Why isnt it obvious to those in RCC & similar false religions that salvation is by Faith Alone in Christ's Alone, since Scripture reveals it

Q: The Protestant theology of salvation; "trust in Jesus for salvation" seems to make so much sense to me, and it seems to be obvious from Scripture. But I really struggle to understand if it is this obvious , how did so many people end up in Catholicism? And have the billions of people who lived since Jesus time, who followed the Catholic Church all been damned to hell ? I really struggle with this.  A: God opens the eyes of those he will save. Unsaved people are blinded by their sin nature & Satan, Theyre spiritually dead; so they cannot comprehend. Scripture explains this. It is why it is important to read & study the Bible. Most dont desire to read or study it to find truth. Most dont even read it.  To this topic explain further and touching on what you asked:  Firstly, it doesn't matter what supposed version of "Christianity" someone aligns with, all false religions and churches are not of truth. I say that so those reading and asking the same Q but...

On the Gospel and the Inner Change that happens when God converts us

On the Gospel and the Inner Change that happens when God converts us The word “gospel” literally means “good news.” But to truly comprehend how good this news is, we must first understand the bad news. As a result of the fall of man in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:6), every part of man—his mind, will, emotions and flesh—have been corrupted by sin. Because of man’s sinful nature, he does not and cannot seek God. He has no desire to come to God and, in fact, his mind is hostile toward God (Romans 8:7). God has declared that man’s sin dooms him to an eternity in hell, separated from God. It is in hell that man pays the penalty of sin against a holy and righteous God. This would be bad news indeed if there were no remedy. But in the Gospel, God, in His mercy, has provided that remedy, a substitute for us—Jesus Christ—who came to pay the penalty for our sin by His sacrifice on the cross. This is the essence of the gospel which Paul preached to the Corinthians. In 1 Corinthians 15:2-4, he e...

The Gospel in every book of the Bible

The Gospel in every book of the Bible This revelation underscores the consistent message of redemption and hope found throughout Scripture, culminating in the person and work of Jesus Christ.  Each book contributes uniquely to the overarching narrative of God's redemptive plan. The below is an overview highlighting how each book reflects aspects of the Gospel: Old Testament 1. Genesis: Reveals humanity’s need for salvation [because of man's Fall from perfection into sin] and introduces God’s redemptive plan with the first promise of a Savior (Genesis 3:15). God's promise to Abraham continues to foreshadow the blessing being brought to mankind through Christ. 2. Exodus: Depicts deliverance from bondage, symbolizing salvation through the Passover lamb.  3. Leviticus: Details the sacrificial system, pointing to Jesus as the ultimate sacrifice for sin.  4. Numbers: Highlights God's guidance and provision, reflecting His faithfulness to His people.  5. Deuteronomy: Reit...

Plea to obey humbly examine the Gospel

Q: Why do I do wrong things? Why are they wrong? Why am I a sinner? What else is there than this life I know and live?  A: Good questuions. I will answer this.  The simple answer is that you live as you do [and with those desires and feelings] because humanity is trapped in a " sin nature."  This is because of the Fall in Eden [at the begining]. That is where man lost "the righteous nature." Thus, Jesus was promised to come [and has come already] to restore what was lost. And all who come to him for salvation and righteousness are indeed redeemed & restored.  From a biblical perspective, the Bible [which is God's Word to mankind] clearly declares sinners will live in wickedness because its all they can do [they're only free to sin]. So they desire to sin more and more (and also gravitate to specific sins). All sin is viewed as wicked "opposition" to God and his righteousness. The Scriptures clearly do address it as rebellion & abominati...

Feeling drawn to God & Christianity

Q: I have been feeling this feeling/need to open my heart to God and Jesus. I was baptized as a baby under the Catholic religion, but my mom did it only because that's what everyone was doing back then whether you believed in it or not. After that I was raised basically in an Atheist household. I feel ready to start this journey, but feel lost and disoriented. I don't know where to start. Can you give some clarity and reassurance here, because I don't know anyone who can help guide me on the right path. Thx. A: Sure. And praise God he is drawing you to Himself. 🎉 Here's a quick help.  1. Obey the Gospel (to get saved) Then... living out your faith: 2. Find a bible church (to join) 3. Get Baptized 4. Read Bible daily, (apply what you learn) 5. Worship every Sunday with believers The 1st thing to do is to hear and obey the Gospel . Go here   (vid clip). If you do this, you are saved.  The next thing is to start reading the Bible . There are 66 books in the Bible so...

What does it mean to "be saved"?

What Does It Mean to Be “Saved”? People might tell you that you need to be saved. But do you feel like you’re only getting half the story? Are you like me? I get tired of sitting down in the middle of something like a story, show, etc. and wondering what’s going on. I think most people feel like this when they hear about Jesus for the first time. In my past, I would hear things like: “Good news! Good news! Here’s how to get saved: Believe in Jesus!!” I was thinking, “Saved from what? Jesus who?” Obviously, there was something missing in the approach that these well meaning Christians used with me, and it is important, then, to learn to be better witnesses. Perfect Creation . . . Then the Bad News First of all, it’s tough to understand the good news of being saved if you don’t understand the bad news. So let’s go back to the beginning. In the beginning, God created everything: Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”[1] When God created everythin...

If people could see Hell for a second

If people could see Hell for a second, wouldnt they turn to Jesus & get saved?  Scripture speaks on Hell & they can read it there. We also see the seriousness of it across Scripture and in all of Revelation.  If they understood sin theyd make sure they were saved. We need to present the gospel well in order to do that. It is why the unsaved from the world who found their way into a church arent the only mission field there, church is full of false converts who claim to be believers, so theres a mission field but their salvation wont likely happen without a revival. Unless they  see their need for righteousness  after hearing of the perfect Holy God, they will not want him now nor when in Hell.  I was watching a Ray Comfort witnessing video ytd, and thinking about when we share,  we could ask them  to close their eyes and think about how horrible Hell would be (list some things while eyes shut or before), and have them do the same when you get t...

Updated: Dec 17, 2025 Bookmark this page <<<<<< This area will be reorganized in better flow Welcome! Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever.  Daniel 12:3 EVANGELISM God has told us to “Go into all the world and preach the gospel.” That might sound a little scary as a new believer, but you cant help but want to tell others about their need for salvation (you have been saved and should desire to help others get saved). You can get simple training on how to share the gospel, and can also use tracts.  Links to sample witnessing encounters will help boost your confidence and remove fears as you go.  A lot of times we know Scripture, have some verses memorized but just dont know how to start convos. There's various ways to start gospel convos. Sometimes you relate it to whats in a chit chat, other times you intentionally bring up about the n...
