Re: Catholics' View on Jesus and the Church
You don't seem to realize that you and I have both done exactly the same thing—namely, each of us has examined various religious options, examined the scriptures, and reached our own personal conclusions as to which system to embrace. It is clear that, in confronting the claims of Catholicism, Morm...

Re: Catholics' View on Jesus and the Church
When are you going to show me wrong by trying prove that the Roman Catholic Church is the ONLY true church which has continued from its establishment by Christ to the present? If you don't do so soon, then we shall have to assume that you are unable to do so. For someone who claims to not want a de...

Re: Catholics' View on Jesus and the Church
The Church...is an institution created by Jesus and given the grace to not be led astray from the Truth. I am not sure why you believe this, but, if it is true, then the Roman Catholic Church is not the church of which you speak, since it has not been providentially kept from straying from the trut...

Re: Salvation: 1 The Formula
Reply to Jon As a Roman Catholic do you believe I'm not saved? Why would I need to find my way home if I already believe that Jesus died for my sins? According to the Bible, it matters not what your religious belief is. What matters is that you admit your sinfulness, repent of your sins on an ongoi...

Re: Catholics' View on Jesus and the Church
You've avoided my question for a while now - do you think one of them is the Truth? About the Roman Catholic Church, I don't know what to tell you except that you are the one who's wrong about them straying from the Truth. You have no more claim to say so than you think I do, except I have Church hi...

Re: Catholics' View on Jesus and the Church
We can have a healthy debate about Roman Catholicism vs. Eastern Catholicism, but it is lunacy to think that at least one of them is not the Truth. Jesus said "I am the truth...", why is it you say an institution is the truth? Perhaps you do not understand the meaning of the Greek ekklesia , of whi...

Re: Catholics' View on Jesus and the Church
You say you are not seeking a debate yet you ask me to defend the Roman Catholic Church. That sounds like a debate. If you did not want to debate, why would you make the comment you did? You didn't answer my question about which branch of the Catholic Church your agree with. I can only assume you ag...

Re: Salvation: 1 The Formula
Reply to Jon Very sad to hear that you left the Church. You can still come back. It's never too late. Don't be sorry: when I left the Church, I found God and salvation. Salvation is in God, not in the Church. I describe the highlights of my journey in The Journey section in my blog The Narrow Road....

Re: Salvation: 1 The Formula
Paidon, what did you mean by "everyone is salted by fire"? Sounds like purgatory to me! I am not the source of these words. It is Jesus who said them. You need to ask Him what He meant. For everyone will be salted with fire. (Mark 9:49) It can't be a reference to purgatory, since not everyone goes ...
