jesus-is-savior.com/False%20Religions/Roman%20Catholicism/fools.htm This person on this website (I think its Baptist) says that Catholics are going to hell. Maybe I’m getting too worked up about it, but I thought all Christians would be saved. as long as one repent of their sins and accept Jesus as their Savior. Thats what Baptists believe too I thought?
Well that their long held position.
Keep in mind they too are “Protestants” which means protesting Catholic Truths [2nd. Tim. 3:16-17]
And as a FYI the ONLY manner Jesus; our Perfect God accepts for the NORMAL means of sins forgiveness is the Catholic Sacrament of Confession; which is precisely why he Himslef created it.
** 1John.1 Verses 8 to 10:** "If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us."
** 1John.5 Verses 16 to 17**"If any one sees his brother committing what is not a mortal sin, he will ask, and God will give him life for those whose sin is not mortal. ** There is sin which is mortal**; I do not say that one is to pray for that. All wrongdoing is sin, ** but there is sin which is not mortal. **
** John.20 Verses 20 to 23**]" When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. ** Jesus said to them ** again, “Peace be with you. ** As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.” ** And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”
The Exceptional means and; by NO MEANS assured is this.
- In Dire energency [life or death sistuation]
- NOT ever having the opportunity [not the belief; only the opportunity] which God SURELY knows; can make and MUST make A Perfect Act of Contrition… which ONLY God knows if it is???
That my friend is WHY Jesus created this sacramnet taht we can lnow as the ONLY Known Forgivieness of sins.
I can easily disprove biblically the Baptist claim; can thy disprove mine as a catholic? NO!
God Bless you,
