Protestant Theology & Catholic Doctrines

Exposed to cover & discover the “Naked Truth“... Catholic responses to the Booklet: “Answers to my Catholic Friends” by Thomas F. Heinze    part 4

A Catholic reply to Protestant “[mis]- Understandings” Part 4

 Patrick j Miron --


Here’s a brief Catholic Explanation of God’s own Commanded process of Salvation

Please take note of the fact that I am using the Bible as supporting evidence of the Catholic Position. 

“Bible church Protestants” swear it is the ONLY reliable and solid evidence for learning RIGHT Faith beliefs


 and so we shall use it to support ALL of our Catholic teachings and beliefs.  

This is not intended as a complete teaching on this subject; rather it’s aim is to  point out major differences in our basic-Faith- beliefs.

 In What Christ taught; the bibles say’s and what Protestant CHOOSE to believe. and catholic's tell you what 2 believe

It is a completely correct theological understanding that humanity by themselves, cannot “earn” their salvation

. It is equally true that God,

 in a mystery only He can understand  

does require humanity to MERIT sufficient graces to attain our own salvation.  

The FACT  of patrick j miron

 that God demands our freewill- co-operation as a condition of our salvation is a mystery only He can unravel. Our freewill correctly used and applied must correspond with specific conditions; conditions that God Himself ordains. 

This  predicated fact is fully supported by the way we are Created to emulate God Himself. We are to cooperate with God’s plan; and God’s grace in able to merit [in the manner He specifies] what are the essential elements of our own personal salvation.

Of ALL created things in the Universe;  

only humanity can rationalize and choose to love 

. In order to do this requires the “God-like” attributes of a mind, intellect, and a freewill which are permanently attached to our souls; which emulate God Himself because they are Spiritual things, which cannot die or be killed. While our bodies die; this Spiritual package of gifs live on for eternity.

The man, made easy philosophy that teaches that 

“all that is required for ones “salvation” is to ask God to “be my personal Lord and Savior” may make one all warm and fuzzy inside. 

But it will not get one to heaven.

 what the bible says


{{. ⁸ But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,”^[d] that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: ⁹ If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰ For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. ¹¹ As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”^{[e] 12} For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, ¹³ for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”^[f]
14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? ¹⁵ And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”^[g]}}}}

It will not bring of itself salvation.

 Believing that anyone can or will attain participation in Christ Glory without first sharing in Christ 

 Delusion belief of patrick j miron

Passion and suffering is a naïve, foolish, even nonsensical teachings of mortal men;

 who themselves claim to know more and or know better that the God Inspired Bible.

 [2nnd. Tim 3:16]  Protected [John 17:15-19] and Guided Catholic Church. [John 14:16-17; fulfilled in John 20:21-22] …These verses provide direct evidence of Christ teaching and personal commitment to the catholic Church. One can know this based on the fact that when these words were written; the only Church and only Christian Faith in the ENTIRE World; was today’s Catholic Church and our Faith-belief -teachings.

“Take Up your Cross and Follow Me”

Phil.2: 8 “And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross Luke.9 :23 And he said to all, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. Mark.8: 34 And he called to him the multitude with his disciples, and said to them, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. Luke.9: 23 And he said to all, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. Luke.14: 7 Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple.”

1Pet.5: 1, 9  “So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ as well as a partaker in the glory that is to be revealed. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experience of suffering is required of your brotherhood throughout the world.”

1Pet.4: 13 ” But rejoice in so far as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.

Phil.1: 29 “For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake, “

2Thes.1: 5 “This is evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be made worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering “

Heb. 2: 10 For it was fitting that he, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through suffering.

2Tim.4: 5 “As for you, always be steady, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.”

Correctly understood is the realization that MUCH of this “suffering” has to do with subjecting ones own freewill and fully comply in humble obedience to everything that Christ teaches

 Delusion commentary with patrick j miron

, and to those that He Himself chose and placed in authority.

John 20:19-22 “On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you." When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you." And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.” [THIS MEANS WITH GOD’S OWN POWERS AND GODS OWN AUTHORITY] Does God do this for you’re pastor? NO he does not.
