Is there salvation outside of the church?

So true. Christ speaks through the Catholic Church, the visible church he established. “He who hears you hears me, and he who rejects you rejects me” (Luke 10:16). The Church is “the fullness of him who fills all in all” (Eph. 1:23). The Church is Christ in the world. It is almighty God who willed “that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known” (Ephesians 3:10). To reject the Catholic Church is to reject Christ because it was Christ who gave this authority to the Church.

Partially agree. The church is all who are truly part of Christ's bride. However, being part of the insitutional church does not save. The grace of God saves.

Just remember that there were 7 churches in Asia mentioned in Revelation, with at least three being mostly pleasing. Also, in Acts we see the foundation of the Ethiopian Orthodox church with the Ethiopian Eunuch. Saint Thomas founded the Kerala church in India. The church in Jerusalem run by Jesus's brother James fled Jerusalem before the sack in 70ad and went to Palmyra where they were known as Messianic Jews.
To require membership of a specific earthly church for salvation is to misunderstand all of us being the body of believers. Hebrews notes that we are of the priesthood of Melchizedek, who no one knows where he came from or where he went. YHWH puts his spirit on who he chooses. As little as two or three can be sufficient for the body of Christ.

I was actually close to becoming catholic or orthodox after learning about the eucharist from the lens of the earliest church fathers. But I think a few things prevent me from converting. One is that my conscience won't ever allow me to pray to Mary, the saints and also angels. I also cannot bow down to statues or icons and pray directly to them. I've also seen some priests say that the devil is more scared of Mary than God Himself. See if those things mentioned weren't practiced and believed, I would one hundred percent become catholic or orthodox. But yeah whether or not I'm right or wrong, I just in good conscience cannot do some of the things catholics and orthodox do.

Crazy instead of saying to walk holy and do his will in all things. He says it’s to be in church as if it’s sufficient. Wicked

[HenryGibbs-ye]

Who is the a true Church. To go from Pagan to being JESUS'S TRUE CHURCH. One does not go against GOD ALMIGHTY'S HOLY WORDS. What is in men of flesh minds are just that. Judgement Day will show the True Way. Many will enter through the Wide Gate. Few will enter through the Narrow Gate. Church not save. Only way to be saved is FAITH IN OUR MY LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. No other way. COME LORD JESUS❤AMEN!

Was Dismas, the thief on the cross next to Jesus, orthodox or catholic?

[gladiusToTheKnot]

St Peter also founded the Church of Antioch. Therefore it too is just as much Catholic as the church of Rome regardless wether or not they're in communion with each other. And the same holds true for all the Eastern Orthodox churches tracing their lineage back to the founding Apostles

[Derekthompson]

The more I hear of catholics, the more I see the direct resemblance of the pharisees. The focus on tradition, man made rules, etc...

The Church are the people who put their faith in Christ Alone for their Salvation. The church is not a Building or Institution. Anyone telling you otherwise is teaching heresy.

The world is entirely flawed, and needed salvation, there were temporary sacrifices being made in the O.T. but thousands of years later, Christ came and died on the cross to save us, and he was buried, and three days later rose from the dead by the Holy Spirit’s power, if you accept and confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and you believe that he died, was buried, and rose up from the dead by the Spirit’s power, and you ask forgiveness of all your sins ever committed by you in your existence and change to living for Christ, you’ll he forgiven, then the Holy Spirit comes to live in you, and you will be convicted of the sins you still commit, and you must daily repent and ask forgiveness, I, not totally sure if daily salvation is true, but I know that daily repentance is, we must participate in God’s grace and salvation, I don’t know entirely, but we must repent.

The answer is no, this is a dogma of the Church. It is a grave sin to deny this.

[blogskiesdiyprojectssolare]

Religion can't save you dude. The Bible is plain and simple. Jesus is the ONLY way not the church. Eternal life is definitely not through the Church.

[Josh.me]

Jesus Christ is the only one true church and the father wouldn't appoint that to 1 man made building ran by men. If it is "of God" than it is. If it isn't "of God" than it isn't
