Catholic FAQ #10: Do Catholics believe they are the only ones who will go to Heaven?

[chubbtm5]

More Catholic arrogance. Yawn. 

[HelloIsiiii]

Since Jesus was a Jew isn't jewisim the best way to get to haven?

[OutsidedaBoxNFP]

@HelloIsiiii Salvation comes by grace through faith in Christ...alone. Religion can guide us toward that, but not give it to us. As it says in The Acts of the Apostles (4:12), "There is no salvation through anyone else, nor is there any other name under heaven given to the human race by which we are to be saved."

[thegroove2000]

Religion is a total fiction.

[nintendo768]

To say all this quicker. The requirements of heaven are:

1. Repentance

2. Belief

3. Relationship.

[MANinSUIT1]

if you believe you can work your way to heaven,then your saying that Jesus christs blood wasnt good enough,all you have to do is accept what he did

[SuperGreenbone]

"catholicsm is the truest way to Christ"????

So I guess Jesus is just the "true" way huh? not the "truest"?

[adamdanielman]

@SuperGreenbone ?.... but Jesus is Christ.

[bulyabalive]

This teaching is totally false. How can there be some truths [of Jesus] in false religions? Hindus, Buddists, Islam, New age, etc worships another god! They don't worship the God of the Bible. How do one expect them to find Jesus the Truth somehow through the way of this life? And even more confusing in this talk, how can they find the truth in after life? This man is misrepresenting Christianity, if he is one!

[braulmon]

@bulyabalive what he means is if theyve never heard of christianity.

[infernocanuck]

@bulyabalive You're right. Since he said something that you can't wrap your head around, what he says must be false, and on top of that, he must not be a Christian. Why should you look into this theology any more? It's so much easier to dismiss it.

[Hosannafication]

I dont agree with him, does that make me a bloody heretic worthy of death?

[Choose2Connect]

@Hosannafication yes it does! jk :P

[Hosannafication]

This is blasphemy

[TheAsooma101]

Good father! The bible says that he who "hears" the gospel but rejects it will most likely not go to heaven.But to "hear" the gospel means to take in your heart and accept it as truth.So for those who were born in non-christian families, they never got the chance to "hear" the gospel.Thats why we as christians will be judged harder. Bottomline, if you accept Jesus and live you life accordingly to the truth, you will be saved.For those who are in a different boat, they will be judged differently

[bf7045]

You are wrong Therefore, ‘without a doubt, they will perish forever, unless they hold the Catholic faith whole and inviolate” (Athanasian Creed). Pope Pius IX, Ubi primum (# 10), June 17, 1847: “For ‘there is one universal Church outside of which no one at all is saved

[MoDeeSeventyThree]

What do I have to be saved from?

[bf7045]

Pope Innocent III, Fourth Lateran Council, Constitution 1, 1215, ex cathedra:

“There is indeed one universal Church of the faithful, outside of which

nobody at all is saved

[caddy505]

@biggrinstudios so if you can ask Mary or someone who was holy or close to Jesus, couldn't you ask a deceased loved one who you are very sure is in heaven to pray with you about a lost or struggling family member or friend? Thanks in advance. By the way, I'm Protestant so I don't know that much about these things. God bless you.

[BigGrinStudios]

@caddy505 Absolutely. The Church is larger and more alive than we think. It is made up of all men and women who have placed their hope in Christ and belong to him through Baptism, whether they have already died or are still alive. Because in Christ we are one Body; we live in a communion that encompasses heaven and earth. We CAN help one another even beyond the grave and are invited to call on those whom we believe are already with God to carry our needs to the Him in prayer.

[raydredX]

@BigGrinStudios 1:53 Would I go to Heaven too if I was a person of good will but lived by no faith? I'm curious. Thank you.

[BigGrinStudios]

@raydredX No human being can answer this question. Does the person of 'good will' truly live without faith? Does a person who decidedly lives without faith really want to go to heaven?

[savedbygrace2001]

@raydredX Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life. No person will get into heaven unless he goes thru me", John 14:6. Jesus said, "Unless you are born again, you will not see the kingdom of God", John 3:3. "For whosoever shall call upon the Lord(Jesus) shall be saved" Romans 10:13. Satan causes confusion by creating many false religions which are all based on our good deeds. God is "not the Author of confusion", 1 cor. 14:33 Trust only in Jesus who took our sin punishment.

[savedbygrace2001]

@raydredX Salvation is through faith alone! Trust in Jesus only. Everything else is a lie.Ephesians 2:8,9; Titus 3:5

[brandonsean123]

I was born a Protestant but i am now going through classes to become a full Catholic I ask St.Michale and our Blessed Mother to pray for me and my friends say that its idolatry but they ask me to pray for them isnt that the same thing ? I really need some help on this one i would deeply appreciate it Thank you and may God bless you :D

[BigGrinStudios]

@brandonsean123 Don't worry, it's not idolatry. If you adored St. Michael or Mary like you did God, that would be idolatrous. But you're not. You're just asking then to pray for you. Your Protestant friends might be confused by this and ask, "Why not just pray to Jesus?" The answer is you ARE praying to Jesus. You're just asking Mary and Michael to pray with and for you. Ask your friends if they ever asked someone to pray for them about something. This is the same thing.

[HiDefJesus]

@brandonsean123 No it is not the same thing. Mary is dead and can not hear your prayer requests. Plain and simple. This does not mean she can't pray in Heaven, it just means she isn't omnipresent like God. Your friends on the other hand are alive and can hear your requests.

[BigGrinStudios]

@HiDefJesus See my response to @caddy505 above. What is your source of truth for arguing against the ability of those in heaven to hear those on earth and pray on their behalf? Are you aware of any passages in Scripture to support your claim? For certain, only God is omnipresent. Being able to hear from Heaven does not have anything to do with omnipresence - being in all places at all times. Those who have been received into God's eternal Kingdom hear from THAT location. Peace!

[gothicavictoria1341]

@HiDefJesus That is where you are wrong. Everyone who is in Heaven is in fact living in spirit. Matthew 22:32, 'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.' And if Jesus is alive in Heaven why shouldn't His saints and holy ones be the same way?

[gothicavictoria1341]

@HiDefJesus Matthew 22:31, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

[underthegodful]

amen 

[jesusnava55]

I have a question? When he says if there is someone across the ocean who have never herd of Christianity, but trying to live their life the best that they can. Is there a scripture for that. Because i had the same question and have been looking for it all over the bible, and cant seem to find it. I am a new Christian with all sorts of questions, All I know is that the only way to get to the Father is through Jesus Christ by faith Ephesians 2:8-9, John 14:16, Romans 10:9-10.

[puertopensee]

Thank you! A breath a fresh air. I was listening to this Michael Voris on youtube and was severely discouraged by his rhetoric. This seems a lot closer to message Jesus and our Blessed Mother would say. Thanks again.

[ktkatbugg]

I love these videos :)

[kingwaja]

Thanks for all the videos. Using a social platform like this for evangelisation is very good. We can't here all these during homily. So I find all these videos very encouraging. Please keep up!

[kingwaja]

thanks for this
