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 3
A Catholic reply to Protestant “[mis]- Understandings” Part 3
“WHERE Do the Differences Between Catholics and Come From?”
Romans 2: 4-6 “Or do you presume upon the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience? Do you not know that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? But by your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed. For he will render to every man according to his works:”
“Many people tell me [quoting Thomas], “you Protestants interpret the Bible one way, and the Catholic Church another.” …
”The differences are not really differences of interpretation, but of authority. For Biblical Protestants, the authority is the Word of God. A priest summed it up this way: ”You Protestants believe everything that the book say’s’ “
It is extremely important; even vital to recognize that the Protestant claim that the bible; for them, “acts for “as their “god,” This is based on a complete and total falsehood. Because God” is not with them in the same manner He IS with us Catholics.
The Bible Alone” then acts as the “only and final authority“, leading Protestants to consistent errors and numerous disagreements within even there own non-catholic ranks.”
YET that same “final authority” is NOT fully accepted,
and is often rejected,
with amazing consistently, as “common self- selectively” is regularly applied on all of their following positions which are taught in the Bible.
1. Only One God; Only One set of Faith beliefs, and Only one church approved, guided and guarded organization as was set up by Christ. [John 14:16-17; John 17:15-19; John 20-19-22; Matt. 28:16-20, Matt. 16:18-19].
2. The Primacy of Peter. Jesus gave the key’s to heavens access to Peter and the CC alone.
3. The denial of the proper place and absolute need for the CC as The Primary and Guided Teacher chosen by God
4. The essential Role of grace , especially “sacramental grace“ in BOTH Faith and salvation
5. Salvation issues and how salvation might be possible [clearly NOT OSAS] which denies God’s Divinity and humanities freewill, mind and intellect.
6. Predestination as part of salvation is NOT God’s way [nor the bibles, IF correctly understood.
7. The Seven Sacraments ALL instituted by Christ [explicitly or implicitly] for our benefit.
8. Forgiveness of Sins and how it MUST happen, because God Himself say’s so.
9. That reading the Bible while a good thing; OFTEN [as evidenced by the MULTITUDE of Protestant denominations and varying faith-beliefs] ; is dangerous when not done in full-accord with the
One Authority guided and honored by God; thee CC.
[Mt.16:15-19; Mt.28:16-20; John 14:16-17; John 17:15-19, John 20:19-22; Eph. 4:1-7, Acts 20:29, Rom. 3:2; Jer. 3:15; 1 John 4:4-5; 2nd. Cor. 11:12-13, All of John chapter six; Mt. 7:21-23, 2nd. Tim. 4:1-4, 2nd. Tim.3:16-17, and 2nd. Peter 2:1-2.]
AND THIS IS only A PARTIAL LIST OF BIBLE PASSAGES THEY DO NOT ACCEPT., so it seems foolish to spend more time on this topic.
10. Traditions: Which is interesting from two perspectives. As the Bible was not completely written until the end of the First Century; and even then, it was not collected or widely available, although some individual writings were referenced from time to time,
so the Early Church HAD TO rely on Traditions and personal accounts [inspired by the Holy Spirit [John 14:26] ; and the second point is the VERY Bible,
they claim to follow admonishes the early Church to FOLLOW Traditions.
It ought not be a surprise that each of Thomas’ positions is based on a continuation of secular-humanistic-logic. Completely unguided by the Holy Spirit. There can only be a single truth per issue [applying logic here],
