Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”. And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and ...

Theology does not save us. However, bad theology can hinder us from seeing, knowing, and experiencing the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Catholic Church claims to be the only true church established 2000 years ago by Jesus Christ. This claim however was rejected by the Reformers of the sixteenth century due to a number of differences betw...
In Christian theology, the most important questions that we will ever have to answer are those regarding salvation and justification. These are not mere disagreements that we can overlook and unify in. The core of Christianity is salvation by grace through faith in Christ alone. Anything other than this is a distortion of the beautiful gospel of Je...
Catholic theology teaches that baptism is a necessary element for salvation and it is performed after someone believes the gospel. The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that baptism is necessary for salvation (CCC 1257). In paragraph 977 of the Catechism we learn that it is the first and chief sacrament of the forgiveness of sins. Baptism ex...
The doctrine of purgatory is defined in the Catholic Encyclopedia as “a place or condition of temporal punishment for those who, departing this life in God’s grace, are, not entirely free from venial faults, or have not fully paid the satisfaction due to their transgressions.” In short, purgatory is a place of temporary punishment after death that ...
Praying to dead saints is something that Catholics differ on. Some actually pray to saints and some ask saints or Mary to pray for them. There is nowhere in Scripture where praying to dead saints or having them pray for you is instructed. Believers are taught in Scripture to pray to God alone. The exaltation of Mary is very alarming and it puts her...
According to the Catholic Encyclopedia “Penance is a sacrament of the New Law instituted by Christ in which forgiveness of sins committed after baptism is granted through the priest’s absolution to those who with true sorrow confess their sins and promise to satisfy for the same.” Penance teaches men and women to perform a series of works in order ...
Scriptural sufficiency is an important doctrine. Catholicism teaches that oral tradition is needed to know the doctrines of Christianity that are not included in Scripture. Catholicism also teaches that the Roman Catholic Church is needed to interpret the Bible for a clearer understanding of it. This brings us to the question, are the Scriptures su...
The Roman Catholic Church teaches that Mass is the re-presentation of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. Transubstantiation is the Roman Catholic teaching that during Mass when the priest blesses the bread and wine and does routine rituals, these items supernaturally transform into the body and blood of Jesus Christ, even though they look and taste the...
Verse 5. - We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely, i.e., gratis. No doubt this was an exaggeration on the part of the murmurers, but it is attested by classical writers that fish swarmed in the Nile waters, and cost next to nothing (Died. Sic., 1:36, 52; Herod., 2:93; Strabo, 17. page 829).
CHAPTER 3. 1 * Meanwhile Moses was tending the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian. Leading the flock beyond the wilderness, he came to the mountain of God, Horeb. * 2 There the angel of the LORD * appeared to him as fire flaming out of a bush. a When he looked, although the bush was on fire, it was not being consumed.
Verse 15. - And was there until the death of Herod.The Revised Version rightly joins this with the preceding, not with the following, clause. That it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying (Matthew 1:22, notes), Out of Egypt have I called (Revised Version, did I call) my Son (Hosea 11:1, "When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt").
