I have questions for Catholics: Did you eat Jesus today? Does that mean you're saved? If you died tonight, would you go to heaven? If you pooped and then died before eating Jesus again, would you go to hell?
He doesn't force us, but He gives us the power to be able to do those things; it is through Him that we are saved, not by anything that we have done. The focus should always be on Him, rather than on us.
Hi..I think I answered this in one of my recent replies but what do you mean by "our part"? Yes...we are "doing" those things...but again where do we get the POWER to "do" those things? From God....our salvation is in the hands of God from begining to end. For example...you live your life every day right? But could you live your life every day if it was not for God who was keeping you alive? Hope this helps...Pastor Lassman
hi pastor, I commented on the saved video as well. I see what you are saying, but you said jesus done his part, are you saying that we do not have a part at all because that would be tag team? Would our part not be going to church, getting baptized, receiving the word, believing, and accepting what has been done for us? please explain. Thanks!!!
Hello, what bothers me about protestant teaching is that we should NOT believe that God creates anything dead, therefore I feel you should know the truth from a Catholic perspective. We have a human nature that is GOOD because we are created in God's own image and likeness. Therefore we are essentially good, but we do bad things. We have fallen into original sin, but God does not create anything bad. Yes, free will is very biblical. Just look at the 10 commandments.
Would God gives us commandments if we didnt have the free will choice to follow them? Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. (James 4:17). We are given the choice to do as we please, that is why sin exists. We freely choose to sin just as we freely choose to do good. Would God really allow all the bad things in the world to happen as if we are his puppets. I hope you realize how much we would lack purpose if we didnt have free will.
Hi..when it comes to spiritual matters there is no free will because humans are born into this world spiritually dead and blind. (oringal sin). So they have some free will in some worldly matters..but not spiritual matters. That's why faith and salvation are by God's grace and a gift..Pastor Lassman
Instead of Christianity in general, let's talk about the focus of your video: faith. Let's talk about the failures of faith in history. Let's talk about the library at Alexandria and how faith destroyed that seed of reason and knowledge. How faith continued to suppress the light for over a thousand years until people like Galileo and Kepler.
Let's now actually talk about what faith is. Faith is belief in something for which there is not evidence and often where the evidence indicates otherwise. Faith is not a gift. Faith is not enlightening. Faith is antithetical to reason.
Sure, some Christians have done good things in the past but it wasn't because of faith. It was because of reason.
You said that you don't know what faith is except that it's not reasonable. It is unfortunate that you feel it's your privilege to handicap the minds of children with faith.
It is sad that there are still plenty of people who spend their lives trying to convince themselves and others of the virtues of being irrational. Time and again reason has shown itself to be a catalyst for the betterment of mankind. Faith has only stood as an impediment to reason, to justice, to knowledge. We would be 1000 years further along were it not for the absurdities of people like you.
You know what. You don't know what you are talking about. Yes, I am aware of the shortcomings of Christianity and it's failures in history. But your one side attack gives no evidence of knowing what any secular, scholarly book on Western Christianity would tell you: The Christian Church contributed many good things to Western Civilization. .....Pastor Lassman

(1) Dear pastor, sorry, but my English Language is not good! But, I'm going to try to write some words. First, congratulations for your ministry. It's fantastic! Thanks for your words. (continuous...)

The wasteful thing is that there are many people to this day that continue to endorse faith over reason.
