Lies of the catholic church
Lie one
We are all children of God...
The Truth,
We are born children of satan,
God created everything perfectly (Genesis 1:31 ) but because of Adam, the first perfect mans sin, we have sinful nature within us, but as Paul writes, through the second perfect man, Jesus the Christ, a new covernant was made, one that changes human nature with devine nature, in a spiritial process called being born again, Jesus talks about this in John chapter 3...
Think of it this way, its like a decease has been passed on throughout your family, this decease is deadly and you are born with it, and at less you accept the mediceane for it, you will die from that decease. Now some people will try to tell you, you can't stop the decease, well if that was true then we would all die, and we know thats not true because some of us are still alive and cured today, others will say you can work the decease out of you, but once again thats not true. The fact is that because of the sinful nature thats been passed on we are in danger, we need to accept the medicean, the only one that works, Jesus Christ.
The defence
We are all sons of God because we believe in God and Jesus, just as Galatians 3:26 says... “You are all sons of God through faith in Jesus”
breaking the defence
I would encourage you to go back to the begaining of Pauls letter, in Galatians 1: 2 that he was writting to the churches of Galatians, they had followers thre who were true folowers of Christ, who had been born again, they believed that they were justified and saved by grace, not works and faith, as Paul writes in the same letter, in Galatians 2:16
“Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.”
12But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name John 1:12
supporting scripture, John 8:44, 1 John 3:10, Romans 9:8 , Ephesians 2:3, Ephesians 1:5 , Galatians 4:5-6 Romans 8:14-17:, (Galatians 3:26),
Lie two
We are saved by our works
The catholic church clearly teaches that works can gain somes salvation, the mormons and Jehovah witness' teach the same, lets see what the scripture, God's Holy inspiried writtings say about how to be saved, by work or by faith and repentance....
The Truth
We are in danger of death because of our sinful nature, but by faith in Jesus we can be saved, not by any work we do but by accepting the Lord for his sacrefeice, as Paul writes “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. “- Romans 6:23
Saint Peter said that we need to be babtised and repent of our sins, you can read this in Acts chapter 2:38
which says ``Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."
Saint Paul wrote this about salvation ``For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:8-10,
He also wrote `What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, discovered in this matter? If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God. What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
Now to the one who works, wages are not credited as a gift but as an obligation. However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness. David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
``Blessed are those
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the one
whose sin the Lord will never count against them.”
The writter of Hebrews makes it clear, theres no mis-interupting Hebrews 11,
Heres a part of the chapter...
``Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.This is what the ancients were commended for.
By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
By faith Abel brought God a better offering than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith Abel still speaks, even though he is dead.``
As you can see, the scriptures tell us over and over again, that we are saved by faith in Jesus and true repentance of sin, the catholic church has made many lies to attract people, as did Joesph smith and the elders of the Jevovah witnesses, this is probily the most imortant thing in all of churchiandy and True Christiandy, the most important thing to everyone on this planet who has a religion, “where am I going after I die?”
As I have shown you the roman catholic church as well as other churches have lied to you, as the scripture says ( ), it doesn't matter if your a catholic, mormon or a Jehovah witness, it is a biblacal fact that we are saved by God alone (Isaiah 12:2,Psalm 24:5 ), and that our “good” deeds can not save us(Isaiah 64:6) Its like if a crimal were to stand before a just judge, he has killed someone, but in the area he lives in, it isn't worst then lying, in order to feel better then person asks another criminal if he is sinful, the person replies and tells the him, he is just and that everyone does it, which in his eyes makes it OK, but when this man goes before the just judge, he are given no mercy before the judge, and is punished for the crime.
Defence of works salvation
Matthew 5:20 “For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.”
Breaking the defence
Agreed, in order to enter the kingdom of God we must have a high level of righteousness, but who is righteous? Abraham was credited as righteous, how was credited as righteous? What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness... As it says it Romans, so you see, we are known as righteous for our obedience of Jesus, through faith in him, not our own work.
2nd defence of works salvation
According to Romans 2:5-10, there is glory, honour and peace for everyone who does good...
Amen, to that, but what does it mean to do “good?” What does saint Paul mean?
Before writting that he writes “But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger.”
This preveous verse gives us a good answer to what Paul was trying to say,
First who are “self-seeking” this can be defined as Pursuing only one's own ends or interests. You see it is a work salvations' objective to follow their own interests, someone who is self-seeking, ignores verses such as Isaiah 40:21-26 and Matthew 16:24,25, as well as Mark 8:34-35 and Luke 9:23-24. In other words, Paul is refering the false prophets, the people in his time who believed they could earn Heaven by their works, when Paul and the early aposles taught differently, as the scripture says “but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” ( Rom 6:23 ), As it was also written For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should boast.
