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’ “
3. The Devil is Real, active, cunning, duplicitous and builds on all
three vehicles to aid God in blocking RIGHT understanding of the Bible.
God with His motive and satan with his own reasons.
“One’s right” of self interpretation; despite it being clearly denied in the bible itself, is ignored and denied.
2nd. Peter 1: 16-21
“You will do well to pay attention to this as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts
. First of all you must understand this,
that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation,
because no prophecy ever came by the impulse of man,
but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.”( have you ever been moved by God?)
Matt.13:9-12 “He who has ears, let him hear."
Then the disciples came and said to him,
"Why do you speak to them in parables?"
And he answered them,
"To you
it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven
, but
to them
it has not been given.”
For to him who has will more be given,
and he will have abundance;
but from him who has not,
even what he has will be taken away. “
John 5: 37 “And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness to me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen;
and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe him whom he has sent.
You search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life;
and it is they that bear witness to me;
yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life
[Speaking of accepting the entire WORD of GOD].
I do not receive glory from men .
[Meaning disobedience is rampant!]
But I know that you have not the love of God within you.
I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me”
[Listen to or Obey Me!]
