If a man hears my words, and does not keep true to them, I do not pass sentence on him; I have come to save the world, not to pass sentence on the world. 48 The man who makes me of no account, and does not accept my words, has a judge appointed to try him; it is the message I have uttered that will be his judge at the last day. 49 And this, because it is not on my own authority that I have spoken; it was my Father, who sent me, that commanded me what words I was to say, what message I was to utter. 50 And I know well that what he commands is eternal life; everything then, which I utter, I utter as my Father has bidden me.
I wish you well on your journey to reach Heaven, but I don’t accept your misrepresentations about the Catholic Church.
All our RIGHTEOUSNESS is as filthy rags to God.
There's NOTHING we can do to earn our way to heaven.
God's standard for reaching heaven is perfection. Nobody has or is even capable of attaining that. Even if someone sinned only one sin in their entire lives and the rest of their life was perfect, it still wouldn't be enough.
We are not saved until we become lost. We are lost until we become saved.
John 3:16-18 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
If you think I'm misrepresenting the church, then tell me what you think I'm misrepresenting. Don't just throw unfounded accusations out there hoping they're going to stick.
