1 | Catholics and Heaven??? | Eph 2:8 | Insane5175 | 11178 | ||
Howdy, I have a question. Do you believe Catholics go to heaven? Personally I think they do. But someone told me they didn't. Which doesn't make since to me. I mean they should. If anyone has any scripture or words of wisdom I would appreciate it. Well just wondering what everyone thought. God Bless |

2 | Catholics and Heaven??? | Eph 2:8 | HHannaJr | 28874 | ||
I was saved as a 17 year old having been Catholic myself. 27 years later, I have learned that many Catholics are saved, many are not. Those that are, like myself have come to Christ on a personal basis, repented from sins that I had not confessed before, and received Christ as my ONLY pathway to Heaven. Catholics must come to Christ like everyone else does - in humility, totally inept of saving ourselves, not by works nor by religious righteousness. We are totally depraved and Christ is the only One Who can save us from the wages of sin. Some Catholics have done this. There are millions upon millions who have not. Read I John 5:11-13. That nails the coffin shut on this issue. Hope this helps you - HHannaJr - Birmingham, AL | ||||||
3 | Catholics and Heaven??? | Eph 2:8 | Hank | 28882 | ||
HHannaJr: What you say about there being Catholics who are not saved could be said with equal authenticity of some members of other communions as well, if we are to believe some of the confessions of some church members who have admitted to having been members of this church or that one but who never really experienced regeneration. Pew warmers and "church members" are not necessarily Christians, but all Christians are members of Christ's church and ought to be examples, not only in warming the pew on the Lord's day, but in letting their light shine in a dark and fallen world. --Hank | ||||||
4 | Catholics and Heaven??? | Eph 2:8 | HHannaJr | 28886 | ||
To Hank my reference to some Catholics, it is not based upon those who are just pew sitters. Yes, you are right. Every denomination has people within their church rolls that are not saved, they believe only with their heads and not in their hearts. It has been said that there is only 18 inches between heaven and hell. The same distance between your head and your heart. Jesus meant what He said that you MUST be Born Again and many refuse to believe in their heart that Jesus Christ is Lord and Saviour. This then is the crucial question, not whther they are "pew sitters". HHannaJr - Birmingham, AL |

5 | Catholics and Heaven??? | Eph 2:8 | Hank | 28887 | ||
HHannaJr: Those "pew sitters" who truly do not believe that Jesus is the Christ, their Lord and Savior -- well, the pew is not going to do much saving, is it? By the way, my dad (long deceased) was from in and around Birmingham. --Hank | ||||||
