How could any Christian be so hateful? Or did Jesus teach that Hate is okay? Oh, wait. No. He said to love even your enemies.

Just out of curiosity, are most of you on here age 15 or something? Because the way you flash your pride and throw around the word "heresy" as if you even knew what "orthodoxy" was, it really makes me wonder how old you are.

The Bible teaches the necessity of good works. Let me reiterate - That is not a gospel of works. It is a gospel of Grace. We must have faith and we must have works. Neither of these things can we possess of our own power, but only by the grace of God. That is the biblical Gospel.

The Catholic Church teaches that we have salvation by Gods grace through faith and works. Faith and works are inseperable as they both come from God. If you say you love God but hate your brother you are a liar and the truth is not in you.

I know what you were asking but sadly, for the majority of professing Christians regardless of denomination the answer will not be made known until it is too late when multitudes will hear those dreadful words "Depart from me, I never knew you."
But for the remnant whom the Father foreloved; they need not wait to hear "Come ye blessed of my Father..." for they already know.

We are not after your acceptance of us. What matters to us is God's approval. However, shouldn't we try to save someone if they are in a burning house?

The Lord's Supper - Jesus give the example of a Scrificial Priesthood to his Church. Read John 6!!! v.55 - For my flesh is meat indeed and my blood is drink indeed.

Look at the writings of Justin Martyr -Christian apologist of the first century. He describes the Sunday Worship of the Christians, and see how he describes their worship...It is the same as the Catholics do to day, Real Presence in the Eucharist and all! These are churches that were under the oversight of the Apostles not many years before. And they believe as we do today.

Just as you see your church represented in the New Testament Scriptures, Catholics do as well. Why should I believe your interpretation on worship, etc. when I can look at the records of Christians from the year 100 AD and following and see how they maintain the original teachings of Christ.

You cannot have a double standard - You cannot say, "you shouldn't believe in the position of the cardinal because 'Cardinal' is nowhere in the Bible." then turn around and say that you can believe in God as trinity despite the fact that the word "trinity" is never written in the Scriptures.

Once again, no one has yet explained to me why I should trust their personal fallible interpretation of the Scriptures.

Where in the Bible does it call God Trinity?

Where in the Bible does it say we should believe in "albert's" or "Ernie G's" interpretations of Scripture?

You cannot claim an infallible interpretation of Scripture. At best you can claim an interpretation that is partial truth. And how do we know which parts are true and which are false?

Jesus gave authority to the Church. But which church? yours? Can you point to a historical church that believed as you do to show that your assertions are correct?

I'll give you an appologetics tip: You will win more people to your position if you show a true understanding and true concern.

Remember Jesus' words, "By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another" Jn. 13:35.
