Do Catholics teach a false gospel of works that leads to eternal hell?

According to CJ Galatians 1-6:9 says Catholicism teaches a false gospel of works that leads to eternal hell. Does the verse actually say that?Do Catholics teach a false gospel of works that leads to eternal hell?
well if you read it -- CJ is actually preaching a false gospel. we are not saved by works alone NOR faith alone -- scriptures tell us repeatedly of this fact. never forget -- works without faith is dead as is faith without works.





CJ is just a person who hates the Catholic denomination. maybe it's too strict for him. maybe he had some bad relation or something - just not sure. he also goes by the name of Chris.Do Catholics teach a false gospel of works that leads to eternal hell?
Any structured religion is wrong. Do you really think god cares if you build a place of worship to him or whatever. Trust me god just wants your attention and love and nothing more. Religious fanatics just make this world and even worse place for everyone. For proof of that just click over to the news channel. Church was just created to keep man under control and tamed for the benefit and profit of the church nothing more than that.
According to the text, any one who preaches anything but Christ crucified as a way to salvation is preaching a false gospel. If anyone trusts in anything/one other than Christ for their salvation; yes, they are sending their soul to hell. Scripture consistently tells us that there is only one way to God and that's through Jesus Christ. Baptism, communion, confession, etc. will not save you, therefore it is a false gospel.
The catholic teaching of faith + works is a direct copy of Holy Scripture.





Directly from the bible: James 2:24





';Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.';





So any preacher that has a problem with faith + works is in direct contradiction to God's word, and must be shunned immediately!





Faith + works doesnt even mean what he thinks it does.





Catholics believe that works are an outward sign of your inward faith





Hey, thats what most Christians actually believe also, isnt it!





We are saved by Jesus Christ alone! The works indicate we have this faith. Thats what faith plus works actually means.





Have a nice Christmas and God bless!

Let's just say they've taken the Bible parts they want, to suit their doctrine. It looks like all these answerer's are against ';CJ';s'; First Amendment rights. Is this a online Catholic Inquisition against all heretics who don't agree with you ? Is burning at the stake next, like the olde days ?
I think that applies to ALL Christians since the Gospel as been changed over the centuries and thousands of years since the writing of the Bible.





Perhaps, the original meaning has been lost forever. Just a guess.
Good Works in Sanctifying Grace are Necessary for Salvation





Neh. 13:14, Psalm 11:7,28:4, Isa. 3:10, 59:18, Jer. 25:14, 50:29, Ezek. 9:10, 11:21, 36:19, Hos. 4:9, 9:15, 12:2, Sir. 16:12,14 - The 2,000 year-old Catholic position on salvation is that we are saved by Jesus Christ and Him alone (cf. Acts 15:11; Eph. 2:5). But by the grace of Christ, we achieve the salvation God desires for us through perseverance in both faith and works. Many Protestants, on the other hand, believe that one just has to accept Jesus as personal Lord and Savior to be saved, and good works are not necessary (they just flow from those already saved). But these verses, and many others, teach us that our performance of good works is necessary for our salvation. Scripture also does not teach that good works distinguish those who are eternally saved from those who are not saved.





Sir. 35:19; Luke 23:41; John 3:19-21, Rom. 8:13, 2 Tim 4:14, Titus 3:8,14, Rev. 22:12 - these verses also teach us that we all will be judged by God according to our deeds. There is no distinction between the ';saved'; and the ';unsaved.';





1 Cor. 3:15 - if works are unnecessary for salvation as many Protestants believe, then why is a man saved (not just rewarded) through fire by a judgment of his works?





Matt. 7:1-3 - we are not judged just by faith, but actually how we judge others, and we get what we have given. Hence, we are judged according to how we responded to God's grace during our lives.





Matt. 10:22, 24:13; Mark 13:13 - Jesus taught that we must endure to the very end to be saved. If this is true, then how can Protestants believe in the erroneous teaching of ';Once saved, always saved?'; If salvation occurred at a specific point in time when we accepted Jesus as personal Lord and Savior, there would be no need to endure to the end. We would already be saved.





Matt. 16:27 鈥?Jesus says He will repay every man for what he has done (works).





Matt. 25:31-46 - Jesus' teaching on the separation of the sheep from the goats is based on the works that were done during their lives, not just on their acceptance of Christ as Savior. In fact, this teaching even demonstrates that those who are ultimately saved do not necessarily have to know Christ. Also, we don鈥檛 accept Christ; He accepts us. God first makes the decision to accept us before we could ever accept Him.





Matt. 25:40,45 - Jesus says ';Whatever you did to the least of my brothers, you did it to Me.'; We are judged and our eternal destiny is determined in accordance with our works.





Mark 10:21 - Jesus says sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. This means that our salvation depends upon our works.





Luke 12:43-48 - these verses teach us that we must act according to the Lord's will. We are judged based upon what we know and then do, not just upon what we know.





Luke 14:14 鈥?Jesus says we are repaid for the works we have done at the resurrection of the just. Our works lead to salvation.





Luke 23:41 - some Protestants argue that Jesus gave salvation to the good thief even though the thief did not do any good works. However, the good thief did in fact do a good work, which was rebuking the bad thief when he and others were reviling Jesus. This was a ';work'; which justified the good thief before Jesus and gained His favor. Moreover, we don't know if the good thief asked God for forgiveness, did works of penance and charity and was reconciled to God before he was crucified.





Rom. 2:6-10, 13 - God will judge every man according to his works. Our salvation depends on how we cooperate with God's grace.





2 Cor. 5:10 - at the judgment Seat of Christ, we are judged according to what we have done in the body, not how much faith we had.





2 Cor. 9:6 鈥?Paul says that he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully, in connection with God鈥檚 judgment.





2 Cor. 11:15 - our end will correspond to our deeds. Our works are necessary to both our justification and salvation.





Gal. 6:7-9 鈥?whatever a man sows, he will reap. Paul warns the Galatians not to grow weary in doing good works, for in due season they will reap (the rewards of eternal life).





Eph. 6:8 鈥?whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same again from the Lord.





Col. 3:24-25 - we will receive due payment according to what we have done. Even so, Catholics recognize that such payment is a free unmerited gift from God borne from His boundless mercy.





1 Tim. 6:18-19 鈥?the rich are to be rich in good deeds so that they may take hold of the life which is life indeed, that is, eternal life.





2 Tim. 4:14 鈥?Alexander the coppersmith did Paul great harm, and Paul says the Lord will requite him for his deeds.





Heb. 6:10 - God is not so unjust as to overlook your work and the love which you showed for His sake. God rewards our works on earth and in heaven.





Heb. 12:14 鈥?without holiness, no one will see the Lord. Holin
Bible doesn't say that.But,Catholics used to baptize in water immersion in Jesus name and changed it to sprinkling and baptizing in the titles.Father,Son and Holy Ghost!
catholics. are. christians.


seriously ppl ;)


(not you, just the ppl who're always like 'omg catholics are heathens')
Whilst I do not agree with the Catholic Doctrine on some issues, It would seem that majority of people who are protesting their doctrine have no idea what the Catholic Doctrine the actually is.
CJ apparently has a different Bible than everyone else. His often has a lot different things than ours do.
Seeing as there is absolutely nothing about Catholicism in the Bible, I find that hard to believe.
If there is a god, everyone would have an equal chance at going to hell. You can't all be right, but you can all be wrong.
CJ could not even spiritually guide someone out of a paper bag.
No, that's just silly. CJ is confused unfortunately.
No they do not as the term Catholicism was not invented then
In short, no.
NO!
