Forgiveness Cannot Be Found In Catholicism But Catholics Can Be Forgiven!

If you have been reading my blog posts for any length of time then you know that I believe in the absolute free grace of God found only through faith alone in Christ alone. If you are trusting in the saving work of Jesus Christ on the cross to be sufficient payment for your sins then you are saved, born again, justified, sanctified and soon to be glorified! But this is not what the Catholic church has been teaching for centuries.
In 1544 the Roman Catholic church formulated a doctrinal statement of beliefs called the Council of Trent. To this day the Catholic church has never refuted the position of that council.  In Canon 9 of this document they make the following statement concerning those like myself who teach and believe in "faith alone" in Christ alone.

CANON 9:  "If any one saith, that by faith alone the impious is justified; in such wise as to mean, that nothing else is required to co-operate in order to the obtaining the grace of Justification, and that it is not in any way necessary, that he be prepared and disposed by the movement of his own will; let him be anathema." 

1. "Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin," (Rom. 3:20).
2. "Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus," (Rom. 3:24).
3. "Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law," (Rom. 3:28).
4. "For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness," (Rom. 4:3).
5. "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ," (Rom. 5:1).
6. "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God," (Eph. 2:8).
7. "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost," (Titus 3:5).

Clearly, the Catholic church does not believe that a man, woman, boy or girl can be saved by simply believing on Jesus. But can the Catholic church, which is riddled with false doctrine and false teachers, be trusted when it comes to the most important thing in all the world (your eternal destiny)?
I don't think so. I urge you to keep an open mind and listen to the following former Catholic in this video which has had nearly 28,000 views in the last two years!

This man clearly believes that he is saved because he repented (realized he was a lost sinner) and believed on the Lord Jesus Christ as his own Savior. I was so blessed as I watched this video that I just felt that I had to share it on this site. Time is short, chances are running out to find forgiveness in the person and work of Christ. If you are trapped in the mire of Catholicism you can find forgiveness. Recognized that you are on the wrong path, acknowledge that you are a wretched sinner and believe in Christ to save you. Do it today, do it right now.
