The One True Faith : The Reformation

Examine some of the causes of the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century as host Michael Voris details the havoc the errors of the Reformers have caused -- not the least of which is that hundreds of millions of souls have been led into heresy and are separated from the One True Faith established by Jesus Christ Himself.

As a Protestant, I want the Catholic Church to remain in Christ as well. But I think we only differ on the justification bit of our salvation, the Bible tells us that faith alone saves, not works. But works is part of sanctification which makes us more like Christ.

Catholics like to quote James, but James was talking about actions that affirmed someone's claim to faith, not as a determinant to salvation. Would I be correct?

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

@Music4urGlory The Bible uses the words "faith alone" ONCE to say man is NOT saved by faith alone. And James says, explicitly, we are saved by faith and works and calls those who deny it ignorant.

What about the argument that the Catholic Church was right until the 11th century and the reformation simply wanted to re-form the Catholic Church upon the doctrine of justification by faith, not start a new church?

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

@psalmblues I presume you mean the justification by faith ALONE, as that is the cornerstone of the Reformation? The answer would be found in James 2 - the only time the words "faith alone" appear in the Bible. They read that faith alone is NOT how one is saved, and specifically say one is saved by works. Any so-called "reformation" along those lines would be a denial of authentic truth and a new "church".

These are the kind of answers catholics need to hear as do our protestant brothers and sisters.

Awesome. Direct and to the point.

i believe that the protestant "reformation" is a false doctrine because Jesus Christ said "the gates of hell shall not prevail" against his church. So why need to "reform" something that this world,the flesh, and the devil cannot destroy" ?

@BeCkY58470 Bible alone (Sola Scriptura) is pure and utter heresy. You are worshiping an idol - the Bible is a book in which the reader must INTERPRET. If the reader is in a fallen, sinful state (i.e. all of us), then he or she is prone to ERROR, even if well-intentioned. Only the Holy Catholic Church, founded by Jesus upon St. Peter, has the AUTHORITY from Christ to interpret Scripture WITHOUT ERROR. He said so when He said that "The Gates of Hell shall not prevail against it".

@Grace1725 That's NOT what the verse says! Jesus specifically says to Peter "thou art a rock, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatsoever you bind on earth it shall be bound in heaven. Whatsoever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." Your interpretation does not come even close to fitting this verse! How can you say that Jesus was not talking to Peter?

People,People,People one of the main reasons luther removed the 7 books was because in the book of 2 Maccabees it says pray for the dead, therefore talking about purgatory, and the protestants didnt know what to say, so they removed both books of Maccabees, Only one true Church, Jesus said i will build my Church NOT CHURCHES. if people dont believe this, then they believe the gates of hell prevailed over Gods Church.The Roman Catholic Church is the True Bride Of Christ.

@joker52mlb How am I generalzing? I speak about the issue of the canon of the Bible - which Protestants change and Catholics did not. It is a completely accurate statement, and not redundant or subjective. Protestants DO use a Bible which is missing books, and Catholics do not.

[joker52mlb]

@SaintMichaelsMedia You're generalizing alot about Protestants brother. I am referring to: " because it is CLEAR from my other postings here Catholics DO take the Bible seriously - more seriously than Protestants, who pick and choose not only what they will INCLUDE in it, but also what they will listen to."

It's very redundant and subjective in that such collective oberservation of those who oppose Catholicism and call themself christian is generally an impossible task to accomplish.
