@@jozzen77abit more complicated what I learned. If you know that Christ established the catholic church as a means of our salvation and reject it, then salvation for such people is really difficult. However those who through invisible ignorance reject the church can be saved but it's still much harder outside of the church. It's only within the catholic church that we can say we have the hope of salvation. But it's true some outside have been saved even as St Paul indicated in Roman epistle

@aaronsmith5904 5 ай бұрын

And more than that, those with invincible ignorance that follow the dictates of their conscience are informally joined to the church. So we can still say that outside the church there is no salvation. Even if there are some saved outside the visible bounds of the church, they are saved precisely because they are invisibly joined to the church. However for any particular person we don’t know and this is unlikely as V2 says. So we must evangelise.

Luther may have been imperfect, but he brought much needed clarity on the doctrine of justification through faith. Of course works are linked to faith, but they are the fruit and not the root. And so, we can look to Christ alone and trust that we are forgiven because of what he accomplished in his death and resurrection. Then having been justified, God gives us a new heart with the desire to live for him. Obedience follows faith. If there are no works then there is clearly no faith. But works do not lead to justification, they are the result of it. This is made particularly clear in Romans and Galatians. God bless my Catholic brothers, from an evangelical in London ✝️

@DD-bx8rb 3 ай бұрын

No, good works are not "just fruits of faith". After the Grace of initial justification they play an important part in our justification. My friend, you posses no organ of infallible teaching to say what scripture means. We do not need the private interpetations of an "evenagelical in London". We have the divinely guaranteed teaching magisterium of Christ's church, which I would humbly implore you to heed to for the good of your own soul: 1. In the initial stage of justification , our good works have no part to play. When we come to God and are justified, it happens without any merit on our part. Neither our faith nor our works-nor anything else-merits justification. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church states: Since the initiative belongs to God in the order of grace, no one can merit the initial grace of forgiveness and justification, at the beginning of conversion (2010; emphasis in original). According to Trent, “none of those things that precede justification, whether faith or works, merit the grace of justification. 2. Regarding the ongoing (Rom. 3:23-24, 5:8-9) and final stages of justification (Rom. 6:16, Gal. 2:16), then works do play a part. This is how St. Paul understands the placement of works: (1) "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God-not because of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them" (Eph. 2:8-10). Notice that Paul excludes works only with regard to that initial stage of salvation/justification. After we’re initially justified, then we must carry out the good works that God wills for us. "By your stubbornness and impenitent heart,d you are storing up wrath for yourself for the day of wrath and revelation of the just judgment of God, who will repay everyone according to his works: eternal life to those who seek glory, honor, and immortality through perseverance in good works, but wrath and fury to those who selfishly disobey the truth and obey wickedness.” (Rom. 2:5-8). (2) St. James teaches the same with regard to the corporal works of mercy: You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone (James 2:24). (3) We also know that works pertain to our final justification, since Jesus teaches in Matthew 25:31-46 that the determining factor for those who go to heaven or hell are those who did and did not do the corporal works of mercy.

God bless Luther and Calvin. They only wanted to restore the Church to its original deposit. Calvin- "Our agreement with antiquity is far greater than yours, but all that we have attempted has been to renew the ancient form of the church ... [that existed] in the age of Chrysostom, and Basil, among the Greeks, and of Cyprian, Ambrose, and Augustine, among the Latins." This is years AD 30-400. The Patristic age before most accretions. The original Catholic Church was faith alone, through Christ alone, through the mystery of the Eucharist. They believed in scripture inerrancy as God breathed and fully completely sufficient for all dogma of Faith. In other words, the church was already complete. - Irenaeus (AD 180): We have learned from none others the plan of our salvation, than from those through whom the gospel has come down to us, which they did at one time proclaim in public, and, at a later period, by the will of God, handed down to us in the Scriptures, to be the ground and pillar of our faith. (Against Heresies, 3:1.1)

I am, I guess, a "Lutheran." That is to say that I believe that the unaltered Augsburg Confession of 1530 is a reasonable basis for a truly "free" ecumenical council (the first truly so since 787). Martin was neither a hero nor a heretic. He was a profoundly conservative theologian. He was an Augustinian. Read Augustine, and St. Cyprian for that matter. Calvin and Arminianism riding on Luther's coat tails is unacceptable. As a "Lutheran" I still pray to see a composing of difference with Rome so that we can be a truly Catholic Church.

I had to really study this topic to understand both perspectives as I wanted to be intellectually honest. When I came into the Protestant church as a Messianic coming from Jewish atheism, I was taught things about the Catholic church. But how was I to know if it were actually true? Should I just take the pastor's word for it? Shouldn't I study both sides of the argument? I didn't want to repeat what I'd done as an atheist and simply disallow the claims of Christianity because I didn't want them to be true. If Christianity were to have a chance to prove itself true to me, I'd at least have to allow for the possibility no matter how small that it could be true. I had to take the same approach with Catholicism; could their claims be true? Why were they making these claims about the papacy, Mary, the saints, the sacraments and the role of works in our salvation? Obviously I didn't know why. In order to know why these claims even existed, I'd have to understand their reasoning for making them. Not from a Protestant perspective alone, but from a Catholic viewpoint. Otherwise I would be intellectually dishonest. So that's what I did. I studied both sides all the while not wanting the arguments from Catholicism to be Scripturally, theologically or philosophically correct. I just wanted enough cannon fodder to fire at Catholicism when I was done. Cuz I just knew they had to be wrong since why would all these amazing well respected pastors teach what wasn't true?! They'd never do that! Would they? That's what I strove to find out. And here's my conclusion: they did NOT lie to me. They were sincere in their beliefs. But they were wrong. Eph 2:10; James 2:24.

