This is why no one can talk to you. We are not talking about those verses in James. We are talking about James comment of faith and wors. vs Paul who said faith apart from works (faith alone)
And there’s
ANOTHER lie.
Paul
never talked about
“faith alone. In fact –
YOUR Protestant Father,
Martin Luther had to
ADD the word
“alone” to his German translation
Rom. 3:28 because it was
NOT there in the original verse.
The works that Paul wrote about were the works of the
LAW and of
self-righteousness.
He was
NOT talking about the works that
James was talking about – the works that
God Himself prepared for us in advance to do as Christians as
PART of our faith
(Eph. 2:10).
Therefore, I can learn from
BOTH Paul
AND James on the
same subject.
Your church is ALL about works. Works save you, they keep you saved, and if you do not do them, You lose salvation.
Where do I start?
Baptism, Eucharist, penance. Are you seriously going to say if you do not do these you can be saved?
Now – unless you are
willing and
able to show me this teaching from the
Catechism – we’ll just consider this yet another
LIE of yours. Cracks me up how
ALL of you
dishonest anti-Catholics
lie with impunity about what the Church teaches – yet you can
never seem to prove it from the Church’s
official teachings.
The Catholic Church does
NOT teach that we are saved
BY works – but that works are an
essential ingredient of faith.
Not sure why I have to keep repeating that to
“seemingly” intelligent people.
Oh, by the way – the
BIBLE tells us that you must be
Baptized in order to be
saved:
Mark 16:16
He who believes and is baptized will be SAVED;
Acts 2:37-38
Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and to the other apostles, "Brothers, what should we do?" Peter said to them, "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
1 Pet. 3:21
Baptism, which corresponds to this, now SAVES you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a clear conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ
lol.. Your stuck on History.
The jews made the same mistake. And look where it took them? They crucified Christ with all there history. They would have called Jesus a protestant.
You can have your history..
the word of God is able to make a man complete.
That's all we need to know.
The
history that I am showing you is
YOUR Protestant history.
We’re
NOT the ones who
rebelled against the Church in the
16th century –
YOUR Protestant Fathers did.
Now –
YOU and the rest adhere to their groundwork if
unbiblical doctrines like
Sola Scriptura and
Sola Fide – and their
edited version of Scripture, having
REMOVED 7 Books from the OT. Now, you all
continue to splinter into
divided factions whenever somebody decides that they
don’t like a certain interpretation – so they
splinter off into their own to the tune of
tens of thousands that exist today.
- Some believe in
baptismal regeneration, while others do
not.
- Some believe in
soul-sleep, while others do
not.
- Some believe in the
total depravity of man, while others do
not.
- Some believe in the
Holy Trinity, while others do
not.
- Some believe in doctrine of
“once saved, always saved”, while others do
not.
- Some believe in a pre-tribulation
“Rapture”, while others do
not.
- Some believe that only those who were
predestined will make it to
heaven, while others do
not.
- Some believe that some were
predestined for
hell, while others do
not.
- Some believe in a woman’s right to choose
abortion, while others do
not.
- Some believe that practicing
homosexuality is a sin, while others do
not.
- Most believe in
contraception, while others do
not – and the
confusion goes on.
That’s
their legacy and
YOURS –
not ours . . .[/QUOTE]