(Eph 2:8-9), salvation is a gift from God, not something man deserves, the scripture clearly teaches that we deserve enternal punishment for what we have done, but by God's grace, he amazing mercy he gave us his son, so that we might be born again, its true that God will give glory, honour and peace to everyone who does good, but its also true that “there is non good but God alone”, this type of goodness
comes from a New begaining, a washing away of sins, as Paul said describing his converson “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
third defeance of salvation by works
Jesus, the son of God said “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” in the gospel of matthew, the 7th chapter, 22nd verse...
Breaking the defence
Agreed, only those who do the will of the father will be saved, but as we continnue... He says “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”
(Matthew 7:23rd- 24th
You see, the will of God is not to have you go out and do “righteous” deeds, because to God their just a dirty rag (Isaiah 64:6), God's will, the one that you knew Jesus, God's will is that you have a relationship with God, and by a relationship with him, you hate sin more and more. So that by a spiritial union with God, you will become pure as he is.
Forth defeance
The leter of James clearly says “Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,”and he was called God’s friend. You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.
In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction? As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead” In the leter of James 2:21-24.
Breaking the forth defence
Yes, but what kind of “work” was James writing about? Ones abedience to God's voice, Abraham did not say to himself “I will go and do righteous deeds to please God” if he did, then it would be to please men, not God. You see, the Holy scripture makes it clear, “But you are less than nothing and your works are utterly worthless; he who chooses you is detestable.” (Isaiah 41:24) so it was by doing what God commanded him to do, that he was credited, he not only believed God, he had faith in him and acted on his faith, he did not decide to do it on his own.
If my defence did not convince you, read James 1:1, this leter was to the Jewish people, not to Genetile Christians, also note that it says “was not our father Abraham...” James was talking to the Jewish people...
Lie three
If you ask a catholic, why did Jesus die? They will almost always reply “for forgiveness of our sins”
The Truth
Scripture tells us that Jesus died to take away the sins of the world, its true that we are forgiven through his suffering, however he died so that we could stop sinning and become “perfect just as your Heavenly father is perfect” ( Matthew 5:48 ) Jesus died so that we may become dead to ourselves, and live for and in God, in union with his son.
Jesus came to set you free, as he said in Luke “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed” (Luke 4:18) He also said in the gospel of John "if you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free”
Now what did Jesus mean “set us free?” You see when you got water put on you when you were a baby or purhapes when you were older, you wasted your time, it meant nothing to God. Because you failed to realize that you were in chains of your sins, that there was only one way out, faith in Jesus, true repentance of sin. You see, no sacrements or works can earn your salvation, salvation is a free gift from God, you just need to accept him, then follow him. As Jesus said “Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it." (Matthew 8:34-35)
He said it again in Luke “"If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it." (Luke 9:23-24) He says in Matthew “Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me, Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. (Matthew 10:38-39) The early church taught “Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires.” (Gal 5:24 )
This is why Jesus died, “to take way the sins of the world, to replace human nature with devine nature (Ephesians 2:1, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Colossians 2:13)
If you really what to understand why Jesus came, read what Isaiah said, hundreds of years before Jesus came.
Who has believed our message
and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
By oppression and judgment he was taken away.
Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
for the transgression of my people he was punished.
He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence,
nor was any deceit in his mouth.
Yet it was the LORD’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
and though the LORD makes his life an offering for sin,
he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.
After he has suffered,
he will see the light of life and be satisfied
by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many,
and he will bear their iniquities.
Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,
and he will divide the spoils with the strong,
because he poured out his life unto death,
and was numbered with the transgressors.
For he bore the sin of many
and made intercession for the transgressors
Isaiah 53
Lie four
We are all sinners
This is a common lie of many churches, it is one of the most horrible lies of all, it brings shame to the suffering of Jesus and hurts my very soul and at times almost brings me to tears. As Isaiah said, his own father put his full hatedred and wrath on him, so that we may be free from our sinful nature, he died so that we might go from children of satan to children of the living God, from sinners to saints. The word “sinner” can be defined as “someone who repeatedly sins”.
You see children of God are not sinners, John could not be anymore clear when he writes in his first leter “Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.” (John 3:6) He says earlyier in the leter “If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.” (1 John 1:6) Let me explain this in a term that would make sence to you, John, a witness of Jesus (1 John 1:1) is talking to people who say they are Christians, but live like the rest of world does, when they come to meetings in churches they pretained to be someone they're not, in a sence they put on a mask at church and meetings so others will see them as they what to be seen, John goes on to say you are not a Christian because you have never known him, and therefore not a Christian at all but a false aposle, a churchian.
