Jesus also said, "This is eternal life, that you BELIEVE in Me". Salvation is through faith in Jesus and his work. There is only the blood of Jesus that washes sin away. A priest cannot wash sin away. Only FAITH in the blood of Jesus. Catholics for the most part don't know Scripture. Study the Epistles.Hardly ever hear the word "Saved" in the Catholic Church. "Redemption" and "Redeemed" are more in the Catholic vocabulary. And, of course, the familiar line of, "He is our life and our salvation." Eternal life is God's gift to us. We are on the path of that right now, and it will continue on into the afterlife. We follow The Way Jesus taught--discern the will of God and follow it/do it. That is the Way of Salvation. Jesus is the Way, so Jesus is our life and our Salvation. He redeemed us.Then tell me how Catholics are saved.
Whoever told you that they did? This is certainly not a Catholic belief, so where did you pick it up?A priest cannot wash sin away.
Catholics go through the entire Bible every three years. Once every year for those of us who attend daily Mass.Catholics for the most part don't know Scripture. Study the Epistles.

Doubtful. What do you know of the seven Sacraments?Catholics.

No, it's Scripture.Once again, telling people what they believe.Then you know that Salvation is by faith only, and only the blood of Jesus washes sin away.
.So you believe works remit sin? How does that work?.You believe in your own works for salvation. You're never going to be good enough. This is the problem with the catholic sect. This is why Luther broke away. The Bible clearly teaches that Salvation is through believing in Jesus, period. Works are good, yes. You will be rewarded, but your eternal life is in Christ, not works. This is where the Catholic church has gone off the rails.That option is unavailable to me.Find a church that teaches the Bible, not religion. If they act like Jesus freaks, it's a good thing usually. If they bring out the snakes after the first worship song, you're in the wrong church.
My dislike for the evangelical churches is intense, probably because of the thoughtless way they tell a Catholic like me that I'm an idolater who is going to hell.
Also, the concept that faith alone saves is a dangerous error because it discourages such notions as obeying the commandments and giving money to charity, and the concept that one is saved by one altar call is dangerous because it denies the truth that one's spiritual development is a struggle that ends only at the moment of death.
The Episcopalians are the outer limit of how far I'm willing to plunge into the Protestant world.
Their priests dress like Catholic priests, their Masses our similar to our Masses, and their Eucharist is the same as ours -- though illegitimate according to the Catholic Church.
The Episcopalians are, however, moral relativists who will openly admit they're not really sure if Christianity is true. For me, the idea of showing up to Mass every Sunday for a religion you're not sure of doesn't make any sense at all. Why not sleep in?
It seems that the purpose of Episcopalianism is to give fallen away Catholics a soft landing for awhile before arriving at the ultimate end of complete lack of belief. And then, after you do reach this state of non-belief, you are still welcome to attend Mass on Sunday and go on behaving as if you believe, with everyone knowing and accepting that you really don't.
And while it might be a comfort to many to attend familiar rituals in familiar surroundings, I am a person who must actually believe in what I'm doing and could never believe in the watered-down Catholicism of the Episcopalian Church.
.The Bible clearly teaches that Salvation is through believing in Jesus, period.
actually that may be what they wrote in the 4th century composing your book and when the christian bible no longer exists the forgeries and fallacies will disappear with it - not so the prescribed religion to triumph through works over sin to attain remission - will remain for eternity.
for those having sinned.
.So you believe works remit sin? How does that work?
The Seven Sacraments are centered around the Life of Christ and his ministry and emulate it. Those who know the Gospels should know the seven Sacraments. The only way they are not Biblical is if the Bible does not relate the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Do you not believe the Bible tells this story?It's not biblical.

Okay, I'm not Catholic, so I'm kinda confused as to why you have to completely give up your church and your religious belief system over this. Yes, I know the Catholic Church officially opposes divorce and remarriage. So does my church, but mine certainly isn't going to bar anyone from attending church over it.
The seven Sacraments have a Biblical base that center around the life and ministry of Christ. Catholics celebrate and live this.The seven Sacraments is a catholic doctrine, not a Christian Church doctrine.
Show me in the New Testament where this is taught as Church doctrine.The seven Sacraments have a Biblical base that center around the life and ministry of Christ. Catholics celebrate and live this.The seven Sacraments is a catholic doctrine, not a Christian Church doctrine.
Following Christ should not be part of Church doctrine? Hmmm.Show me in the New Testament where this is taught as Church doctrine.
So there is no Scripture in the New Testament that teaches the catholic seven sacraments. Hmmm.Following Christ should not be part of Church doctrine? Hmmm.Show me in the New Testament where this is taught as Church doctrine.
