I don't need to discuss politics with George or whatever flora from this forum, I came to this website with the hopes of saving souls, and as far as I can tell I'm not doing a good job,.... you made the false accusation that I believe in ufo's rather than Christ, so of course I take offense ,apology accepted
I converted to Holy Orthodoxy from the Roman Catholic church and I am saved thank you very much.
even the protestants believe they are saved, just because they believe it doesn't make it so, and to be frank deep down I do hope you are saved , I hope my good friends and family will be saved who don't practice the catholic faith to it's fullest , but after all the research I just don't see how it's possible, I believe the few are saved and I can only hope I will be saved, I'm not scared of anything in life any more except that I won't be saved....my salvation isn't secure because as the blessed Paul said we should work out our salvation with fear and trembling, so I do fear it, I think you should too
Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, “Cantate Domino,” 1441, ex cathedra:
“The Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes and preaches that all
those who are outside the Catholic Church, not only pagans but also Jews or
heretics and schismatics, cannot share in eternal life and will go into the
everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels, unless they
are joined to the Church before the end of their lives; that the unity of this
ecclesiastical body is of such importance that only for those who abide in it do
the Church’s sacraments contribute to salvation and do fasts, almsgiving and
other works of piety and practices of the Christian militia produce eternal
rewards; and that nobody can be saved, no matter how much he has given
away in alms and even if he has shed blood in the name of Christ, unless he
has persevered in the bosom and unity of the Catholic Church.”5
