The Biblical Basis for some Catholic Distinctives

[tyndale1946]

To clarrify, I am NOT bashing Catholics, as i see them walking in spiritual blindness, but am very against the official teachings/doctrines/dogmas of the Church of rome!

You said I see!... What does God see?... Brother Glen

The Church of Rome teaches that God saves us after we co operate enough with Him thru the Sacraments to be worthy/meriting the salvation, NOT the message of the scriptures!

Friend, I know that... remember I was a Roman Catholic for 34 years and many of my friends and family are still practicing Roman Catholics. My other side are mostly Welsh Calvinistic Methodists, Baptists and Congregationalist. I know very well the doctrines, services and peculiarities of of all...including my wife’s Presbyterian Church.

So you do know that they teach a false way to be saved, correct?

Let’s put it this way, my child died prior to being baptized by a Calvinistic Orthodox Presbyterian minister... I was told my child was probably in hell. Are they right?

My understanding would be that the Grace of God would be applied towards him by God to save Him!
He is not in Limbo, as unbaptized are suppossed to be!

How is Gods Grace derived?

As usual a truly malevolent distortion of the facts prompted by a dishonest refusal to carefully read either my own thread that refutes this claim or the posted interview with a former Baptist evangelist-turned- Catholic that refutes your simplistic Baptist understanding of the Gospel.

The simple Gospel is the pauline Justification , NOT the elaborate one dreamed up by Rome!

The Church of rome deniespauline Justification of the Gospel, so they themselves fall under "let them be accursed"

We are just trying to get them to admit that Rome teaches a false Gospel!

The gospel that the Catholic (Universal ) Church preaches is Christ crucified, so please stop lying about us. Jesus Christ, is the Savior of us all.

Those who constantly utter false witness against other Christians are "accursed" and are therefore guilty of grave sinfulness.

(2) The most recent and still ongoing Marian apparitions are happening in Medjugorje in Bosnia. They began in 1981 in still Communist Yugoslavia. The apparitions appeared to 6 very ordinary children. They and the Franciscans who supported them were quickly persecuted by the state. The posted BBC documentary on the origin of these Marian visions is the most spiritually powerful video I've ever seen. Viewing it reminded me of the awe, excitement, doubt, and desire to suppress in the confusion of that first Easter Sunday. The BBC documentary was created just a few years after the visions began:

As of yet, these particular "apparitions" have not been approved by the Church authorities, so one needs to be wary of the truthfulness of them.

They don’t need baptism to come to Jesus.

So why is baptism mentioned so many times in the Holy Scriptures?

See Matthew 7:1-5

Because it was a symbol of freedom and cleanliness and life.

We have become a militaristic people haven’t we. We require enemies so we can protect our boundaries and define ourselves. Our need of certitude outstrips Gods desire for brotherhood therefore we cannot live without negative energy, we cannot live in the realm of peace that Jesus announces, because the price of peace is nondenomination.
