I have lifed a statement ad verbatim from your posting here below:
The expression "means of SALVATION, whose power derives from the fullness of grace and truth that Christ has entrusted to the Catholic Church" here simply means Christ has entrusted the fullness of grace and truth to the Catholic Church. This was passed on to Protestant communities, though not in its entirety, because Protestants rejected some of it, the extent of which depends on their respective denominational traditions. The teachings are PLAIN and SIMPLE and TWISTED. The assumption is that the RC Church has the FULLNESS OF GRACE AND TRUTH. Protestant communities was PASSED (dispensed?) with this fullness by the RC Church, "but not in its entirety", because "Protestants have rejected some of it". IF salvation, based on RC traditions, require purgatory, the participation of the 7 sacraments, is available through co-redemptrix Mary, Hail Marys, indulgences etc, and the Protestant communities have rejected these teachings as heresies and anti-Bible, does not this mean "Half Saved"? Does not "passed on", however, "but not in its entirety" mean, only PARTS OF THE FULLNESS was dispensed by the RC? As stated by your article, "salvation derives its power from the fullness of grace and truth". If this is dispensed by the RC Church only in part, does this not mean that only part of the power of salvation is passed on? Part of Power, therefore part of salvation? One does not need to be a rocket scientist to figure this one out. Another problem with the RC dogma. The RC church has the power to either pronunce a man saved or condemned. A man is not justified by faith alone, as the scripture CLEARLY teaches, but must obey the dogmas and traditions of the RC Church. The RC Church can say that they accept Protestant commmunities as "brothers in Christ", but this does not imply that they are saved in Christ, as the RC definition is quite different. Given this, the RC statement is worthless as it is in error. AND THESE MISGUIDED TEACHINGS ARE REPEATED OVER AND OVER AGAIN IN THE ENTIRE ARTICLE! Please, Mr Tan, I can only come to 3 conclusions. Either you are an ignoramous, or totally blinded by the false teachings, or you are a dangerous person propagating half truths to mislead the precious believers. No reply needed? Of course. What can your deluge of postings reply to the plain fact of the heresy you are propagating?
