Explain the statute in the Council of Trent where it says clearly that there is no salvation outside of the RCC.

Yes. It is an image of Christ, and RCC's often worship it.

Because of Mark 16: "They shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover".

I can't give you a Biblical answer, but in Wesley's journal there is an account of where his horse went lame as he was travelling from one preaching venue to another, and give him a headache with its uneven gait. At length he stopped, raised his eyes to heaven and prayed, and not only was he...

I recently attended a Requiem Mass for the mother of a family friend. The church had an enormous Christ on the cross on the wall behind the altar. Sort of like the big statues of Buddha in pagan temples. It was interesting that it depicted a European Jesus which shows that it was the...

The issue is that according to the official statutes of the RCC as shown in the Council of Trent, completely ratified by Vatican II, is that no one is saved except those in the RCC. Therefore, it doesn't matter how RCC members put a spin on it, they cannot believe that any Protestants can be...

If you'd never met him and got to know him, you wouldn't know, would you? You have every right not to believe that God can heal pet animals, but I don't think you can expect others to share your belief.

The problem is, that if you are committed to the beliefs of the RCC, then I am not your brother in Christ, because salvation comes only through the RCC and nowhere else. This is the official teaching of the RCC as shown in the Council of Trent and ratified at Vatican II. So, according to the...

The RCC has never changed its teaching and the teaching that there is no salvation outside of the RCC is still prominent on its books. I firmly believe that if the RCC ever became prominent and linked itself with the politics of the country, we will see all non-Catholics outlawed if they don't...

The RCC interpretation is abundantly clear, and it showed its true belief in the Middle Ages, when it burned anyone who would not accept its authority, even whole cities of 70,000 men, women and children who did not accept the authority of the pope of the time. So, it doesn't matter how you try...

I remember my pastor in the old days telling us about his small son who had a pet duck. It developed a sore on its back, so the little boy laid hands on his duck and the sore fell right off its back leaving no trace that it was there. So, it happens...

Oh! So if the RCC says in its official teaching that only RCCs are going to heaven, and all others are going to hell, then isn't the RCC including yourself, anti-nonCatholics? I think that is what is behind the acidic, acrimonious reactions to posts written here by non-Catholics. You are...

I couldn't help it. It hit my funny bone! :-)

Why don't you just come clean and let us all know that the only people, according to the clear official teachings of the RCC are RCC people will be saved, and all others will be damned to hell. That's what you really and honestly believe isn't it? Come on. Be truthful and come right out with it!

They can't deny that the official teaching of their church is that we will all go to hell except them. It is as clear as the noses on their faces. So, even though the Pope says that we are all brothers in Christ, he is telling an outright lie, because he wouldn't be the Pope if he didn't...

He'll get a bit of a rude shock when he dies and won't be in Paradise with the believers, but will be in the other place awaiting judgment.

It is now exactly 10:30am. Daylight saving time finished Saturday night.

The Scripture says that one must believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, repent, and be baptised in order to be saved. So, small babies who are baptised can't believe Christ, can't repent of their sins, so their baptism means nothing. It is just an empty ceremony. They are just baptised...

The fact that you are resorting to abuse and accusation shows that you have no real answer and are instead trying to discredit those who are giving Scripture-based answers to the issue. That's what the RCC did in the Middle Ages. They set up the stake, got the firewood, and used fire to shut...

Yes. We all need to walk before God and be perfect. That is what the Scripture says. But it is the perfect Christ in us, and His righteousness given to us as a gift that makes us perfect in God's sight. Because we are in Christ, God sees us a perfect, even though when we view ourselves we...
