    The Gospel!! What is it?

    I have been studying the historical Gospel of Jesus Christ and all that it calls into question for over 50 years. I have read the writings of many prominent Christian scholars concerning the Gospel and justification by faith. The Gospel concerns Jesus Christ, his life, his death, his...

    Why the Law and the Commandments Have Been Abolished

    Under the New Covenant Christians are called to live by faith, faith in Christ and his Gospel, Romans 1:17. Not by laws, rules or commandments. When Jesus died on the cross, God tore the veil that covered the "Holy of Holies" from the top to the bottom, Matthew 27:51. This signified the end...

    JUSTIFICATION: Catholic Vs. Protestant Part #2

    I am just giving you some facts about the book of James. You need to check out the facts to see if they are true. This is what I did and sure enough they were true. The only works that are in the Gospel is the work that Jesus did in our name and on our behalf, that saves and justifies us. All...

    JUSTIFICATION: Catholic Vs. Protestant Part #2

    The book of James was not addressed to Gentile Christians, it was addressed to law keeping Jews, James 1:1. Many Christian scholars believe that the book of James should not have been included in the Canons. Paul had a couple of problems with James. James was the head of the church in...

    JUSTIFICATION: Catholic Vs. Protestant, Part #3

    "Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" Romans 5:1. We have peace with God because this is God's way of justification. The Catholic church teaches that it is faith plus works and not by faith alone. They don't say what or how much work it...

    JUSTIFICATION: Catholic Vs. Protestant Part #2

    Its good that you have been born again, but that is not the Gospel. It is the Gospel of the Catholic church and is a false Gospel. Very few Christians understand the Gospel and justification by faith apart from the works of the law. Jesus did not come into the world to show us the way. Jesus...

    JUSTIFICATION: Catholic Vs. Protestant Part #2

    All religions have one thing in common. They all believe that they are saved and justified by their changed lives. I call it "The false Gospel of the new birth". There are multitudes of people that believe that this is what saved them. Ask any religious person what is the basis for your...

    JUSTIFICATION: Catholic Vs. Protestant Part #2

    Many Protestants are more Catholic than they are Protestants. The Gospel refutes all holiness religions because the Gospel is about how Jesus justifies the ungodly and reconciles them unto God, Romans 3:26. Holiness religions are trying to do in their flesh what God has ALREADY done in Jesus...

    JUSTIFICATION: Catholic Vs. Protestant Part #2

    No one can be saved if they don't embrace the "Historical Gospel" of Jesus Christ and justification by faith apart from the works of the law. Catholics have perverted the word "Grace". They believe that grace means something that God does in the life of the believer that makes him pleasing to...

    JUSTIFICATION: Catholic Vs. Protestant Part #2

    Being crucified with Christ is not our choice. When Jesus died on the cross all of humanity died with him. God literally put the whole Adamic race to death in Jesus Christ. When Jesus walked out of Josephs new tomb our new humanity walked out with him. All that have faith in Christ are a part...

    JUSTIFICATION: Catholic Vs. Protestant Part #2

    Catholicism is a holiness religion. The salvation of the Catholic is based upon his performance. Council of Trent, Canon #19. "If anyone says that nothing besides faith is commanded in the Gospel, that other things are indifferent, neither commanded nor forbidden, but free; or that the ten...

    JUSTIFICATION: Catholic Vs. Protestant, Part #1

    What sins? God sees me as perfect and complete in Christ, Colossians 2:10. Unfortunately, you are not there.

    JUSTIFICATION: Catholic Vs. Protestant Part #2

    Jesus is God's justifier. "To declare, I say, at this time HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS: that he might be just, and the justifier of him that believes in Jesus" Romans 3:26. And who does Jesus justify? Jesus justifies the ungodly, "But to him that does no works (religion) but believes on him that...

    JUSTIFICATION: Catholic Vs. Protestant, Part #1

    Religious people are big into testimonies, because they believe that salvation is all about them. It is not about us, it is about Jesus Christ, His life, His death, His resurrection. You believe that Jesus came into the world to show you the way. Jesus is the way, John 14:6.

    JUSTIFICATION: Catholic Vs. Protestant, Part #1

    You seem to believe that salvation is all about you. Your works, your obedience, your piety, you, you, you. This is very typical of a lost religious person. The Pharisees also believed that it was all about them. Catholics believe that it is all about them and their religion. Jesus said, "Many...

    JUSTIFICATION: Catholic Vs. Protestant, Part #1

    I am not concerned about sin, because God sees me as perfect and complete "In Christ" Colossians 2:10. In Jesus Christ I have ALREADY been justified, sanctified and redeemed, 1 Corinthians 1:30. You are trying to do in your flesh what God has ALREADY done in Jesus Christ. I have ALREADY been...

    When should you get baptized?

    Baptism is nothing more than a public profession of one's faith in Christ. It adds nothing, absolutely nothing to your salvation. The thief on the cross was not baptized.

    JUSTIFICATION: Catholic Vs. Protestant, Part #1

    Our holiness is totally and completely outside of us and is only found in the person of Jesus Christ who is our substitute and representative. Your personal holiness smells like filthy rags. "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all of our righteousness are as FILTHY RAGS; and we all do fade...

    JUSTIFICATION: Catholic Vs. Protestant, Part #1

    What you are practicing is Old Covenant theology. The Old Covenant of laws, rules and religion has been abolished, Ephesians 2:15 also, Colossians 2:14. This is why Paul said, "The just (justified) shall live by faith" Romans 1:17. It is not possible for you to live by faith alone because you...
