Which way to Heaven is right ?????

Protestantism or Catholicism ??????

Answer 1

Mother Theresa was a Catholic. All religions have their very best and their very worst. God will choose but, it is better to stick with the religion he himself organized, The Catholic religion.

Answer 2

Both Protestantism and Catholicism are forms of Christianity, and Christianity is the way to heaven. Both are "right" but both forms of Christianity tend to cloud the facts of the Christian Gospel by focusing on other things as well.

Protestantism you describe incorrectly - Mother Teresa was a Catholic, and she is a better example for Catholicism, in which one's works play a bigger role in determining the "end". Protestantism attributes salvation to a "born-again" experience which happens to a Christian believer once and needs not be repeated, and needs not be followed by perfection in works; however, the Protestants believe that one who is truly born-again would naturally follow with mostly "good" works, but will still be capable of sin and will still sin (just not as much as when he was not saved).

So both are "right", both are actually in agreement on the very basic concept that salvation comes by faith alone in Christ, and that Christ is God, and that Christ died to redeem us of our sins, and that Christ rose again and is alive. Those are the essentials of Christianity. Every Church, Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox, tends to focus on other aspects so the basic essentials seem clouded to the outsider, but all are basically in agreement about the "right" way to heaven.

Answer 3

Blasphemy in the Bible is defined as a man making himself God and saying that he can forgive sins. John 10:33, Luke 5:21, Matt.23: 9, 1Tim.2:5 There is one mediator in heaven....Jesus.

John 7:17 is talking about knowing what is truth or not....it is saying that if you want to know God's will, you will know what is truth.

John 17:17 says that God's Word is truth.

John 8:32 says that we will know the truth.

2 Timothy 2:15 says to study God's Word to show ourselves approved unto God

Isaiah 28:9,10; 1 Corinth 2:13 tells us HOW to study the Bible by comparing line upon line...comparing scripture in the same subject and by comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.

John 16: 13,14 gives us a promise that the Holy Spirit will quide us into all truth.

Revelation 22:14 tells us that the ones who will go to heaven are the ones that keep God's commandments....ALL of them!

Answer 4

at the beginning, Catholics do no longer worship Mary. We venerate Mary. as quickly as we are saying prayers to Mary, we are honestly soliciting for her intercession previously God, only like we'd ask a pal to wish for us. additionally, we are able to admit directly to God, however the priest acts interior the guy of Christ to intercede for us. only as Christ would desire to tell somebody, "Your sins are forgiven", he gave the apostles the flexibility to do an identical, and our perception is that clergymen take the workplace of the apostles. basically, Catholicism is in accordance with the two scripture and custom (custom contains issues like the doctrine on Mary being with out sin and the extra desirable 4 sacraments that Protestantism does no longer have: Reconciliation, affirmation, Holy Orders, and Anointing of the ill). Protestants disagree on the assorted classic concerns and have faith in scripture on my own; regardless of the undeniable fact that, different sects interpret scripture in a different way because of the fact there is not any "good" interpretation like the Magisterium factors for Catholics.

Answer 5

.
>Which way to Heaven is right ?????

The ONLY Way .... Jesus Christ.
Jesus said: I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father but by Me.

Christianity -- is following His words and walking in His ways.

Protestantism -- proclaiming the Truth of Scripture [pro: for test:testifying] Protestantism is NOT protesting against anything; it is pro-testing for things.

Answer 6

No "ism" will get you there.
John 14:1-6
1 "Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me.
2 "In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.
3 "If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.
4 "And you know the way where I am going."
5 Thomas said* to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?"
6 Jesus said* to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

John 3:16-19
16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
17 "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
18 "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 "This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.

Answer 7

Since you are obviously a Protestant, let me give you another definition:
Protestantism - Does not believe Jesus when He said 'this is My Body'.

Catholicism - Does not emphasize enough that prayer to Mary is NOT Worship of Mary, but only communication, as with any living saint.

Answer 8

...Neither. The Bible declares, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved." No religious system, Protestant or Catholic, will get you to Heaven.
...The Lord Jesus Christ can - He said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, but through Me." John 14:6
...Hebrews 7 tells us, "Hence, also, He is able to save forever (to the uttermost) all who come to God by Him, since He ever lives to make intercession for them.
...Trust Jesus first; then ask His help to become part of a good Bible-teaching, Christ-honoring church.
...Whosoever will, may come.

Answer 9

I think you have this backwards.

Protestants are always talking about how they are saved and because they are saved, they live a life that continues Jesus' work in this life.

Catholics believe that they are in the process of being saved and part of being saved is living a life that continues Jesus' work in this life.

To answer your question of "Which way to Heaven is right?", let me quote Scripture:

There was a scholar of the law who stood up to test him and said, "Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

Jesus said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read it?"

He said in reply, "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself."

He replied to him, "You have answered correctly; do this and you will live."

Luke 10: 25-28

Answer 10

In all major religions, the followers strive to rid themselves of sin through various practices. They may pray in a prescribed way, do various good works, deny themselves legitimate sexual pleasure, follow dietary restrictions, lie on beds of nails, etc. The uniqueness of Jesus is shown in His statement, "The Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins." No other religious leader has ever made this claim. Jesus Christ alone can wash away every sin anyone has ever committed, be-cause of what He did on the cross. By paying the penalty for our sin, He can release us from the torture of guilt. We cannot do anything in the way of religious works to wash away our sins. Forgiveness is a free gift of God (Ephesians 2:8,9).

Answer 11

I don't agree with Protestantism or Catholicis that u mentioned above.

I'm sure that nobody is perfect enough to go to heaven by their action. Please face the fact, that nobody perfect in this world.

Only Jesus Christ is perfect. But He choose to die to take our part (condemnation of sin). So, by believing in Him, we proclaim that we're belong to Christ.
Christ is accepted, therefore everyone who believe in Him also accepted.

God bless
