Bible Question:
I am a former Catholic and now have a devout Catholic asking me where it says in the Bible that all we need to be saved is to accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. I've seen many verses telling us of this but none that I found that say those exact words. Where can I find that? He is very defensive when it comes to the Catholic religion and says Jesus is NOT the only way, that you need to follow tradition as well. Jesus warns us of this in the Bible though, overly religious law-makers who babble their own rules out. Help! |
Bible Answer: Hi, Here are a few scriptures that might help you out with your friend. Romans 10:9-13, John 6:47-48, John 10:7-9, John 11:25-26, John: 25-30 John 14:6-7 I think this one sums it up for you. I also noticed that you said your friend was very defensive, I would like to ask you a favor, before you talk to him the next time, pray that the Holy Spirit would open his heart. And if you would read 1 Peter 15. Notice the gentleness and respect. God Bless |
