of your false assumption of already being saved.

You mock Christ’s Body and Blood and His Word.

Jesus told us to eat and drink His Body and Blood. John 6

1. Lanciano, Italy

In the 8th century, a priest had doubts about the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. One day during Mass, after the consecration, the bread and wine turned visibly into flesh and blood. In 1970-’71 and again in 1981, a scientific investigation was led by the scientist Odoardo Linoli, professor of anatomy and pathological histology and in chemistry and clinical microscopy. He was assisted by Prof. Ruggero Bertelli of the University of Siena.

They concluded that the flesh is cardiac tissue which contains arterioles, veins, and nerve fibers. The blood type (in unison with all other approved Eucharistic miracles) was discovered to be type AB. According to Zenit, the “Higher Council of the World Health Organization (WHO) appointed a scientific commission to verify the Italian doctor’s conclusions. The work was carried out over 15 months with a total of 500 examinations… [and confirmed] science’s inability to explain the phenomenon.”

Your record keeps skipping.

Perhaps you can explain why seven churches (Catholic?) in Asia went off the rails even before John the Revelator died?

There you go again, babbling with ZERO evidence of your claim.

I guess when your embarrass bone got broken long ago; the doc failed to set it correctly.

Once again you miss the mark.

'Tis the RCC is mocked - with it's added stuff that are not required.
