Then, we will begin to look at some unbiblical teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, such as purgatory, indulgences, mediation of Mary, and was Peter really the first Pope.</p>
]]></description><lessonItem><name><![CDATA[Personal Evangelism Lesson 28 Topic 1]]></name><lessonInstructions><![CDATA[<p>Grace &ndash; the simple definition is &ldquo;something we don&rsquo;t deserve.&rdquo; It&rsquo;s different than mercy, which is &ldquo;not getting what we do deserve.&rdquo; See, God didn&rsquo;t just stop at being merciful in sending His Son to die for our sins. That alone would have been enough.</p>

<p>But He offers grace to us; grace which allows us to have the assurance that we when we die, we will spend eternity in Heaven with Him. In our daily living, He offers grace for our walk. He saves us by His grace, and He keeps us by His grace. There is not an ounce of work to be done in obtaining our salvation or keeping our salvation.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, too many people want to add works to both of these. Those who do, not only don&rsquo;t have assurance of salvation, but end up living frustrated lives. In this topic, we will look at grace vs. works, and why we should not attempt to go back to works.</p>

Most of the time, if it &ldquo;sounds good&rdquo;, it&rsquo;s appealing to your flesh. If it&rsquo;s appealing to your flesh, it&rsquo;s unbiblical.</p>

<p>When we hear teachings that &lsquo;sound good&rsquo;, we must always compare them with what the Bible teaches. Too much doctrine today adds works to our salvation. If you tell someone that they are saved by grace, but must work to keep it, or work to prove it (otherwise they aren&rsquo;t really saved), then you have added an element of works to salvation and are teaching unbiblical doctrine.</p>

<p>In this topic, we are going to look at several unbiblical teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. As was stated in the first lesson of this unit, the goal is not to hate the Roman Catholic Church, but to make you aware of what they teach, so when you witness to a Roman Catholic, you can be aware of what they believe. Remember, do not argue Church traditions, but stay on the Gospel.</p>

Jesus&rsquo; statement to Peter is misunderstood, and used to support this claim. However, as we just saw, Peter was married. If he was the first pope, then he was breaking the rules regarding marriage.</p>

<p>In this topic, we will look at Jesus&rsquo; statement to Peter regarding the foundation of the Church, and see that it is not Peter, but rather Jesus upon whom the Church is built.</p>
