Can only Catholics get to heaven?

#LifeTeen #AskJoel

HAVE A QUESTION?! Leave it in the comments and Joel will get to it in the coming weeks!

TELL US WHAT YOU THINK

So why do Catholics say you have to go to there church in order to go to heaven. Say a non believer comes to Christ before he dies but doesn’t go to church or whatever. I believe Catholics go to heaven and Protestants also. Even if they say they’re church is the right church. I’m a Protestant but my friends are catholic and we I hope both believe Jesus is the only way to heavens

[saffylew]

God has ONLY given us salvation through faith in Jesus Christ Ephesians 2:8-9. There is no "best way" there is ONLY one way John 14:6.

The problem is that worshipping mary and the saints and praying to them is blasphemy. How are catholics christians?

[amandarayburn]

The question posed in the title of your vid is about “only Catholics” getting to heaven, so I was hoping you’d touch on the promise of Salvation for other Christian denominations. Your words about non believers are appreciated but I was looking for dialogue on the actual question posed…not non believers, but other Christians who are not Catholic.

[longwalksguidemenerdwalk]

Catholics worship saints, angels, and Mary. What does God say about worshiping what’s above and on earth and under? You need to start reading The Bible people and break those chains of generations. Find a true Christian church near you to hear the truth.

I know many Protestants that love Jesus and live a life of discipleship, and many Catholics that don’t.

How do you know only Catholics go to heaven ? Were you in heaven, asked everyone there if they were Catholic and returned to earth.

[davidcrane]

Catholics are not born again of The Spirit... So how do they expect to get to heaven?

[gospeljoy]

Good people do not enter heaven only justified sinners. Humans works will save no one. You must be born again. Heaven is not based on scales but on the cross.

[marybernadette]

Agree.. the BEST way of getting to heaven is through the Church, because God gave us the sacraments which are powerful and help us to become Christ-like but that doesnt mean that God's mercy is limited.

Padre Pio said himself that we'll be surprised to find in Paradise souls we NEVER expected to be there.

When our human body dies, there are only 2 places we would go, Heaven or Hell.

People always get the wrong image of God and because of that they refuse Him but no, hell is not made for humans, God made human each one as perfectly as He had in mind during Creation, knowing that our existence is based on His love alone.

So why do some people go to hell? Souls who go to hell are those who CHOOSE to go there because they refuse God, God respects our Free Will. When you die and are nothing but a soul, you can understand more than what humans can and even if you understand everything but refuse God, thats your call for damnation. God gives us so many graces so that we will unite with Him again one day, use that!

Oh my gosh are you kidding me you absolutely have to believe in Jesus Christ to go to heaven... What the heck dude read your Bible

[andrealicalzi]

Thanks for sharing! 😊I feel confident and at peace after watching this. I have a question (this is just generally speaking), how come the church is not doing enough to support victims of abuse against priests? Why, for so many, has the church covered up these allegations?

[algomez]

Many protestants love Jesus profoundly and in Vatican II declared that although their communion is imperfect they are under baptisim and God's mercy in spite of not being catholic. Also in the bible Jesus calls those you did not know him but live in justice and practiced mercy and rejects many who claim to live by his name.

[FREDERICK]

Very comforting, and excellent answer

[keeleyjayne]

My family doesn’t go to church but I want to and I have a bible on my phone. Will my family still be with me when I die?

[Elaine-fiko]

You need the Holy Spirit living inside you, besides belief in Jesus

[eskercurve]

The key point for me is this: the nonbelievers do not explicitly reject the Gospels, His teachings, and the truths spoken, or that He was the savior. They may question, doubt even, but so long as they do not explicitly reject Him, it is possible (but probably extraordinarily difficult) to go to Heaven. Interesting. Then why bother with evangelization?

[khaledqaraman]

Well... We as Muslims believe that no one will enter the Heaven unless they believe in Allah: The Lord of the whole world... The Creator of everything... and Jesus is his Word and Messenger to the sons of Israel... and Mohammad is his last Prophet to all the people until the end of times.

[MandM]

But what about atheist who deny god for something he is not? For example they say: if God’s people abuse children I don’t want to be believe in him. Or if god is the old white man on the clouds who demands me to do things than I don’t want to believe in him.

Than those people reject him for sth he is not

[vaticancitybride]

The only way to be SAVED is to have a personal relationship with Jesus inside His Catholic Church
Amen
