[Jerome Lackner]

Dear Jacob Keyes,
Two years ago I faced the dilemma that you describe; I decided to go out on my own.

This forum environment is unwieldy for me. I’ve already lost 4 messages trying to write to you here in more detail.

Please email me at jeromelackner@protonmail.com to discuss my experiences.

He doesn’t. Catholics don’t believe in “Penal Substitution” as taught by Luther and Calvin so the question should be directed to Protestants. A good book on this subject, but extremely difficult, is “The Atoning Death of Christ,” St. Thomas’s Doctrine of Vicarious Satisfaction, by John P. Joy.

Big mistake. How would you know for sure that He forgives you? When you confess your sins to a priest and meet the conditions of a good confession forgiveness is guaranteed and the Devil can no longer trouble you with it.

I’d say, “what place is that?” Do you really believe that mother Teresa and Judas Iscariot will end up in the same place?
