As a Catholic(who is also a Christian), I have to state the fact that I disagree with this statement entirely. The Creationist belief is biblical, it's what traditionally ever Catholic has believed, going even to the 20th century. Moreover, most certainly yes, Saint Joan of the Arc's trial was...

You are right. No Christian should be following the Mosaic Law, but Jesus did mention the fact that you keep the commandments.However Our Lord did mention we keep the commandments. In regards at least to that specific part of(the Law), Jesus did affirm the fact that we must keep it. And also...

It's unfortunate if you assert such a position. We also don't follow the Mosaic Law, but the New Covenant, in which is taught by the Early Christians(such as the Eucharist).

That inheritance which St. Peter talks about in 1 Peter 1:3-5 means "it is unfading away". That's the Greek word ἀμάραντον(amaranton) which can also mean unfading away, or permanent. The inheritance of those that believe in the true faith will not fade away. That's why it is "reserved in heaven...

Therefore he came back again; he preached; he threatened; he persuaded; he preserved; he affrighted; he amended; he established; by one, and that the first preaching! Many days he needed not, nor continued counsel; but speaking these simple words only, he brought all to repentance! On this...

I don't disagree with what St. Paul is stating here. Why? Because firstly as someone(as the context of both Romans 3 and Romans 4 affirms) are justified by the grace of faith in which God gives them. That is why works are not salvific if we are not under the state of grace of God. You have not...

The point that the Holy Scriptures are making clear in Romans 3 and Romans 4 is the fact that St. Paul states that it is the works of the Mosaic Law. I am merely mentioning the context of the verses, as well as what he is previously talking about to affirm the fact that in Romans 2, 3 and 4, St...

St. Paul is only referring to the Mosaic Law, which is so evident when one reads Romans 3. In Romans 3:1, he states basically "what's the point of being a Jew, or the point of being circmcised", so we know firstly in the immediate context he is talking about Jews. Secondly, he mentions in Romans...

Yes, the works that meritious infront of God only because that person is in a state of grace. That person cannot "earn their way to heaven" which you wrongly attempted to state was the Catholic's teaching on the matter. Furthermore, respectfully sir, you also may have not read one of the Decrees...

It's unfortunate you misquote the Council of Trent. Please actually read everything about the Council's of Trent's Decrees on Justification, as well as the Cannons before you post. But just to respond to this misquoting without looking at the full context, I'll also quote other cannons as well...

Furthermore, the Hebrews 6 doesn't affirm that position. Saint Paul(or whoever who wrote Hebrews) makes it clear that those that were "once enlightened can lose the true faith. This is in the beginning chapters of Hebrews 6. I would also like to quote what I stated before in order for people to...

2 Peter 2:20-22- “For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the...

I believe as the passages evidently state that one could lose their salvation, as evidenced in my response to what you quoted. I also like that Catholic Channel(I disagree with them with many things though, especially) but I chose this name because those that are part of the Church are...

Yes, as scripture well evidences. One can turn away from God and lose their salvation. I've stated that earlier in the thread.

If we fall away from the true faith, we lose the state of grace that God has given us.

God has one will, but that will has something akin to a will of effect(like Exodus 7 where he hardened the heart of pharoah so his glory could be manifested, him pulling the Jews out of Egypt, him coming down to die for us(fullfilling the prophecy of Genesis 3:15) and various other examples)...

I also believe in grace alone. That grace gives us faith in the Triune God, and also inspires us to do works which are only meritorious under the state of grace since we can lose it.

My sincerest apologies if I offend you. I'm just simply confused if you are arguing against what I stated, or are in affirmation for it. Also, I believe(or I hope at least) the two aforementioned people know their bibles well(I need to improve on that part), but I do agree. The Book of Romans...

How do you interpret the Parable of the Sower, Hebrew 6, and 2nd Peter Chapter 2 then?
