@Catholicizm1 Ephesians 2:8,9 “For by grace you have been saved through FAITH, not because of works lest any man should boast.’ Seems pretty clear to me.

@CatholicDrip___ The apostle James said it best. “Faith that does not produce good works is dead. It is useless and is not a saving faith. The Bible teaches this: Salvation is through faith alone. But The faith that saves is never alone.

“If salvation is by faith alone… why do Protestants still insist real faith must produce works? In reality, Luther needed a “slogan” to differentiate his new Church💧

@MrCasey62 Doctrine is important but it does not save anybody. Salvation comes through faith in Jesus by God’s grace. There will be billons of people in Heaven who had some portion of doctrine wrong.

“‘Which doctrines are essential?’ or ‘Which doctrines MUST Christians agree upon?’ or ‘What do I HAVE to believe to be a Christian?’ or ‘What do I HAVE to believe to be saved?’ The point is we care about doctrine because some false teachings may imperial your salvation.”

@Protestia If you are a Christian pastor and reject the Bible as truth that is like being a math teacher and rejecting the math text book as true. This man should find another vocation.

'I'm going to say this in the nicest way possible. I don't care what the bible says. I just don't care...at the end of the day Paul was wrong." Pastor Joe Smith of Meizon Church (Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) explains that he doesn't care what Paul says in the bible.

@CatholicDrip___ @l_vliet72077 The term Catholic was not used until the 4th century and the word is not found in scripture. All of the earliest Christians met in house churches not like the ones we see today. If you look at what happens in churches today, the Protestant service is much closer to the original.

As a Catholic I can say my church was stated by Christ (we got receipts🧾) But is Protestantism, the act of starting a competing church, Biblical?💧

@BishopJaxi I John 5:12,13 “ This is the truth. He who has Jesus has eternal life. He who does not have Jesus does not have the life.” Seems pretty clear to me. Membership in any church will not get you to Heaven. Faith in Jesus is the only way.

@BishopJaxi I am a Protestant chaplain who served at a Catholic hospital for 5 years. Have much in common with Catholic believers but the differences keep me from being Catholic: The pope Veneration of Mary Salvation - faith alone

If the Holy Spirit guided the Church and it never fell into serious error… then why can’t Protestants name one identifiable Christian before the 15th century who taught their exact gospel and interpreted Scripture the same way? Where is it in history?

@BillArnoldTeach There were a lot of Catholic priests lead by Martin Luther who were speaking out against some of what was going on in the church but instead of considering their concerns they were excommunicated. Luther never wanted to leave the Catholic Church. He had no choice.

@TheStaad Jesus on the cross said, “It is finished” He meant what He said. The sacrifice the Lord made on the cross was sufficient and does not need to be repeated every time you have a church service.

While all parts of the Mass are important, it’s pretty telling that Evangelicals do away with all the most essential parts of the Mass while making the very least essential part of it (the homily, or sermon) the main point of their services The Mass is about Jesus Evangelical services are about Pastor Greg in the skinny jeans’ opinions about Jesus

@timotheeology @patrickbetdavid Early believers were called Christians long before the term Catholic was used and all the early churches were house churches with no denominational tag.

You're not really Christian unless you're Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox, @patrickbetdavid So next time before you contrast Catholics & Christians, recall that as a Protestant, you're not even part of a Christian Church (w/ apostolic succession/priests/bishops/sacraments)

@KickPistons Sounds very prideful to me. If you are saved it was because of God’s grace and not because you earned it. Our eternal destiny is based on our faith not church membership.

Harsh truths for Noncatholics: Mary is a better Christian than you'll ever be. The Catholic Church has more authority to interpret Scripture than you'll ever have. Jesus is infinitely more present in the Eucharist than He'll ever be in your church's pale shadow of communion.

@BillArnoldTeach Jesus also said the eye is the lamp of the body. Is the eye really a lamp? Are Christians really the body of Christ? There is a reason this doctrine has been debated since the time of Christ. I am a chaplain that ministers to both Catholics and Protestants so I try to be gracious

@BillArnoldTeach Do not agree but this is an in house debate. Not all Protestant denominations agree on this. Both the Episcopal and Lutheran churches take it literally. The tradition I was raised in does not but we take it very seriously with thankful hearts for the Lord’s sacrifice.

@BishopJaxi Satan loves it when Christians attack Christians. He is laughing at us. There are no Catholics or Protestants in heaven. Only followers of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Tucker: Protestantism is spiritually corrupt and preaches a religion that bears no resemblance to Christianity. He is absolutely correct.

@BishopJaxi Without the Protestant reformation we might still be paying priests to get people out of purgatory. Some of the things the church was doing at the time of the reformation was simply evil. Luther wanted to reform the church not leave it. He was excommunicated.

The Protestant Reformation might be the most destructive historical event since the fall of Adam. Without it, we wouldn’t have modernism, the rise of atheism, the revival of long-dead heresies, thousands of man-made denominations, doctrinal chaos, or the elevation of the self as the final authority.
