Not. Even. Close. I'm Catholic...and yet I believe that non-Catholics...even ATHEISTS can be saved. Put THAT in yer pipe and SMOKE it... Like I asked earlier, what "laws" and "rules" are you talking about?

This is pretty much the only part of your post I want to address. As to the "laws of the church", what "laws" are you talking about?

Your example was this: "So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are UNPROFITABLE servants: we have done that which was our duty to do." - Jesus ...which has nothing to do with "faith ALONE." WE don't get to decide what makes us acceptable in...

Do you understand that not EVERYONE who claims to become a "Christian" is actually a Christian? I can claim all day long that I accepted Christ...and go on sinning. Dissect Cor 5:17. There are certain 'elements' to it. The first is "IF." The second is "be in Christ." What does it mean to...

So, you're telling me that you CAN'T find one sentence in the Bible that says we are saved by faith ALONE. Actually, is one sentence in the Bible where 'faith' and 'alone' are used together. James 2:24. When Paul wrote to the Ephesians, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not...

Can you find me one sentence where the Bible says "Faith ALONE" will get ya into heaven? Ever think that he DID hate Jews? What did Jews do that was so "hateful"? Oh, stop with Luther. Funny how you guys criticize the Pope, but conveniently forget that your own "god" is Martin Luther...

Apparently, Christ's teaching about the Good Samaritan means nothing to you, because hey...that's about 'works'. Obviously, WORKS are important.

What does what I asked has ANYTHING to do with the Pope? And what will YOU do if you find out that salvation was by faith AND works...and you have no works to show your faith?

Sorry Robert, but are you ignorant on purpose? What I wrote has NOTHING to do with "workS" but WORK. No, Hebrews 4:9 says, "There remains therefore a sabbath rest for the people of God." Nothing about WORKS. Get your scriptures straight, and get an understanding of what the RCC believes...

Ohhh, so you APPROVE of some drunk who wanted to ADD to the bible in saying that we're justified by faith ALONE. He wanted to ADD the word ""alone". You can believe in ONE man, Jesus, OR one man, Martin Luther. Who you gonna believe?

You are correct in this regard. You are NOT correct in your interpretation. It's not about "rest", it's not about religion, and it's not about "works" as YOU see 'works.' Heb. 4:9 has been translated by MANY to include the word "sabbath" BEFORE the word 'rest.' Start from Heb. 4:4: "For...

You mean...*YOUR* limited interpretation of scriptures. So glad that *my* God isn't as punitive as *your* god.

And THAT'S where you're wrong. He never said that's "ALL" we had to do. You seem to think that "believing" is more academic than action. That all you gotta do is SAY you "believe" and "THINK" you believe. But as for practicing that belief, well...you...along with some others...seem to fall by...

How about doing what Christ taught us to do?

Wow. L.A.M.B. What I underlined really speaks to me. Thank you for that. :vgood:

And just HOW do you know WHO is "lost"?

LOL! Yeah...that's why in Catholic churches world-wide, the GOSPEL is preached EVERY. DAY. And, by the way...the GOSPEL to Catholics...and others...is the FOUR BOOKS of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Today's readings were from Mal 1:14b-2;2b, 8-10, 1 Thes 2:7b-9, 13, and the GOSPEL...

BIIIIG difference between "proselytizing" and proselytizing based on *your* interpretations. YOURS...or Christ's? Well...you MIGHT be right. Especially if you're so RIGID in your own beliefs that you can't see that God and Jesus is about MERCY. Seems that the god YOU pray to is different...

Oh STOP already with your proselytizing. Doesn't do MOST people any good to hear about YOUR "opinion" about what Christ wants...what Christ believes... what Christ says. What in the world causes you to believe that I DON'T ALREADY read the Bible or that I don't ALREADY do some "serious...

Which means, ab-so-lutely-NOTHING about "Catholics" Seriously, SOME of you seem to use whatEVER thread is available to *bash* Catholics. The sad part is, that MOST of you have NO IDEA what Catholicism is all about. You're basing your judgements on what you've "heard" and/or read... ...by...
