Norrie I can tell you stories of a: Catholic Priest who molests children; Baptist Pastor who impregnated a 16 year old girl; Lutheran Minister who stole a car; an Apostle who betrayed Christ. Do you condemn all for the actions of one? With regard to the Catholic Churches position on Muslims. Just a few lines after your quote, is the following Catholic belief: 847: Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience - those too may achieve eternal salvation. Anyone who has studied Islam, with an open heart, would recognize that this is a religion which seeks God with all their hearts. Do not confuse the criminals,who use the Islamic religion as a front for their crimes, as representative of Islam. They are nothing but criminals. A true Muslim seeks to find God, without the advantage of the Gospel. I believe a Muslim seeking God with all of his heart, is more pleasing to God - than a Christian who is complacent. Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him Brian |

I would agree Brian, except that Allah is not the same God as Jesus' Father. So who are they actually seeking? I've heard so many people say that Muslims claim their God is the God of Abraham. Yet Abraham foresaw God's plan of salvation (Heb. 11:13-16). If Allah was the God of Abraham, then why isn't He still saving them the same way that He saved Abraham, and still teaching the same thing taught to/through Abraham and his chosen line? Doesn't a person have to seek YHWH rather than "any" god? There are many false ones available it seems. |
