1 | "Once Saved Always Saved" | NT general Archive 1 | There | 25446 | ||
I know what you mean. I used to ask why, "if there is only ONE way to the Father"... then "why does the church teach other means of salvation". Such as works, purgatory, praying to Mary and the saints. Either there is ONE way, or there is NOT ONE way. And since the Bible teaches "one way", and those teachings (apostolic teachings) are what the Catholic Church claims to base their religion on... then the Church's whole teaching should agree with the apostolic teachings. Did that make sense? :) |

It makes perfect sense to me. The problem is that the Catholic church claims that salvation is attained partly through faith in Jesus and partly through tradition of the church. This places the church, the pope and all it's other officials next to Jesus as mediators to God Almighty. A pretty lucrative place to be, I suppose. Phl 1:17 the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition rather than from pure motives, thinking to cause me distress in my imprisonment. Since we must all "work out our own salvation with fear and trembling" (Phil 2:12) I choose not to follow false or shady doctrins put together by organizations of men, but only the Bible as God's infailable word. Rejoice in the Lord who is near, Bob |
