The Roman Catholic church has seven sacraments and according to the official catechism of the church every one of the sacraments are necessary for salvation. The sacraments are: baptism, confirmation, eucharist, penance, anointing of the sick, holy orders and matrimony. These seven sacraments are nothing more than a series of good works. The Bible states repeatedly that good works will never save anybody yet the church says just the opposite. Will you believe God or man?
Romans 3:20 – Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
Isaiah 64:6 – But we are all like unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; we all fade as a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
If the sacraments of the Roman Catholic church are supposedly necessary for salvation and the sacraments are only available through the Catholic church then that means you must be a faithful member of the Catholic church to be saved. This is the official stance of the Catholic church as stated in their catechism but you’ll never hear any Catholic admit it. The sacraments of the church are manmade rules, the traditions established by men, that are not required for salvation according to God’s Word. Will you believe God or man?
Acts 5:29 – But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men.”
1 Corinthians 1:18 – For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
The clergy of the Catholic church are trying to keep their members in bondage to the church by setting up fake sacraments that threaten them with eternity in hell if they don’t comply. It’s clear in the Scriptures that only God can save your eternal soul and that precious gift is free to anyone simply for the asking. You don’t have to belong to a certain church or perform certain rituals or do good works or anything else. The Roman Catholic church can’t save you or prevent you from being saved. That is all nonsense. Men with vested interests in keeping their power over people’s lives and the money flowing into church coffers have decided these things. It’s contrary to God’s Word. Will you believe God or man?
John 8:47 – (Jesus speaking) – He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.
John 20:30-31 – And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.
