    The Path to Salvation

    These publications are in error if this is what they claim. The Catholic Church is the church founded by Jesus Christ. It was not founded in 325 AD. "As St. Ignatius of Antioch wrote, "Wherever the bishop appears, there let the people be; as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic...

    The Path to Salvation

    Jesus' command in Matthew 28:18-19 must be obeyed. Yes, at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow. Yes, it is Jesus' sacrifice that saved us. However, our salvation was brought to us by the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit working together, not by Jesus only. This is why we must be...

    The Path to Salvation

    You do not understand the idioms used by people in the first century AD. It seems that you believe that the apostles blatantly disobeyed Jesus' commandment in Matthew 28:18-20 and instead made up their own new formula for baptism, using only Jesus' own human name. John 3:36 Whoever believes in...

    The Path to Salvation

    There isn't any Scriptural proof that they disobeyed Jesus' commandment in Matthew 28:18-19 and baptized in the human name of Jesus only. The Scriptures were a supplement to the apostles’/disciples’ oral preaching/teaching. The people who listened to these letters from their leaders knew that...

    The Path to Salvation

    The biblical record and the early Church Fathers' writings show that the apostles obeyed Jesus' commandment in Matthew 28:18-20 to make disciples for him through water baptism in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Regarding traditions, the traditions taught by the...

    The Path to Salvation

    I will answer this for whoever is still reading this thread. I have many other things going on in my life. I can't read these threads as often as I would like to. Jesus Christ founded his church upon the foundation of the prophets and the apostles with himself as the capstone (Ephesians...

    The "watch rapture view"

    In a mere blink of an eye! :) Scholars believe that the present Kidron Valley is where the Valley of Jehoshaphat was located. We do know that only the righteous may enter into the third heaven and thereby see God the Father's face, so the judgment cannot possibly be held in the third heaven...

    The "watch rapture view"

    The first coming of Jesus was in the first century AD. The event that some Christians call "the Rapture" is actually Jesus' second coming to earth. At the last trumpet blast, the Christians who are alive on earth will rise to meet Jesus in the air, and then they will follow him to the Kidron...

    Unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you.

    We must literally eat the body and blood of Jesus Christ. Catholic Christians and Orthodox Christians literally eat the Passover Lamb (Jesus Christ). We literally eat his miraculous resurrected flesh. We do not ever eat his merely human flesh. Jesus is not dead when we eat his flesh and drink...

    The Path to Salvation

    I am sure you will find errors in many books, including Catholic ones. This Catechism should have been scrutinized more carefully for errors before allowing its printing. Jesus' explicit command: Matthew 28:19 Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the...

    The Path to Salvation

    What was the command of Jesus? Matthew 28:19 Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Jesus is not the Father. Jesus is not the Holy Spirit. Jesus is the Son. He did not command the apostles to baptize...

    The Path to Salvation

    The Epistle of Ignatius to the Smyrnaeans (Ignatius of Antioch - Wikipedia) Ignatius biography Chapter 8. Let nothing be done without the bishop (CHURCH FATHERS: Epistle to the Smyrnaeans (St. Ignatius)) See that you all follow the bishop, even as Jesus Christ does the Father, and the presbytery...

    The Path to Salvation

    The gospel is all that Jesus taught his apostles/disciples both verbally and by example. Jesus commanded them to preach/teach his gospel throughout the whole world. He did not command them to write a book, call it the Bible, and then have his followers individually interpret the meaning of his...

    The Path to Salvation

    I thank you for your thoughtful suggestion. I do, however, disagree with this author. When properly interpreted and properly understood, the New Testament Scriptures back up the Catholic Church's teachings. It was the earliest leaders of the Catholic Church who authored the New Testament...
