@DRMSHPhD People are not going to hell because they haven't heard the Gospel, many who hear the Gospel will still go to hell. The reason people go to hell is that they are sinners!
You couldn't be more wrong if you tried. Matthew 24 and 28 have nothing to do with any Christian anywhere. The Mystery of the Church hasn't even been revealed yet to anyone. If you stuck to the scriptures, you would realize that in
2Tim2:15 "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."
You have failed to rightly divide the word of truth.
The only people who care about what the retarded "church fathers", most of whom ended up being apostates who introduced heresies, have to say is the people who reject the Bible, the pagans of The Great Whore, The Roman Catholic Church. If you pick up a Bible and read it, you wouldn't care what a single one of those people has to say. The Christ-rejecting pagans, like Roman Catholics, will search for Church Fathers, deuterocanonical books, and different translations all in an effort so they can reject the Word of God, bhecause when they read it, they realize that Book is against them.
@w_bitterman You left out the last part of that verse "if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together."
Not sure everyone who is saved will inherit anything at all.
@JohnCornyn@WSJopinion Now you see why you were voted out of office. You were always a snake, and you still are a snake! Everybody will love it when you are gone once and for all!
@Elohim_Gadol As a Christian, I wouldn't accept anything that is translated by an interdenominational council or comes from Vaticanus and Sinaticus manuscripts (all Roman Catholic products)
That is because you are a Christ-rejecting pagan that does not read the Bible. Luke11:51 "From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation." Because the pagan of the Roman Catholic Church rejects the word of God and doesn't study it as commanded (2Tim2:15) they have no idea what this means. Abel is in Genesis and Zacharias which perished between the altar is in 2Chronicles. If you bother to get a Jewish Bible you will find that it has the same 39 books in the Old Testament that the Christian (not Roman Catholic because they are as Christian as Mohammed) has in their Bible but they are arranged from Genesis to 2Chronicles and have zero of the Roman Catholic fantasy porn included in it. Jesus was giving a definitive statement on the "canon" at that time. The New Testament "canon" had already been accepted by Christians in the 1st Century with absolutely no need of any Roman Councils and it also did not include the Roman Catholic fantasy porn.
It is also important to remember that Roman Catholics are no different from their brothers and sisters in Satan, Islam, in that they will lie through their teeth to deceive people. All you have to do is read their own stupid literature they put out, either through Papal Bulls, various Councils, Knights of Columbus, and the writings of their Bishops, to see that this is all a lie. Purgatory is not in the Bible. No Christian or Jew ever accepted 2 Maccabees as scripture, and 1 Corinthians 3:15 is about the Judgement Seat of Christ for your heavenly rewards and has nothing whatsoever to do with purgatory, but what Roman Catholic actually reads the Bible.? Nowhere in the Bible does Jesus appoint Peter as head of the Church. Peter wasn't even the apostle to the Gentiles, that was Paul (Gal2:9). Peter wasn't even trusted to be in charge of the Council of Jerusalem (Acts 15) instead the Lord's Brother James was in Charge. No Catholic reads or understands the Bible because they reject it so they have no understanding of Matthew16:18-19. The Rock is Jesus Christ and never was Peter. No Roman Catholic alive or dead was a serious student of the scriptures, mainly because they donโt believe in them to begin with. Any Roman Catholic who seriously studied the scriptures left Roman Catholicism. If any Roman Catholic has actually taken the time to read the Bible in order for them to believe their fairy tale fantasy of Peter being the Rock would have to overlook the dozens upon dozens of passages in both the Old and New Testament that clearly state that Jesus Christ is the Rock. No Roman Catholic alive can Smell What โThe Rockโ is cooking!
1) The word โPeterโ is P-E-T-E-R; the word โrockโ is R-O-C-K.
2) The word for Peter (in Greek) is Petros; the word for rock (in Greek) is Petra
3) The word for Peter (in Latin) is Petrus; the word for rock (in Latin) is Petrum.
4) Simon Peter himself confessed the Rock was Christ, not himself(1Pet.2:8,4)
5) Paul confessed that the Rock was Christ (1Cor10:1-4)
6) Jesus said that He Himself was the Rock (Matt 21:42,44, Dan2)
7) Jesus is the Rock and the Rock of Salvation (Deu 32:4,15)
A little โrockโ is Simon Peter, and those who adopt this rock are the enemy of both Israel and God (Deut 32:31)
If the Popes are following Peter they are doing a bad job it:
1) Peter was married (Matt 8), Popes are not.
2) Peter had Children (1Pet5:13), Popes do not (some of them donโt)
3) Peter was wrong in doctrines(Gal 2:11), Popes are supposedly infallible
4) Peter said the supreme political power on earth was the king, not the pope(1Pet2:13)
5) Peter said all Christians were priests who were to offer spiritual sacrifices(1Pet2:5), not Nicolaitanes repeating literal sacrifices (Heb10:11).
6) Peter would not allow a man to bow down to him (Acts10:26)
7) He only baptized adults(Acts 2)
8) He baptized gentiles after they received the Holy Spirit, not at birth (Acts10:44-47)
He wore no crown, no long robes, sported no ring on his finger for people to kiss
In his latter years he preached the free salvation of God as a gift of grace, apart from sacraments of any kind (Acts15:11), which is doctrine no liquored-up Pope would dare preach.
@MrCasey62 A Baalite priest says some magic words like Hong Kong Phooey abracadabra Phoney Baloney and then nothing happens. They eat a wafer and drink some "hooch" repeating an ancient African Black Magic Ritual.
The African Black Magic ritual that is called the Eucharist. How is it that some priest says some magic words like abracadabra Hong Kong Phooey Phoney Baloney and turns the "hooch" and piece of bread into the body and blood of Jesus Christ. After I read my Bible I realized this magic ritual was nowhere to be found and was just an ancient pagan Rome cult ritual.
@gonefishin1948 Catholics are not Christians. You can not reject the Gospel (1Cor15:1-4) which is the only way men can be saved and call yourself a Christian.
