Wow....you are truly lucky. And very confusing
Not at all luck: God Says HE HATES IT when His People call on lady luck.

Confusing* ? Everything true is confusing to the blind, right ? The GOSPEL is the stench of death to those perishing - they hate it,
and
the SAME GOSPEL, the SAME WORDS< THE AROMA OF LIFE ! RESURRECTION LIFE !!! > to all who are saved in Christ Jesus !


*confusing: your posts look sometimes as if they are coming from different people. (not just from your false teachings or false teachers) but different people with different attitudes.....

Can't help you then.
It is clearly posted.

(are you just one person, or more than one using one account name? )
I’m gonna guess...since you didn’t answer....that you don’t agree with Luther. But you believe he was not condemned. Oh see the conundrum you are in?

Multiple times in multiple post you said men don’t judge; God does. But you then judged Luther??? AND you repeatedly judge me and my fellow Catholics. There is a name for people like you....

And the comedy show continues
You think this is funnY ?!
The Sin of Unbelief  -  C. H. Spurgeon


"But to conclude. I think I see you in some part of hell,

tied to a rock,

the vulture of remorse gnawing at your heart;......

And while you lie there, if there is one thing in hell worse than another, it will be seeing the saints in heaven.
.....in heaven while I am cast out! Oh, sinner, only think,

to see your brother in heaven--he who was rocked in the same cradle as you, and played in the same house-

-yet you are cast out.

.....I beg you, my listeners, by the death of Christ--by his agony and bloody sweat--by his cross and passion--by all that is holy--by all that is sacred in heaven and earth--by all that is solemn in time or eternity--

by all that is horrible in hell, or glorious in heaven--by that awful thought, “forever,”--

I beg you to take these to heart, and remember that if you are damned,
it will be unbelief that damns you.
If you are lost, it will be because you did not believe in Christ;
and if you perish, this will be the bitterest part of it all--that you did not trust in the Savior. Amen.

"Ekklesia"
Speaking God's Words as God Says, as Jesus says, in line with all that is written.

vs false teachers, those who use false lessons from men, traditions opposed to God.

Multiple times in multiple post you said men don’t judge; God does. But you then judged Luther??? AND you repeatedly judge me and my fellow Catholics. There is a name for people like you....

As far as everyone knows, he is /was/ saved by faith through grace, a gift from God.

What conundrum ?

You have a false faith, in teachings from false teachers, exposed by Martin Luther, and by thousands of others for centuries.

God clearly, in line with all Scripture, hates unbelief. He says those who are condemned because of their unbelief,

might be saved if they turn to Him in faith..... thus no one can boast - it is by faith, not of works, so no man may boast.

Seek Him. Turn away from sin and seek Him.

Your prayers only hurt yourself and hurt others, so do not pray for anyone.

Do you think it wise to stand in the place of the accuser of the brethren?
You and your group call everyone non-catholic dead, as if unbelievers. Contrary to God's Word.

God says otherwise. So it is BEST ALWAYS , to learn from heaven like Martin Luther says he did, and he was saved by grace through faith.

Instead of staying condemned because of a false gospel and false teachings from men or lower.

i.e. your own words and unbelief is what judges you , ACCORDING TO GOD'S WORD .

faith only is not legalistic, it is someone sitting still because they have become poor in spirit, and letting god Save them

More precisely, it's cafeteria Christianity. "Faith only' people legalistically decided that faith is required, but reject God's word, saying that one is justified by works and faith.

God's way is faith and works. They prefer to do it their own way.

You have not shown anyone who believes that so far, other than unbelievers, and they cannot comprehend anything spiritual or true, according to God's Word.

"The Church knows that she is joined in many ways to the baptized who are honored by the name of Christian, but do not profess the Catholic faith in its entirety or have not preserved unity or communion under the successor of Peter."322 Those "who believe in Christ and have been properly baptized are put in a certain, although imperfect, communion with the Catholic Church."323 With the Orthodox Churches, this communion is so profound "that it lacks little to attain the fullness that would permit a common celebration of the Lord's Eucharist."

You can find that here: Catechism of the Catholic Church - IntraText

Perhaps you should learn a little morw about us before you say such things...

Peace!

Martin Luther, Charles Chiniquoy, Keith Green, and other saved from the errors, all made it clear, what they learned by grace from the Father in heaven,
and exposing the anti-Scripture teachings from rome.
It would not help anyone to read the anti-Scripture teachings for any reason, especially as if to support the anti-Scripture teachings.

Everyone who says "faith only." If you don't, you're not one of them.

I don't think "faith only" people are unbelievers; they are just selective about what parts of God's word they are willing to believe.

Martin Luther wanted the Book of James removed from the Bible, correctly arguing that it contradicted his new doctrine of "faith only."

Luther made an attempt to remove the books of Hebrews, James, Jude and Revelation from the canon (notably, he perceived them to go against certain Protestant doctrines such as sola gratia and sola fide) but his followers did not generally accept Luther's personal judgment in this matter. However, these books are ordered last in the German-language Luther Bible to this day.
Luther's canon - Wikipedia

Luther removed seven books from the canon of Scripture: Tobit, Judith, 1st and 2nd Maccabees, Wisdom, Sirach and Baruch, as well as sections from the books of Esther and Daniel. He tried unsuccessfully to also remove James and Revelation, both of which included certain texts which disproved his theology.

But the version of the Old Testament which was used at the time of Christ — and which Jesus himself would have used in the Synagogue — was the Septuagint. This version of the Bible included the seven books which Luther removed, called the Deuterocanonical books. It was the version of the Old Testament which was used by the New Testament authors and by all Christians during the first century A.D.

The false expectation that exposing someone else's sin or error makes other sins and errors (which are worse) okay.

You get caught spreading a falsehood, and rather than a retraction, this is your response?

Grow up man..

Peace!
