What do you mean by Jesus and the gospel?
What exactly is the good news that a catholic must believe about Jesus?
Now I dont usually share private information or photos on social media like this, but feel compelled to share. The photo is of a woman whom I love with my whole being (long story not for here). I sent this photo via text message to a 58 year old catholic woman who has been involved in the catholic church since a very young age. its her whole life. Anyway, a few days later, she calls me , accuses me of sending blasphemous erotic photos, and misquotes scripture to try and convince me unless I repent I will be a lost soul! I have known the lord since early primary school, so I know him far better than she does. Annoyed? You bet I am! And this to me summarises catholics to a T.

If religion could effect forgiveness of sin you would have a case to argue. As such you remain in darkness and separated from God in your sin.
You cannot abide in Him whom you do not know. No amount of sacraments can bridge the gulf between man and God. You cannot persevere when you are already dead. You must be born again. You must be saved by grace through faith into Christ.
The merits of Mary are of no consequence in the matter of salvation. Only after Mary recognized Jesus as Messiah did she receive forgiveness of her sin and inherit eternal life.

Do you remember the parable in Luke 18:13 which Jesus gave to those which trusted in themselves that they were righteous and despised others?
In this your post, you are sounding like the Pharisee who stood and prayed thus with himself, God I thank you that i am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers or even this publican---------- you can read the rest.
You seem to have taken the place of God. Who are you oh man to judge? A little humbling is required. just a little.
Your remarks on the mother that brought into the world our Lord and Saviour is very pitiable to say the least.

I may have offended your sense of self righteousness but I am not the one who does not comprehend the marvelous grace of God. I am just like every other man in that I was born a sinner and could not save myself. No amount of remorse could erase even a single sin I had sinned. It required the blood of Jesus Christ to atone for my sin. Nothing else would satisfy the wrath of God.
I have faced God and asked for forgiveness that I could never merit. No pride no self righteousness just a realization of how offensive my sin was to a holy and righteous God. Your attempt to make me seem like yourself is pathetic. Look into Gods word and see yourself as God sees you.

I haven't judged anyone. But you think I have ? I haven't posted anything about Jesus' mother that isn't true according to Sacred Scripture. It shouldn't offend you
Really? A Savior is born!
Jesus is God Our Savior primarily as He said. He came to save us from our sins. He came so that sins may be forgiven.
To confirm, It seems you are using John 20:31 there?
It makes sense since the Catholic Church is probably the only church that follows John 20:23
Isn't the catholic church the only organization that believes their priests have the power to absolve one from their sins?
Well, the Eastern Orthodox Priests have the authority to apply Christ's power to forgive sins.
Okay, so back to the original question, where did you get that gospel message from? Is it from John 20:31?
They, as well as Catholic priests have USURPED that authority. It is simply invalid.
Even while the apostles were on earth their authority was to adjudicate sins committed within churches. Not to absolve individual sinners, but to either rule (a) that the sin was real, or (b) that the sinner had repented, or (c) to bring divine judgment on the unrepentant. But those churches did not have (a) confessionals , (b) human priests, and (c) absolution of sins by men.
Sorry Pal, No Human Being Has The Power To Forgive Sin.
A Personal Confession To Jesus Christ Directly, No Confessions To The Drunk Priest Are Needed.
1 John 2:1-2KJV
1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
I wasn't thinking of a bible verse.
I wrote what came to mind .
Is John 20:31 your Gospel message?
you too often think you know what's in my mind, because us Catholics are so ignant. You again 'misrepresent' what I said.
Read carefully
Yeah...that's why he gave the Apostles the power to bind and loose sins. Here ya go boys.....no one will need it because when it comes to that it will be as if I never left.....us know I'll take that back ..my Church ain't gonna need it.... They can come straight to me.....in fact who needs the Church....Just pretend I'm still there
No, I believe the only gospel that saves today is 1 cor 15:1-4
Do most Catholics believe that too?
