One of the main differences between RCC and Protestants is that the RCC says Faith and Good Deeds are needed ?

Question

Actually that is what every Abrahamic Prophet before and after Jesus taught.


(RCC = Catholics)

.

Answer 1

Jesus says "be perfect as I am perfect". Good deeds are what follows after a wretch of a person like me, has been forgiven. My shame and my sorrow removed by my simple faith in Jesus, that he took the punishment that I deserved. A greatful, joy-filled, heart rejoices that my Jesus, my Messiah was dead and now is alive! After all of that...good works will follow, it's what happens when a man, unable to move for 38 years and then he has an encounter with Jesus. His life is changed!...He can walk,run, move on his own! He gives glory to God! His life is changed and good works will follow!

Answer 2

Not quite - there are many differences:
The Roman church believes that: the Pope as the vicar of Christ - Christians believe that the Bible is the ultimate authority (2 Timothy 3:16); that their traditions have equal authority with the Bible - Christians believe traditions of man cause error (Matthew 15:3); that Mary is co-regent of Jesus - Christians beleive that Mary was blessed, but human (Luke 11:27-28); that priests/Mary are mediators - Christians believe there that only Jesus is Mediator (1 Timothy 2:5); that transubstatiation recrucifies Christ at the communion - Christians believe Christ died once only (Hebrews 6:6); that Mary remained a virgin - Christians believe she had siblings (Mark 6:3); that the Pope can canonizes those to be called "saints" - Christians believe all believers are saints (Philippians 1:1); that Celibacy is enforced on priests and bishops - Christians believe they can be married (1 Timothy 3:2-5); that Peter was the first Pope and not married - Christians believe that was married (Mark 1:30); that Romanism encourages bowing down to graven images - idoatry - Christians do not do this (1 John 5:21); that Mary was without sin - Christians believe only Jesus was without sin (Romans 5:12); that justification is an anathema (Council of Trent) - Christians believe we are justified by faith (Romans 3:28); that Peter was the foundation (rock) of the church - Christians believe only Christ is that foundation Rock (1 Corinthians 3:11; 10:4).

Answer 3

I think that you missed a few things. Having faith in saints isn't having faith in God. So RCC's might have faith, but it's in pagan rituals.

Also Popes. Was the woman who was Pope and pregnant someone to listen to?

And then there is the fact that Peter was upstaged by Paul.

And then there is the fact that the RCC raped, murdered, and tortured Protestants: An obvious act of love.

Answer 4

There are some Protestant denominations who put an emphasis on works and preach that you can lose salvation, but it's true that most of us believe that we are saved by grace and not by good works; however, by accepting that salvation under grace, we are also accepting the responsibility to do good works in the name of Jesus, who did so many in His time here on Earth. And in fact, we usually enjoy it.

Answer 5

not true,RC have to trust the church with their souls,believers trust Jesus with theirs.
