Subject: Is Catholic considered false religion? |
Bible Note: CDBJ Believe me I'm not defending Catholicism nor am I criticizing you. You say, “I only Know what my wife has told me from her past, as she spent 26 years as a Catholic 12 of which were spent in Catholic schools. She said that she never had the full assurance of her salvation until she completely believed in Christ and turned her life over to him. Up to that point in time in her life she said that she was always in fear of dying and only hoped the she had been good enough.” Trust me this is not a problem unique to the Catholic Church Protestant Churches are filled with people with the same fear. I’m more than moderately convinced that many that attend church, do so not because of a love for and desire to worship God, but rather believing that church attendance will gain them admittance to heaven. I once was shocked when J Vernon McGee said that less then 65 percent of the people attending church are truly saved. I then began surveying pastors for their opinion, most feel that the real number is less than 25 percent. America’s church are filled with people there for all the wrong reasons, being taught all the wrong stuff, but it is being done so spectacularly most think it is supernaturally. EdB |