Until his death ... Martin Luther was true to his personal interpretation of words in the Catholic bible. At that time in history ... there wasn't any Protestant bible. It was the German princes that coined the word “protest” ... which became "Protestant" and simply meant that Martin and his Catholic followers were "protesting" what pope Leo X was preaching as being truth from God. Martin’s AIM was to overthrow the pope and replace the pope with his self. He wanted to be married … and as a Catholic monk, that was not allowed. So … he swore that Pope Leo X was a heretical blasphemer and that HE (Martin) knew the *correct interpretation of the very same Catholic bible. “I am more afraid of my own heart than of the pope and all his cardinals. I have within me the great pope, Self.” Martin Luther. And of course, Pope Leo X referred to Martin Luther as being the “real” heretic. The tragedy of their choices … is that they were both just imagining that they knew truth from a god ... and that their arrogant behavior in turn resulted in division and war ... and the torture and death of many humans caught in the fray. And that to this day ... because of animosity ... has never created even a semblance of "agreement" in terms of biblical interpretation between the many factions. All the torture and anger and bloodshed could have been spared ... if only all the so-called "Men of the cloth" had said those three little words ... "I don't know."

Augustine- “…inasmuch as it is He that justifies the ungodly, to the man who believes in him that justifieth the ungodly, his FAITH is imputed for righteousness.” Clement of Rome All these, therefore, were highly honoured, and made great, not for their own sake, or for their own works, or for the righteousness which they wrought, but through the operation of His will. And we, too, being called by His will in Christ Jesus, are not justified by ourselves, nor by our own wisdom, or understanding, or godliness, or works which we have wrought in holiness of heart; but by that FAITH through which, from the beginning, Almighty God has justified all men; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. John Chrysostom The patriarch Abraham himself before receiving circumcision had been declared righteous on the score of FAITH ALONE: before circumcision, the text says, “Abraham believed God, and credit for it brought him to righteousness.” “What is the “law of faith?” It is, being saved by grace. Here he shows God’s power, in that He has not only saved, but has even justified, and led them to boasting, and this too without needing works, but looking for faith only.” The early Church considered salvation serious and radical.

Luther is a heritic bc he murdered and tortured many anabaptists which im sure this presenter klikely knows nothing about. I didnt either and i was raised catholic then flipped protestant. And just like a lot of catholics will blinding follow the pope no matter what most protestant will blindly support luther as well innexactly tye same kind of way-luther is invaluable no matter what. Until i found the name of man called fritz erbe. Well luther personally tortured him to death and since 1jn3:15 says what it does, and since i dont believe luther ever repented, then luther is likely in hell-right along w/ leo x and almost any pope you could imagine bc they murdered many christians and even some whose ceime was only translating the bible in the common language!!? Thats evil-helllooo?? Calvin likely didnt make it either. The "church" are those who love Christ and by the grace and empowerment of the Holy Spirit keep h His commandments jn15:14 and know Him personally john 17:3- not those who just ritually walk thru a building. Keep the nice building if you want but in private make sure that you know Christ-romans 12:1-2

@@HillbillyBlackThou art Peter and upon this rock I build my church and the gates of well will not prevail. Jesus said on universal Church. Denominations are separate churches in Protestantism that worship differently and conflict in doctrines. The Church Jesus made was the fulfillment of the Old Testament. God in salvation history started with Adam and Eve, then the family (Noah), Tribe, Nation, Kingdom, then Universal Church because God wanted everyone to know Him and be His chosen people by confessing that He is the true God, get baptized and turn away from sinful behavior. The Catholic Church is that which makes sure the teachings of Christ is passed down without error. Catholic in Greek literally means universal.

Luther is neither Heretic, meaning hell-bound, nor is he a Hero. He was an Augustinian monk who realized Rome had lost the Gospel, and Rome was using fear and extortion to exact money for a materialistic gaudy building that has nothing to do with Christianity. I doubt 3% of the commentators here know of the Great Pornacracy, or that the Papal chair for centuries was bought and sold, and that heathens and secular rulers who sat in that chair. Luther confirmed the Bible, there is one head of the Church, Christ alone. Papal infallibility is laughable, especially given its modern object. Rome since Trent has lost wholesale its way, and has lost the Gospel. The Mass is idolatry, transubstantiation a myth, and the one thing that led Luther to Truth was the relics trade. For it was lauded and well know at the time, " By the end of the Middle Ages so many churches claimed to possess relics of the True Cross, that John Calvin is famously said to have remarked that there was enough wood in them to fill a ship: There is no abbey so poor as not to have a specimen." As to the Roman apologists who like Islam claim unity, you either lie willingly or are ignorant of the truth. In fact, some claim sede vacante, Latin meaning "the chair being vacant," is used to refer to the interregnum between the death of one pope and the election of his successor (1). Today, however, it has come to mean that the See of Rome has been vacant since the death of Pius XII, or at least since Paul VI approved the Second Vatican Council in 1965. The Bible is clear, :" 5For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time. 7For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying) as a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth." There were no Popes, no such thing existed. It was man, who for the sake of power or lack, became self-appointed. This is why Rome attacks SolaScriptura the same way Islam attacks the Bible, because by it, their position of authority is destroyed. Shalom.
