Subject: Have you ever read a book by a Catholic? |
Bible Note: "This is simply a misuse of Scripture. The sacraments have no derived power. It sounds good, but the Bible never hints at this. And I could easily give other examples." Steve, This you your opinion. The majority of Christians in the world, Catholic and Eastern Orthodox, have a diametrically opposed posiiton and interpretation of Scripture. You have no idea how offensive it is to Catholics to hear the presumtive judgement that they are not Christians. It is the height of arrogance on the part of those who make that judgement which should be left to God alone. What Dalcent may not be aware of is that the same judgement is often also made by the same people about other Protestant Christians who do not share their exact understanding of how ( a verbal profession of faith vs a verbal and physical, i.e scramental profession, of faith in Christ)one is justified rather than by Whom one is justified.
