Sola Scriptura part 2

Here is the fresh reply to me by a Protestant. Well this is after the doctrinal dance...Do you know what is "doctrinal dance?" It is mind to mind tactics to scare Catholics; its a race of the minds...But Catholics must be eager to lift one heavy question to another. Then throw a catapult of questions coming from Protestant shallow theology.

After a long response I gave him (which you can check from part1) this is only reply I got:

Paul Cesar Duran

Archie,

If your hope is in God, why do you sound as if you're uncertain about this hope of yours?

Bonnie,

I read the Bible because in it I learn to grow more in being Christlike. Jesus Christ is the foundation of the truth. When I read the Bible, I learn things which were not taught me when I was younger. Jesus Christ is the absolute truth.
Peter's foundation was also rooted upon a rock, and that rock is Christ. My Christian faith is also rooted in Jesus Christ.

and I told him....

Archie Gene Gallardo

Paul,

My hope is in God....Thus I could say;

We are saved.... because in 2 Cor 5:17 "So whoever is in Christ is a new creation"...I firmly believe that what Jesus Christ died for our sin and rose from the dead...

We are being saved...as a Catholic we hold strongly on oral and written Tradition...
1 Cor 15:2 " Through it (the gospel) you are also being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you, unless you believed in vain."

We will be saved...that we place our hope and confidence that God will give us the grace of perseverance; that we may respond to it; and accept his gift of salvation until the hour death.

This acknowledges the third meaning the words "saved" and "salvation" have in scripture--the future deliverance of believers at the Second Coming of Christ.

Rom 5:9
How much more then, since we are now justified by his blood, will we be saved through him from the wrath.

This guy keeps on jumping topics....I should rename my title to Sola Fide...

ARE YOU SAVED?

The Catholic Response to "Are You Saved?"

The Catholic Christian answers this question in three stages or levels corresponding to the three meanings the words "saved" and "salvation" have in the Bible. (These meanings are found in the previous section, "Salvation: A Biblical Portrait." )

Catholic Christians can respond that they have been saved. This acknowledges the first meaning of "saved" and "salvation" in scripture--Jesus Christ, Savior, by whose act of salvation we are objectively saved--He died, rose from the dead, saved them from sin.

2 Cor 5:17

So whoever is in Christ is a new creation

Catholic Christians can also respond that they are being saved. This acknowledges the second meaning "saved" and "salvation" have in scripture--the present experience, God's power delivering constantly from the bondage of sin.

1 Cor 15:2

Through it (the gospel) you are also being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.

Catholic Christians also respond that they will be saved, that they have hope and confidence that God will give them the grace of perseverance; that they will respond to it; and accept his gift of salvation until their death. This acknowledges the third meaning the words "saved" and "salvation" have in scripture--the future deliverance of believers at the Second Coming of Christ.

Rom 5:9

How much more then, since we are now justified by his blood, will we be saved through him from the wrath.
