Many (most?) Roman Catholics believe things about Jesus, but do not believe in Him alonefor salvation. Rather, they trust in the unbiblical Roman Catholic church. They also trust in their “good” works, water baptism, taking the Lord’s Supper and “Mass”–instead of believing in Jesus alone as Jesus and the Bible tell them to do.
(Good works are things for people to do after they become believers, saved by faith in Jesus.)
Roman Catholicism is a false anti-Christian religion that teaches that man is saved by his own “good works..”
This is why Roman Catholics are not saved, why they are not Christian, and why they are not going to Heaven when they die, even though they believe many good things about Jesus. (The same holds true about Mormons and Jehovah Witnesses. Even Buddhists mention and honor Jesus in their religion, but they do not believe in Him as God and Savior.
Salvation is the possession of those who *have believed in Jesus alone for salvation*.
Unbelieving Roman Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Atheists, Satanists, Agnostics, and Secularists are all going to Hell because they do not have Jesus. Jesus is the only way to God and Heaven.
If these do not believe in Jesus, they will all go to Hell the minute they die.
“He that believeth not (in Jesus) shall be damned.” -The Lord Jesus Christ in the Gospel of John
Brother Curtis,
While I believe most of your article, I think you need to be a little cautious about condemning them all to hell…Who is to say that some may actually find Jesus in the Bible in such a way that it causes them to “come out of her my people”…
Curious about going to hell as soon as they die…Would you mind supplying some scriptures please?…In Luke 23, the thief asks Jesus to remember him when He comes in His kingdom…Jesus tells him on that day that He would be with Him in paradise…That was that day we call Friday…Yet, in John 20, we see Jesus telling Mary that He has not yet been to the Father…I believe it is Biblical to say that the Father is in Heaven…
If you say that Jesus took the thief to heaven/paradise on Friday, how could He tell Mary that He had not been to heaven yet, and this was the day we call Sunday?…3 days later?…hmmmmmmmmmmmmm….
Reply please…..
God bless…

Hi,
Jesus’ words that you are saved through belief in Him, the only Son of God, are not opinion. Jesus has all knowledge.
While I agree that the Roman Catholic church in general has had a lot of problems with teaching correct Biblical doctrine, and that many members of this denomination will go to hell because they have not been taught that they need to be born again, I don’t think that you will be winning any of them over with this article! There are also people sitting in churches where the Bible is clearly taught, who will also go to hell for the same reason!
To Lonewolf: I agree that this article is offensive and mean-spirited, but the doctrine is Biblically sound. Faith does not give a license to sin. It gives us freedom from the slavery of sin. Adolf Hitler might have believed that Jesus existed and that he is the Son of God, but the Bible says that even the demons believe that there is a God, and they shudder! Putting our faith in Jesus is more than an intellectual belief, it changes our hearts.
You are so right. Everybody is going to Hell except us. We are the chosen ones based on our own interpretation of the Bible. Anybody who says different is clearly misinformed.