Defence
Romans 3:36 cleary reads “we have all fallen short of the glory of God”
Breaking the defence
Yes, we have all fallen short of the glory of God, we are dust at his feet, all nations before him a s a drop in the bucket (Isaiah 40) but we are retemded, justiced by his sacrefeice (Isaiah 53) (Romans 5:21). After being born again, as a new creation in Christ, we are seen by God as though we have never sinned.
Lie five
God isn't in Hell
As a roman catholic for most of my life, I know what the church teachers, in this section I will inform you of God's wrath and hatedred for your sins. I will also give you scripture, which should prove to you that God is in Hell and it is his wrath tormenting the billions of people there.
First lets look at some biblacal stories of God's wrath, we'll start with the flood
After the daughters of men were raped by the angels (Genesis 6:2) Genesis 6:4)
Why did God destroy them? Because of the wickedness of man (Genesis 6:11)
(Genesis 6:5)
Did God give them any mercy for not repenting?
No (Genesis 7:17-22) All men, all woman, all children who did not repent were killed, dying slowly
and casted into the aybss, where they would remain until God judged them.
Lets look at another story, the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, why were the towns along with the land was unterly consumed by fire, if something like that happened today you might ask yourself “why didn't God prevent this?” The answer is because he caused it. What were the sins of Sodom and gormorrah? They commited adulty, they lived a lie, they did not turn from their wickedness (Jeremiah 23:14) they were aggogant, overfed and unconcered, they did detistable things before God, (Ezekeiel 16:49-50) they were godless (2nd Peter 2:1-11)
You see, God gives you mercy to sinners, at less they accept his son, if for some reason you don't believe these two stories, then prehapes you will believe the scripture, the book of Revelations talks about the second coming of Jesus, it will be a wonderful and horrible day, a day of love and wrath, a day of painfullness and a day of painlessness. The book of Revelations tells us who will be casted into the lake of fire, it says “But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8) as you can see, living for Jesus and being born again is so important to decides where you go enternalty. People often joke about the lake of fire, lets see what scripture says about it and God's wrath, “I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” (Matthew 8:11-12) “The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” (Matthew 13:41-42) For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ (Matthew 25: 29-30) But he will reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!“There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown out. (Luke 13:27-28) From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, all mankind will come and bow down before me,” says the LORD. “And they will go out and look on the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me; the worms that eat them will not die, the fire that burns them will not be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind.” (Isaiah 66:23-24)
It is widely believed in many churches that satan rules Hell, this a compleat lie, trying to change who God is and what God does to all sinners, to those who do not accept Jesus. satan will be thrown into the lake of fire, as John wrote in the book of revelations “And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.” (Revelation 20:10) As you can see, the devil does not rule Hell. And Hell like all places needs a ruler, that ruler is God, he is the one who throws them in the lake, and allows them to be tormitted day and night. You see, its commonly said “Heaven is Heaven because God is there” well I agree but, its also True that Hell is Hell because God is there, God is in both Heaven and Hell as the psalmist once wrote “Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? “If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.” (Psalm 139:7-8) Scripture teachers that God is omiprensent, which means he is in Hell, the people their feel no love because God's hatedred towards their sins is so fast it torchures, day and night they cry out, but because they never took the time to look for the Truth, God rejected them, they had their whole life to turn but they never took the time to repent.
Defence
John wrote that “God is love” in his 1st letter, in 1st John 4:7,8. So he does not rule over Hell, nor is he in Hell...
Breaking the defence
Its true that God is Love, but he is a just judge, perfect in all his ways. And therefore must judge people. The scripture teachers that God hates sin and wickeness, and Loves those who follow his son. God hates hate and Loves love, so when someone belongs to satan, the king of lies, of sin, God has no choice but to cast them down in the flames. If you commit a crime against God you pay enternalty for it. If you Love Jewish people, you hate the holacaust. If you love godlyness, you hate wickedness. God loves godlyness more then anyone can imagen and hates wickedness more then anyone can comprehend. (Psalm 11)
Lie six
The catholic church is the “one true church of God”
You have no decent reason to believe it is, also Jesus never talked about there being a “one true church”
Defence
Jesus said to Peter “Thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build by church”
This is in the gospel of (Matthew, 16:17.)
Breaking the defence
The propier translation of this is “Thou art Petros and upon this petro I will build my church”
Which means, Jesus called Peter male and the church female, which is like saying “you are a peter-male and upon this Peter-female I will build my church.
