    So, in the end, if our good deeds outweigh our evil deeds we can enter into heaven? A simple yes or no will suffice, thank you.

    Well, I am not simple because God is not. I will give you a YES with a complexity. This has to do with sin (Unintentional) and sin which leads to death (intentional) meaning when one knows the truth and has been taught the truth and rejects it out of pride.

    Speaking for Christians- of silver , and gold quality, they, if they unintentionally sin are granted a grace when they die, in that they have embraced Christ as their savior and they have directed people to Christ, but they themselves do not realize they may only be silver, and therefore, have dross ( some errors in doctrine). Gold has some dross. Silver? .....you may be.

    But if starting now, you accept the error of your ways and repent , you can be made a precious gem. That would require rejecting all the falsehood doctrine you have believed in and/or put out there .By repenting, and preaching only truth you will be saved and will move up in quality.

    Effective Prayer1 John 5:15-17
    …15And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we already possess what we have asked of Him. 16If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he should ask God, who will give life to those who commit this kind of sin. There is a sin that leads to death; I am not saying he should ask regarding that sin. 17All unrighteousness is sin, yet there is sin that does not lead to death.…

    The sin that does not lead to death is unintentional sin. You can no longer claim that now ,for you have been shown the full truth.
    The Choice of Life or Death Deuteronomy 30:18-20
    …18I declare to you today that you will surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess. ( Jordan means flow down or descent you are called to cross over and not fall into the descent)19I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you today that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. So choose life, so that you and your descendants may live, 20and that you may love the LORD your God, OBEY HIM, and hold fast to Him. For He is your life, and He will prolong your life in the land the LORD swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”…

    Rejecting your admonishment will result in you being down graded to being completely hay wood and straw. Those in know have no excuses. BIG LIFE DECISION for you. Hay, wood and straw do not have Christ within them, and have no faith therefore no Grace or Mercy.

    Let me help you.

    Run from your religion of dead works and allow yourself to be broken on the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is through the veil of His flesh and what He was given as a result of my Father Raising Him from the Dead that brings to us forgiveness and Salvation. The presence of God has been restored to us through the Lord Jesus Christ. This is available by the grace of God through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Turn from your wicked religion of self-righteous works and flee to Christ!

    HMM, opinion with not one stitch of scripture to back you up. Plus rejecting half the scripture to support your false narrative???
    I will not descend from my position. Let God deal with you!

    The hay that thinks its Christian:
    Matthew 7:21-23
    I Never Knew You
    21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. (OBEYS ALL HIS SON'S DECREES FROM THE LEAST OF THEM TO THE GREATEST AND TEACHES THEM ALL AS GREAT)22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
    Coat tail riders who only use His name but are not in Him. Your work is of demons and is to bring glory to your diluted false doctrine and your own name and the worship of your demons your praise is from men , not God. John 12:4343For they loved praise from men more than praise from God. The Word of the Lord, Thanks be to God.

    Have at it!

    Wisdom Calls Aloud Proverbs 1:25-27
    …25because you neglected all my counsel, and wanted none of my correction, 26in turn I will mock your calamity; I will sneer when terror strikes you, 27when your dread comes like a storm, and your destruction like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish overwhelm you.…

    In the areas that we fully agree with what the scriptures teach, yes we would be!
    We would teach the real Gospel of Christ Jesus....

    Paul mentions going down into/under the water, and then being brought back up, and that would be immersion, not sprinkling!

    IF you really were into addressing false doctrines, would be using the Bib le to refute the false doctrines and dogmas of the Church of Rome!

    Both churches cannot be teaching the same Gospel, as they contradict each other in that!

    I was infant Baptized against my will in the Catholic Church by a Catholic Priest, but never took Eucharist or Communion or whatever they call it. Do they still consider me Catholic?

    Is Baptizing a child against his will considered child abuse?

    Revelation 22:17 (KJV) And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

    I am not aware that the Roman rite immerses babies. The Orthodox rite do. In any case, if it is not immersion it is not baptism. And it is not believer's baptism.

    Hello Walter,
    It has plenty of factual information that is exactly correct. Having been raised RC. I was shocked to discover many of those things .Much of church teaching is not found in scripture.
    Certainly popes fathering child out of wedlock was not a biblical concept.
    Purgatory, saints, Mary as co mediatrix,priests, saints, indulgences, rosary beads scapular, stations of the cross,God parents,etc...are you sure about your statement my friend?

    The Church taught correctly on the trinity. The works gospel is where much damage occurs. I sometimes think some will read a bible and God will deal with with them despite the church.

    No....you would have had your first holy communion as they call it at seven yrs old. Confirmation at 12 yrs old.

    Read the Catechism of the Catholic Church. You will see teachings absolutely grounded in God's holy word. And, btw, you think evangelical pastors don't have children out of wed-lock?
