Protestants & Catholics: What’s the Difference?
Christians have often disputed as to whether what leads the Christian home is good actions, or Faith in Christ. . .
There are two parodies of the truth which different Christians have, in the past, been accused by other Christians of believing. . .
One set were accused of saying, “Good actions are all that matters. The best good action is charity. The best kind of charity is giving money. The best thing to give money to is the Church. So hand us over £10,000 and we will see you through.”. . .
The other set were accused of saying, “Faith is all that matters. Consequently, if you have faith, it doesn’t matter what you do. Sin away, my lad, and have a good time and Christ will see that it makes no difference in the end.”
