She studied bible since young, and she is in 70s years old. She remembers the chapter and verse number, the page number and what it says word by word when we ask something about the bible related. I heard other churches having someone can memorize bible like that too.

It is the gift.

I am sure those Muslim’s you have so wonderfully judged to be kind people really appreciate your broad-brush painting of their religion and faith. I am sure they further appreciate the pity you bestow on them. Judgement and pity. A winning combination.
in christianity Jesus is God, in islam Jesus is just a prophet and not God

if you are in one of these faiths, one is wrong,

which one is the question
 
Non-Christian religions are unacceptable

Jesus said to him I am the way and the truth and the life no one comes to the Father but through me

John 14:6
 
God may do as He likes. I hope His grace is generous. He loves the Buddhist as much as me a catholic. I hope I may go to heaven. Jesus opened the gates of heaven so that all may enter. All those who had died waiting through the ages for the gates of heaven to be opened were finally able to enter. They all weren’t Christian. They weren’t all Jewish, that was established later in human history. Aside from those babies who were killed when Herod went after Jesus and John the Baptist and a handful of others no one had even seen Jesus. In the Bible it says anyone who gives a cup of water to a believer and it says 144,000 Jewish people. Symbolic number for many. I believe in the Catholic Church but I don’t want the sin of pride to say nonchristians can’t. If they can it’s because of Jesus having defeated death and opening the gates. As to the baptism not all Christian churches say baptism is a requirement of salvation, even for adults. We are called to preach to the world. Not insist everyone be our religion.
 
You might want to read Lumen Gentium to gain a fuller understanding of just what is meant by Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus.
 
Today in many countries live representatives from different cultures, peoples and continents.
Everyone must integrate into a tolerant, peaceful, and equal to all -Western society.
The Islamic world, for example, is not always tolerant.
If you look at the history of Islamic-Christian relations, there is a sea of blood, hostility and constant wars.
Today, there is a tendency to exaggerate and twist historical facts and put the blame on Christians for the bitter and bloody history.
In fact, for many centuries the Islamic world has brutally persecuted Christians of European countries and brutally exterminated the disappeared Christian civilizations of the middle East and North Africa.
We must learn to co-exist peacefully, but we must also not forget the realism and certain dangers of Islamic expansionism because of the forgotten lessons of history.
 
No. Catholics don’t use traditions over the Holy Bible. Catholics use God’s Tradition, which is the Holy Bible and Holy Spirit FOREVER: prophets and prophetesses (i.e. Holy Oral Tradition). It is protestants (those who protestant against Christ’s Church) who use man-made traditions over the Holy Bible. Martin Luther called Christ a lair when he asserted that God’s Tradition is Scripture alone without the Holy Spirit FOREVER. Martin Luther called Christ and James, the brother of Jesus lairs when he asserted that people are justified by Faith alone instead of by works and faith. Martin Luther removed the Book of James from the Holy Bible and added the word “alone” in the Book of Ephesians. Christ gave commandments such as “don’t hate”, “don’t lust”, “don’t murder”, “don’t commit adultery”, feed the poor, and etc Those who love Christ must keep these commandments, which are works. James 2:24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. John 14 15 “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. 16 I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; 17 that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.
 
Christians from different nations with different cultures integrating with each other isn’t a problem because they have core common beliefs on which their cultures are founded on. Multi-multiculturalism isn’t a problem for fellow Christians. Multi-multiculturalism becomes only a problem when it’s for all people from different nations with different cultures. Islamic cultures are a problem because their core common beliefs are different from the core common beliefs of Christians.
 
It’s been “clarified” many times over the past 50 years. Are you suggesting the Magisterium of the Church is teaching heresy?

Excellent.

Jesus taught praying for those who persecute us, so pray for Lutheran having good life and good faith.

" I am the light of the world, whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." John 8:12

" When a man believes in me, he does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me. When he looks at me, he sees the one who sent me. I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness." John 12:44-46

So people of non-Christian religions maybe stay in the darkness without knowing that! Even people of Christian religions do not follow Jesus maybe walk in the darkness too.

protestant pls go

when you can’t trace your church back to the apostles so you get mad at the one which can
 
You should really go back and look through the replies in this thread - plenty of proof has been posted showing everything you just said here is wrong. You need to look at what Scripture says and what the Church has always taught.
 
For those having trouble with this subject:

Catechism of Pope St. Pius X - First Commandment
15 Q: What else does the First Commandment forbid?
A: The First Commandment also forbids all dealings with the devil, and all association with anti-Christian sects.

Catholic Encyclopedia - Religious Indifferentism
All religions, indeed, may be said to contain some measure of truth; and God may accept the imperfect worship of ignorant sincerity. But it is injurious to God, Who is truth itself, to assert that truth and falsehood are indifferent in His sight. Since various religions are in disagreement, it follows that, wherever they conflict, if one possesses the truth the others are in error. The constituent elements of a religion are beliefs to be held by the intellect, precepts to be observed, and a form of worship to be practiced. Now – to confine ourselves to the great religions of the world – Judaism, Mohammedanism, Christianity, and the religions of India and the Orient are in direct antagonism by their respective creeds, moral codes, and cults. To say that all these irreconcilable beliefs and cults are equally pleasing to God is to say that the Divine Being has no predilection for truth over error; that the true and the false are alike congenial to His nature. Again, to hold that truth and falsehood equally satisfy and perfect the human intellect is to deny that reason has a native bent towards, and affinity for, truth. If we deny this we deny that any trust is to be placed in our reason. Turn to the ethical side of the question. Here again there is conflict over almost all the great moral issues. Let an illustration or two suffice. Mohammedanism approves polygamy, Christianity uncompromisingly condemns it as immoral. If these two teachers are equally trustworthy guides of life, then there is no such thing as fixed moral values at all. If the obscene orgies of phallic worship are as pure in the sight of God as the austere worship that was conducted in the temple of Jerusalem, then we must hold the Deity to be destitute of all moral attributes, in which case there would be no grounds for religion at all. The fact is that this type of Indifferentism, though verbally acknowledging the excellence and utility of religion, nevertheless, when pressed by logic, recoils into absolute Indifferentism. “All religions are equally good” comes to mean, at bottom, that religion is good for nothing.

Pope Pius XI, Mortalium Animos
Certainly such movements as these cannot gain the approval of Catholics. They are founded upon the false opinions of those who say that, since all religions equally unfold and signify- though not in the same way - the native, inborn feeling in us all through which we are borne toward God and humbly recognize His rule, therefore, all religions are more or less good and praiseworthy. The followers of this theory are not only deceived and mistaken, but since they repudiate the true religion by attacking it in its very essence, they move step by step toward naturalism and atheism. Hence it clearly follows that anyone who gives assent to such theories and undertakings utterly abandons divinely revealed religion. "
 
Had almost forgotten about this thread, however the recent outbreak of sedevacantism on the forum has recalled it to mind :roll_eyes:
