You're viewing part of a thread.
Is 20 a few? The idea of salvation being through Christ alone is literally in the Bible. What are you talking about? I've repented of my sins, and belief in the Bible is not a sin.
Are you talking Catholicism? Even then, you still have Ephesians 2:8-9 "For by grace, you have been saved through faith. And this is not of yourselves, for it is a gift of God. And this is not of works, so that no one may glory." (CPDV) and James 2 still making it clear that faith without works is dead.
It's false that your heresy has existed for 2000 years; it's only been the last few hundred. Salvation is through the Church, not through Christ, and outside the church you're damned. Sorry.
Mate, I don't even have a frame of reference to understand where you're coming from. Do you believe the Bible? What are you, Eastern Orthodox or something? Or are you trolling? I don't want to assume ill intent, but I'd like to have something to go off of. The idea that mankind can save each other is preposterous to me. What do you think Jesus died for? And also I'm part of a church and I've seen God work in my life, so you're going to have to be more specific if you're going to say that's not up to standards.
Of course you don't have the right frame of reference to understand because your mind is steeped in heresy. You think you can steal the Bible from the religion that it belongs to and just decide what it means for yourself, but it doesn't work that way. God ordained his Church as his representative in the world, and only through that Church can you be saved. The Church is the only one who can interpret the Bible, and outside the Church you stand condemned.
Which church? What is your version of Christianity called?
I don't have a "version" of Christianity; I follow the truth. Why are you so concerned with my identity? Are you unable to engage with true ideas without putting the speaker into a comfortable box?
You are telling me I can't find salvation outside the church. I am already part of a church, but apparently it's not the right church. You won't even tell me what church you want me to join. At this point, I'm convinced you're trolling.
You say you're part of "a church." But there is only one Church, founded by the apostles, and if you were part of the true church, you wouldn't call it "a" church.
I'm not trolling. Matthew 13:13-15.
