Well let's see how that logic works for other scripture. Jesus said, "Very truly, I tell you, anyone who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and does not come under judgment, but has passed from death to life."
Of course--but did Jesus say here that being subject to the Pope and believing the 4 Marian dogmas are necessary for salvation?
So you cannot deny that Christ promised that anyone who hears his word and believes him who sent him has eternal life.
Sure, believing in Jesus Christ as Lord and God and Savior and trusting in Him only for salvation, great and free, is exactly how we are saved!
Catholics hear Christ's words and we believe him who sent him so we have eternal life.
Oh, really? Then why all of the added-on dogmas that one must believe to be saved--like being subject to the Pope and believing in the 4 Marian dogmas?
You cannot deny that your church teaches that not all who hears Christ's word and believes him who sent him has eternal life.
Huh? If this is about TULIP then it is off topic for this board and I won't discuss it.
No, Christ isn't a liar, but your church does teach lies--like that one must be subject to the pope in order to be saved, AND believe in the 4 Marian dogmas...but where did Jesus teach believing in these things is necessary for salvation?So either Jesus Christ is a liar ....OR...Catholics have eternal life.
