Follow-up on Kennedy/Pope letter

.
I've been asked - so what do you have against Catholics. My answer - nothing.

As long as you understand that being a Catholic won't save you; it won't condemn you either. No church or organized religion will do either of those things.

In John 14:6, Jesus said "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

Based on this verse of scripture, anyone trying to get to heaven because they are a good Catholic, (or a good Methodist, or a good Baptist, etc) will fail. There's only one way to heaven and that is through a personal relationship with Jesus.

Rituals, traditions, communion, baptism, works, none of those will get you to heaven. Any church who allows you to believe that is wrong.

Find a church that preaches the Word, that calls people into a personal relationship with Christ, and that then trains them in their faith (based on Scriptural principles). If it does these things, then the denomination doesn't matter.