More over, the word Petros can be translated to “a collection of pepples, that forms on rock or stone” So what Jesus was saying here, in matthew, when it said “
And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (Matthew 16:17-18)
So to put it in propier words it would read something like this “And Yeshua answered and said to him, blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it but my father which is in Heaven.
And I unto thee, that thou art (a rock made out of smaller pepples) and upon this
(female rock) I will build my church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it. Jesus isn't talking about Peter being the “first pope” he is talking about everyone who knows Jesus is the Christ, that those people would form a “church” a group of Christians, not a pesific church.
2nd defence
The catholic church is the oldest church
Let me share with you some church history, after Jesus left, and took his place at the right hand of the father (Matthew 28:18) (Luke 24:51) (Mark 16:19)
The eleven aposles preached the gospel (Mark 16:20) After many years, James the brother of Jesus, made a group of Christians, Paul also made churches in different communitys, churches were in Asia minor, (revelation 1:4) From after Pauls death, the church, now called “orthodox” taught what Paul taught and what Jesus' early followers taught that we are saved by the grace of God
(Romans 3:36)(romans 3)(Romans 4), that true christians don't follow human nature (1st letter of saint John) that all True Christians have gained devine nature by faith and true repentance. ( 1st Peter 2:24-25, 2nd Peter 3:9-18 ) for many years the true gospel was preached, until the catholic church was formed, at the time when the catholic church was created, another religion was almost equal with Christiandy known as Mithraism, Mithraism is still alive today, only its changed its name to catholicsm, at that time when the catholic church false docton was founded, the catholic preists wanted power and authordy, they no longer cared for the voice of God or the True gospel, so they convined mithraism with Christiandy and did not allow people to read the scriptures, you needed to have a lience to be able to read them and very often you were killed for reading them, so for hundreds of years people were tricked. It is not the oldest church, the oldest church is the group of True Christian who still held to the scripture, you would call them “saints” but to God they were what he exspected of everyone who said they were a Christian.
3rd defence
We were raised catholic and have remained catholic for our entire lifes, there is no good reason for us to leave the church.
Thats one of the biggest lies I have ever heard, by now I hope I have proven to you three things...
1- That we saved by God's grace through faith and repentance of sin, (Romans, 3, 4, 6) (Luke 19) (Luke 10:38-41) (Ephesians 2:8-9 ) (Titus 3:5 )
2-That your “good works” mean less then nothing to God (Isaiah 64:6)
3-That you are in danger of Hell, (revelation 21:8, 1 Corinthians 6:9, Matthew 7:21-23)
The catholic church has lied to you about all three, and teaches a false gospel, lets see what Paul says about false prophets, Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.” (Galatians 1:3-10)
Should muslims stay in their mosques and budtists their temples? Abobsalutly not! There is a differentance between Christiandy and churchiandy, the difference is day and night, light and darkness, Truth and lies, Satan or Jesus.
If God has opened your heart you NEED to get out of the church and fight against it.

When I was being taught about a god who loves me just the way I was, and who respects me and is amazed at my works, but after I met Jesus, I knew this was another lie, heres what God really thinks of you...
The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity (Psalm 5:5)
1In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright. (Psalm 11)
And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. (Genesis 6:5)
And the LORD smelled a soothing aroma. Then the LORD said in His heart, “I will never again curse the ground for man’s sake, although the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done. (Genesis 8:21)
Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
And in sin my mother conceived me (Psalm 51:5)

Even at my high school i'm taught that God has changed from the old to New testament, using the Holy scripture I will prove to you that God never changed, at all.
Lie nine
You can't be sure your going to Heaven
I was always told that we were saved by our works while growing up as a catholic, so like the most of you I thought that no one could be sure of their salvation, but this is not what the early church believed, as saint Paul wrote in his leter to the Philippias...
“For I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I cannot tell. For I am hard-pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better. Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you. And being confident of this, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy of faith, that your rejoicing for me may be more abundant in Jesus Christ by my coming to you again.”
God can't talk to you, it is commonly said among catholics that God talks to people through other peoples actions and things that occur in their own life, although it is posible for God to talk to people in this way, he still is caple of speech, like he did in the days of the aposles, he speaks in an autobal voice.
Scripture clear supports this, for example Jesus says in John “Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one.” (John 10:25-30)
As you can see, we must have a relationship with Jesus, and in that way we have a relationship with the Holy spirit and God, because “...there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one “ (1st John 5:7) Jesus warned us in Matthew 7, that if we don't know him he will cast us off, into eternal flame... in order to enter a relationship wioth Jesus, you most be born again, it talks about being born again in John 3, if you read it with an open mind you'll realize its not just talking about water being put on you.
