“Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith” (1 Tim. 4:1).
Welcome to our study of Answering Denominational Doctrines. In this series of lessons, we are examining the doctrines of prominent denominations compared to the Word of God in order to see if they line up.
Today we will be looking at Catholic doctrine. Is the Catholic Church the church about which we read in the New Testament? Does the Catholic Church have the right to give or take away salvation? Are the papacy, worship of Mary, and other things of a similar nature what God wants in the New Testament? Can a person

Jesus said, “I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it,” Matthew 16:18. We welcome you today to our second part in a series of lessons dealing with the differences in the Lord's church. What's unique about the church Jesus promised to build? What's different about the church you read about in the New Testament than we see in modern religious groups and denominations today? We hope that you'll get your Bible as we're going to study this important subject together.

In Jeremiah 37:17, a wonderful question is asked: ‘Is there any word from the Lord?’ We're so glad that you've joined us for our study of answering denominational doctrines. In this lesson we're going to be considering the doctrines of Calvinism and that of the Presbyterian religion as well. We want to encourage you to locate your Bible. Have it ready to look together with us in the Word of God to examine if these teachings are true. As we think about religious doctrines, denominational doctrines of men that have been promoted and pushed throughout the centuries, our consideration today of Calvinism goes way back. Calvinism has roots in many religious groups today. We want to consider the doctrines of John Calvin, Calvinism, and the Presbyterian religious group today.
