Subject: "Once Saved Always Saved" |
Bible Note: 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 |
