CHAPTER THREE GOD'S SALVATION: LAW AND GRACE 1949 Called to beatitude but wounded by sin, man stands in need of salvation from God. Divine help comes to him in Christ through the law that guides him and the grace that sustains him: Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for God...

There's quite a lot that is inaccurate in your post. You can check specifics using the CCC (Catechism of the Catholic Church).

It seems that your posts are a little bit dogmatic about alleged differences between Catholics and Protestants where following teaching is concerned. Is it, in your opinion, a virtue to create teaching unique to oneself rather than follow the teaching of one's Church? What do Catholics believe...

Isn't the above what is usually stated by Protestant denominational teachers? And isn't following Protestant denominational teaching rather similar to following anybody that claims to teach the truth? There isn't much to differentiate one group from another as far as their faithful following goes.

Welcome, have a good time chatting.

Are there any white people (of faith) in the bible, if so who?

Maybe after I buy an e-vehicle (some time in the distant future) I'll have a good UPS.

Frustrating isn't it? I'd like to have both, really, a nice copper landline and my internet on optic fibre.

I wish I did, I wish I had a landline that used the old copper wire technology, because the copper tech landline supplied its own power that was very stable and didn't drop out when there was a power loss. But in Australia landline just means a internet phone now, and internet phones depend on...

I do not think that you have a point.

What you have written is not right because it is only the first three councils that all branches of the ancient Church accept.

ECUMENICAL COUNCILS OF THE WEST — THE POPE CALLS ALL COUNCILS #9 Lateran I (1123) Condemned lay investiture The first Lateran Council, held at the Palace of Lateran in Rome, was called by Pope Callistus II with 300 bishops attending. The attendees affirmed and decreed that a monarch did not...

The councils of the Catholic Church provide a good record of how Christian doctrine has developed, largely in response to heresies and partly in response to internal debates on the meaning of the scriptures. Here is a summary of the twenty-one councils of the Catholic Church. The following is...

It is good to see a fellow Catholic here.

Do you think that converts from Protestantism to one or another of the Orthodoxies leads to the convert carrying over from Protestantism whatever prejudices and misapprehensions about Catholicism they had as Protestants to Orthodoxy?

Hello @Hadassah :)
