Salvation is NOT defined by the fact that you are Protestant and I am Catholic. It is clearly defined in Scripture - which illustrates a lifelong process, not a one-time event. This is why wew read in Acts: Acts 2:47 And the Lord added to their number daily those who were BEING saved. If you...

The "crown jewel" of the Church is Sunday worship?? Uhhhhh - you don't have the slightest understanding of the Catholic Church. If there is a "crown jewel" - it is the Eucharist - the Body, Blood, Soul and Divininty of our Lord. As for Sunday worship - this is a bizarre obsession with you...

AGAIN - I never said that we can "save ourselves". I have repeatedly stated that the works that are an essential element of true faith belong to GOD, who created the FOR us to to. And you have repeatedly misrepresented my position. As long as you keep doing that - we can't have an honest...

Once again - we will ne judged by our works (Rom. 2:6, 2 Cor. 5:10) - whether we cooperated with God's grace or whether we chose our own will over His. It's our cooperation with His grace that counts - not any works of our own.

TRANSLATION: "I have NO valid response for your Biblical explanation of the importance Christ's Church - so a snarky comment will have to do." that's what I thought . . .

This is why I always warn you guys that Scriptural cherry-picking won't work. Eph. 2:8 does NOT say that works have "nothing" to do with salvation. It says that any works from OURSELVES don''t count towards salvation. But, as I have explained about half-dozen times bow - they are not "OUR"...

And your total confusion exists because of the fact that you don't understand what Christ's Church IS. - The Church is the Body of Christ and He is the Head (1 Cor. 12:12-31, Eph. 4:3-6, Col. 1:8). - Jesus is Truth itself (John 14:6). The Church is the Pillar and Foundation of Truth (1 Tim...

Not at all - just do your homework before you create these moronic anti-Catholic threads.

Thank you for yet another in a LONG list of "non-answers" to the question.

That's NOT what Jesus said . . . Matt. 7:21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but ONLY THE ONE WHO DOES THE WILL OF MY FATHER who is in heaven. Again - you are misrepresenting the Catholic position for the sake of argument. The Works that are an...

There you go talking about the Law again. The Law was fulfilled by Christ (Matt. 5:17). James is NOT talking about salvation through the Law - but through FAITH. He just happens to define WHAT true faith actually is: Belief + Works = FAITH (James 2:14-26, Gal 5:6, 1 Cor. 13:1-13, Matt. 25:31-46).

And blind hatred of the Catholic church doesn't cut the mustard when it comes to Biblical prophecy. In fact - it doesn't even open the jar . . . You have TOO much to to deal with here: - Jesus wasn't crucified in the Vatican OR in Rome. He was crucified in Jerusalem. - NEITHER the Vatican OR...

AMEN.

This is all out of YOUR head and not Scripture. Remember what James 2:25 said when comparing Abraham to Rahab: And in the same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? Rahab was justified by what she DID - in...

Most reputable NON-Catholic scholars agree that the "Whore" of Babylon is not only NOT the Catholic Church as YOU ignorantly assert - but that it is apostate Jerusalem. Scripture backs this up more than ANY other idiotic, anti-Catholic theory. 1. She "sits on 7 HILLS" (Rev. 17:9) - Vatican...

I see you've got your moronic anti-Catholicism working in overdrive again. Your statement above is absolute nonsense to anybody who understands the religions of the world. It might interest you to know that there are religions that are MUCH older than Christianity - so how can the Catholic...

Semantics. I'll show "YOU" is the same as saying, I'll show God. We show GOD our faith our response to the grace He gives us to believe. Works of faith are NOT the same as works of the Law. The Law was almost impossible to keep. It was meant to be that way to show us that we need god's grace...

I gotta disagree with you here. Eph. 2:8-10 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand...

That's NOT what James is saying in chapter 2. James is talking about the obedience of faith that we must have as Christians - the SAME obedience of faith that Paul s talks about in Rom. 1:5, 16:26. We must deal with our sin - but that's NOT what's being talked about here. James 2:14-26 is ALL...

James compares the works of the harlot Rahab having justified her in the sight of God - just as the works of Abraham justified him. There was NO other point where Rahab was considered "righteous" or was justified - prior to doing God's will. James 2:21, 25 Was not Abraham our father justified...
