Corinthians 14:33 “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.”
The current Pope says the Catholic church now agrees with Protestants on justification (the main issue of the reformation), do you disagree that salvation is through faith alone? There is no competent exegesis of the Biblical canon that edorses any of the things you listed. Your Catholic church would kill real Christians for simply having a copy of the Lord's prayer in English. It was never about truth, it was about control. Christ teaches us that if we want to be great to become the servant of all, the Catholic church did the exact opposite and elevated a priestly class above the common people and hid God's Word from them. It shoved a false gospel of works down their throats and robbed them of the peace of their salvations. One of the most vile and debauch insitutions man has ever created. The devils sold indulgences to poor and naive peasants promising them salvation if they only make the coffers of the church a little fatter. They didn't even stop there, theu then taught that you needed to buy indulgences to get your dead loved ones out of purgatory. A literal fraud being conducted by the representatives of Christ on earth. Sick.
James 2:24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.
The Catholic church isn't even just wrong, it's demonic.
Martin luther rejects scripture he is one with satan
You misunderstand the passage. James is saying that He proves his faith by his works.
Have you read James 2 in context?
Yes without faith there is no salvation. But not on faith alone are you saved. Yes I have read James
"Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law."
-Romans 3:28
John 20:23, Jesus tells His disciples, “If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven."
^ the scriptural justification of confession
If you have saving faith, your heart is transformed and you have works, but works cannot save someone. Faith alone saves. This is why the just live by faith (Romans 1:17)
Living by faith results in good work for by their fruits you shall know them
Teaching to forgive isn't justification for confession. There's actually a passage in 1 John that literally says if we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us, but even that isn't saying to confess to a man who is elevated to an authority.
If you are not in communion with the church or the sacraments you have no faith
Lutherans actively reject the bride of christ you do not have faith in christs church
Church is a spiritual body of followers of Christ, not a demonic institution claiming to be it.
Lutherans schism is of the lack of believe in church authority the sacraments and the ability for God to keep the church from error
Your error is thinking than organization was/ever will be the church.
Peter is the rock of the church
Peter would rebuke the entire concept of the Catholic church.
You have no Apostolic succession, no authority, no love, no fruit, and no truth.
what would he rebuke
no you have no apostolic succession
The Catholic church is carnality dressed up like Spirituality.
15th century
where is the link with the saints
1500 years of God's church being wrong
do you not have faith in God to remove confusion
Apostolic succession as you understand it isn't Biblical.
Well how did saul become a apostle of christ
by authority of peter
The Catholic church was wrong (objectively) on many things. Do you support the selling of indulgences?
The selling of indulgences were abused but morally the concept is not wrong
There was always a real church. They were the ones your demonic organization was burning alive for having the Bible in their language.
no there wasn't you have made this up the catholic faith was the real church
I wan't evidence
You think indulgences are permitted? You think man has the authority to sell salvation? You think faith in Christ can be sold?
No the clergy who have inheritted the will of the apostles have the God given right to assign pennance for repenting of sins
if that is giving to charity or the work of the church
