In AD 431 the Church proclaimed that infant baptism regenerates the soul. However, this conflicts with Jesus in John chapter 3. The water profits us nothing but the Spirit and the Word regenerates the soul. Its not by works of righteousness we have done (Titus 3:5).
In AD 500 the Mass was celebrated as the reenactment of Jesus' sacrifice. The Mass cannot be a sacrifice because Jesus offered Himself once and for all (Hebrews 7:27).
In AD 1000 attendance at Mass became mandatory. If it was not attended, it was mortal sin. This cannot be true because Mass was not something God instituted for someone to attend.
We ought to understand that Jesus came to die for us and we cannot add anything to it. It is nothing but the blood of Jesus that saves us. His righteousness alone is all-sufficient for how we are right with God. We do not need to add anything to what He has already done for us. Amen.
This blog web site is for the in-depth, sound and basic exegetical study of the Bible in Reformed apologetics; that is, I shall expound upon the inerrant and infallible Word of God, the Holy Scriptures. There shall be biblical studies in world religions and non-Christian cults. I also quote and research reformed writers and I am happy to study from them. May the Lord bless everyone who reads this blog with spiritual riches in Christ which is His imputed merit by faith alone.
