{"product_id":"2940157160333","title":"Let There Be No Divisons Among You: Why All Christians Should be Catholic","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith clear, compelling logic bolstered by countless Scriptural confirmations, Fr. John MacLaughlin here considers the oft-heard claim that it doesn't matter what Christian denomination you join, so long as you re sincere. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eFormally known as \u003ci\u003eIndifferentism\u003c\/i\u003e, this view has in recent centuries taken deep root among Christians. Indeed, \u003ci\u003eindifferentism\u003c\/i\u003e is the enemy not only of Protestantism and Catholicism, but of Christ Himself, who revealed to His apostles scores of truths about Himself and the way of salvation, never encouraging them to pick and choose among those truths.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eNot only then, argues Fr. MacLaughlin, is one Christian denomination not as good as another; embracing the wrong one can lead a good-hearted soul into utter unbelief, jeopardizing his salvation.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eFor this reason, Fr. MacLaughlin devotes the second half of this immensely popular book to delineating for readers the two fundamental characteristics that will ever and always be found in the one Church that Christ founded and to which he intends all men and women to belong.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAmong the things you will learn here:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow indifferentism threatens your salvation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhere Christ forbids preaching some doctrines while ignoring others\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe two marks the of the true church delineated by Christ Himself\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDenominational lethargy: how sticking with the Faith you were born into can violate the First Commandment . . . and risk your salvation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDecrees of the \u003ci\u003eCouncil of Jerusalem\u003c\/i\u003e (ca. 50 a.d.): proof that the apostles themselves denied that one Christian faith is as good as another\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow consideration of indifferentism draws inquirers to the true church\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow the profusion of Protestant sects reveals the need for a final authority\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe universality of the True Church: lt existed already at Pentecost, before the Church spread beyond Jerusalem (and one Church has that very same universality today)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe religion revealed by Christ: In its essentials, it's clear, definite, unchanging. \u003ci\u003eIs yours\u003c\/i\u003e?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sophia Institute Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47112404795632,"sku":"2940157160333","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940157160333_p0.jpg?v=1764092279","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940157160333","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
