John said:
All we have and were given by God through the apostiles were the 66 books of the bible.
Actually, the Bible consists of 73 books. God has given you a spiritual message in the number of the books in your canon.
Six is the number of imperfection and evil. That is why the number of the Beast is 666. That is also why the number of your canon has 66 books. God is telling you that your Bible is incomplete.
Whereas in Scripture the number 7 is the number which signifies covenant and the number 3 is the number which signifies God. The Catholic, 73 book Bible is the Covenant with God.
The catholics added their pound of baloney including the pope, Matt 16:18-19mary, Luke 1:28; 48pergatory,1 Cor 3:15holy water, Num 5:17mass, Heb 10:25-31etc. The protestants reformed what they felt necessary based on the bible,
In contradiction of the Bible. Take for instance the doctrine of faith alone. It directly contradicts Scripture:
James 2:24
King James Version (KJV)
24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
James 2:24
King James Version (KJV)
24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
and came up with many different loafs of their baloney. I believe you are correct in criticizing the flawed use of the sinners prayer.
I agree with that statement.
The truth exists in the bible.
True. And the Bible says the following about the Church:
1 Timothy 3:15
King James Version (KJV)
15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
1 Timothy 3:15
King James Version (KJV)
15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
Ephesians 3:10
King James Version (KJV)
10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
King James Version (KJV)

Jesus died for the elect.
Christ died for all mankind:
Romans 5:6-8
King James Version (KJV)
6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

His sacrifice washed away and washes away our sin.
His Sacrament of Baptism does that:
Acts 22:16
And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
Acts 22:16
And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
If His Sacrifice washed away all sin, then even the wicked would be saved. But that is not the case.
Jesus is our ( the truly saved) mercy seat.
True.
God’s righteousness is imputed to us.
Where is that in Scripture? Those who have proven themselves righteous by keeping the Commandments are judged or accounted righteous by God. His Grace is then infused upon the righteous man.
His holy spirit guides us and sanctifies us.
If we but listen.
His blood covers our sin.
If we repent.
The only clue we have of our redemption is our changed heart, that seeks to honor his stated will and glorifies his name.
And the works which are the result of our faith.
Work out our salvation with fear and trembling. Until called home to heaven, wrestle with our old man and repent when we fall short.
And approach the font of grace with confidence, the Sacrament of penance by which the Baptized receive the grace of forgiveness for the sins of which they have repented.
