Jesus of the Bible vs. Jesus of the Roman Catholic Church
Website design By BotEap.comIn the books of Matthew and Mark, Jesus asks his disciples: “Who do you say that I am?” Through wrong speculations, his disciples are not sure except Simon Peter. “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Website design By BotEap.comEvangelicals and Catholics agree with Jesus’ response to Simon. They both say that he came to this earth as a baby whose mother was still a virgin while she was pregnant. Furthermore, Christ lived a sinless holy life and died for the sins of the world. Three days later, he rose from the dead.
Website design By BotEap.comThe biblical Jesus died a sick death on the cross, after being impaled on both wrists and both feet. Furthermore, God poured out His total wrath on Jesus. Before Christ died, he said, “It is finished.” (John 19:30) for the complete remission of sins. He rose again on the third day. Evangelicals call this the Gospel. If you believe in the Gospel, accept Jesus and your Savior, you will go to heaven when you die.
According to the Roman Catholic organization, Jesus died on the cross, but did not fully pay for all sins. Catholicism has accumulated many traditions and rituals. The most important is the “Mass” in which the congregation worships a “bloodless” Jesus in the form of a host that literally becomes the body of Jesus that the congregation consumes to give thanks to Jesus for the partial remission of sins . Essentially, they participate in this event called the “Eucharist” to accept Jesus as a “bloodless” sacrifice. Catholics should participate in this ritual at least every week because the more they participate, the closer they will be to heaven when someone dies. Website design By BotEap.comAlthough Jesus is the indisputable Son of God, Catholics believe that his mother, the Virgin Mary, participates with Jesus to save souls as “co-redemptrix” or “co-redemptrix”. Usually she is personified as a statue or painting of herself, or with a baby Jesus. Many Catholics are taught to pray to Mary using “rosary beads.” This object helps the faithful to keep track of a certain number of prayers to Mary. Website design By BotEap.comRoman Catholics are awash in tradition, with many works they must follow to get to heaven when they die. These works and traditions are recorded in a book called “Catechism.” This book has been expanded over time. Their traditions have been growing for about 1,800 years, 200 years after Christ ascended to heaven.

He is considered “infallible” in what he says, which is another characteristic that is uniquely given to God. Website design By BotEap.comBiblical Christianity does not include any of the earlier beliefs of Roman Catholicism. In fact, the Roman organization teaches that doing more and more works will get a person to heaven. However, if a dead person who was a “good” Catholic does not go to heaven, that person must spend time in an imaginary place called “purgatory.” Then they can go to heaven. Website design By BotEap.comThe Bible’s message about going to heaven is fully rooted in accepting Christ as your Savior by believing in His finished work on the Cross. It is only through grace by faith that we can get to heaven: Website design By BotEap.com“It will be reckoned to those of us who believe in the One who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, who was delivered for our offenses and rose again for our justification (Romans 4: 24-25). Justified by faith, we have peace with each other. God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we also have access by faith to this grace in which we are, and we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. ” (Romans 5: 1-2). Website design By BotEap.comCatholicism has greatly distorted the concept of salvation. God does not like these distortions. In fact, if a person follows its teachings, they are condemning themselves to hell when they die. By believing in the consummate sacrifice of Christ, one can be assured of going to heaven.
