The pope is probably the reason
Nancy and I have been hearing, with increasing frequency, how Muslims are one
with Christians because we share Abraham.
Sheeesh! That is the kind of heresy you get when you ignore Scripture. For example, Acts 4:12. John 14:6. Oh, and then there are texts such as the entire ninth chapter of Romans wherein St Paul describes that neither Jews (from Abraham through Isaac and Jacob) nor Muslims from Abraham (and Hagar) are 'saved' simply because they trace their physical life back to Abraham. I mean, St. Paul would have chosen to be accursed of God if it would mean the salvation of his kinsfolk according to the flesh. (See Romans chapters 9-11)
Oh, and then there is the
entire 8th chapter of John's gospel . . . and the first chapter of Galatians,
and . . . . well, why go on?
Does no clergy, even in the highest quarters, read scripture anymore? Or believe it?
It was the same St Paul who
wrote in Romans 8 that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ DO NOT BELONG
to Christ. Meaning, they are NOT saved. And Peter told the religious Jews of
his day that without Messiah Jesus, they were all condemned (Acts chapters 3
and 4). And St. Stephen said the same thing in Acts 7 -- and he got stoned for
being politically incorrect.
But if we have men of the cloth teaching that Jews and Muslims do not need to be evangelized to Messiah Jesus in order for them to be saved, then those clergy do the devil's work to ensure those groups do not hear the gospel, which is the ONLY way for them to be saved -- at least, if you believe what Jesus said and the apostles wrote. But then, that might be a cause to accuse someone of 'proof-texting" (Oh, yes, I have been accused of that many times before. I might show them multiple CHAPTERS of scripture, but if it doesn't fit their heretical theology, then I am proof-texting).
Yes, I am angry. People -- MILLIONS of people are heading toward hell, and the ONLY people who have the ONLY answer are too busy doing their own proof-texting to be politically correct. Tell me who among the wonderful Saints of our Church taught that Jesus is NOT the only way for anyone to be saved? St. Francis? St. Athanasius? St. Jerome? St. Catherine of Sienna? St. Therese of Liseux? St. Augustine? St. Therese of Avila? Tell me, who?
God help those today who choose to be politically correct, rather than bring people the gospel of Jesus Christ.
