I'm not going to criticize my brothers and sisters. I grew up learning Catholicism going to a parochial elementary school. There are good people there even though misguided. They accomplished a lot of good works and probably have raised the most money.
The sight of possible good works does not take away the facts that they teach and serve a non existent trinity god, misleading all listening into breaking Gods #1 commandment on a daily basis. I surely would not want to be standing there.
Now, you're just making assertions which mean nothing. You can't back anything up.
Second, it's not about works, but being saved. Once you are saved, then you are always saved. It's OSAS. Being saved involves faith. And this leads to good works, so works is involved, but just works does not save you.
Instead of arguing that which you do not understand, you should have faith first. Then, you have taken the first step to a journey of a lifetime and life forever after.
Not one is saved until they endure until their end, Jesus said-Matt 10:22--Endure living now to do Jesus Fathers will, over self.--No mortal has a right to assure another they are saved or born again-its100% lie--they do not know. Then they ask for a tithe.
Jesus blood and death paid our debt. It was the greatest sacrifice in the history of the universe. I do not doubt the power of Jesus. He is the Savior. He saved us all. Yet, we are all not saved. The Bible teaches that once you are saved through the power of Jesus, you are forever saved. If not, then you weren't saved to begin with.
There are many things most cannot understand without being taught by the teachers who have Jesus.
Acts 3:19--Repentence gets sin blotted out. If Jesus paid everyones sin they wouldn't have to die, yet all do. But at Har-mageddon. Many( great multitude) will be brought through on earth( Prov 2:21-22, Matt 24:22) never having to taste death. Then no matter where one stands. Gods kingdom rule will be the only ruling power in existence( Dan 2:44) so on earth( Matt 5:5) is where the great multitude stand before the throne. They will not go to heaven-Rev 14:3--144,000 are BOUGHT from the EARTH. to heaven. The bride of Christ= the little flock( Luke 12:32) not the great multitude( Psalm 37:9-11,29)
Jesus paid for everyone's sin, but that doesn't mean they will enter heaven. Thus, we all die as God commanded after Adam's fall. Afterward, one still has to deal with spiritual death versus spiritual living. This will already be predestined once you die.
