The important question here is... who else says this?

a. Jehovah’s Witnesses
b. Mormons
c. The Way International
d. The Unification Church - “Moonies”
e. The Family
f. Hebrew Roots
g. Christian Identity Movement Aryan Nations, KKK, etc
h. Christian Science
i. Church Universal and Triumphant (Elizabeth Claire Prophet)
j. Church of the New Jerusalem (Emanuel Swedenborg)
k. Theosophy (H. P. Blavatsky)
l. All of the above
m. All of the above PLUS many others

Your own church admits it.

“When we give or receive Christmas gifts; or hang green wreaths in our homes and churches, how many of us know that we are probably observing pagan customs...the god, Woden, in Norse Mythology, descends upon the earth yearly between December 25th and January 6th to bless mankind...But pagan though they be, they are beautiful customs. They help inspire us with the spirit of 'good will to men', even as the sublime service of our Church reminds us of the ‘peace on earth’ which the babe of Bethlehem came to bestow” (Externals of the Catholic Church, 140).

I expect to see little burned up and much remaining that she will be rewarded for.

That's quite possible.

However, the RECORD is strangely silent about her activities after ...


John 19:26
When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, "Woman, here is your son,"

No saved person will undergo judgement for sin.


Exodus 32:32-33
 But now, if you will forgive their sin—but if not, please blot me out of your book that you have written.”  But the Lord said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me, I will blot out of my book.
 

Daniel 12:1
 “At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the book.
 
 
 
Philippians 4:3
 And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.
 

Revelation 3:5
He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
 

Revelation 13:8
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
 
 
 
Revelation 17:8
 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
 
 
 
Revelation 20:11-15
"Then I saw a great White Throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and THE BOOKS WERE OPENED. Another book was opened WHICH IS THE BOOK OF LIFE. The dead were judged according to their works as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to their works.  Then death and Hades were thrown into the Lake of Fire. The Lake of Fire is the second death. If anyone's name was not found written IN THE BOOK OF LIFE, he was thrown into the lake of fire."
 
Revelation 21:27
Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.


It appears that ALL do get judged: for the WORKS they've done and whether their name in in the BoL.

I guess one could say that 'sins' of the saved would be judged, because their name IS in the BoL; but if 'sins' affect what your 'works' are; then they may be judged; but only to ascertain what rewards you'd get.

More odd views of a poster who claims that #1 Catholics are idolaters, that #2 those who celebrate Easter and Christmas are pagans and #3 that claims that the idea of church on Sunday is a man made tradition and apparently not either Christian or Biblical.


Each one of these is a REALLY good accusation.

Do you have a LINK to each one so anyone interested person could actually SEE what you are claiming here?

If you are ashamed of your beliefs, why do you mock the beliefs of others?

This is rich; coming from one who apparently needs more FIBER in his diet...

Simple independent clause.

Simple Question: "What MUST we do..."

Simple Answer: "...believe in the one he has sent.”

The basic tenets appear to be positive and similiar to the Catholic teachings, but I really don’t have sufficient information to advise you.

What would you advise a fellow Catholic that has claimed that the WESLEYAN doctrine contains error?

That looks like the Crips. Their color is blue.

RED is the color of the Bloods...

Judas didn’t believe what Yeshua taught and commanded, and that is what is required to qualify as believing in the context of the word of God.

Believing on someone doesn’t simply mean believing they exist. Satan so believes!

Is this what you’ve hung your hopes on?

He “walked with him” for 69 of the the 70 weeks that were prophecied, but not one minute in belief.

Today at Mass, our Italian priest hit it out of the park discussing the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit. We both came away with a better understanding of how our faith allows us to know that we are taking the body and blood of Jesus at Communion.

“Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” John 6:28-29
