Subject: Catholics and Heaven??? |
Bible Note: 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 |
