    Is there salvation outside the Catholic Church?

    Hello illini, I'm curious, have you examined what we teach, believe and live, and rejected it? Or are you just taking someone elses assertions about what we believe to make that accusation? What 'other way' to God do you think we preach? Peace be with you! Christ IS risen! Alleluia!

    Is there salvation outside the Catholic Church?

    Gnostics may have been the first to bastardize the deposit of faith and abandon the comunnity of the apostles but they certainly werent the last. I find it truly astonishing how many of the heresies long since repudiated are rearing their ugly heads these days... Signs of the times... Peace...

    Is there salvation outside the Catholic Church?

    Hello Willie, Your 'belief' that Catholicism is 'just another denomination' is immaterial to the truth or falsehood of that statement. They went out from us, but they were not really of our number; if they had been, they would have remained with us. Their desertion shows that none of them...

    Is there salvation outside the Catholic Church?

    Hello aspen, To answer the thread title question: No, but Jesus alone knows who is and who is not a member of the one holy catholic and apostolic Church. There's an old Orthodox saying that I like very much: ' one can say with assurance where the Church is, but not where it not.' Peace be...

    Loving Jesus enough to obey Him ensures salvation

    And yet 'the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he' So then, if we ask our Father for the gifts of faith and the Holy Spirit for our children, HE will do it! And the Comforter will come and live in them. Peace be with you!

    Why do you believe?

    Hello Vince, I can't remember a time when I didn't believe in God. He was always there... Sometimes I didnt listen to Him, sometimes I argued with Him,..for along time I told Him to leave me be and ignored Him... And once I got very very mad at Him and turned my back on Him.... But in the...
