Well, me, here named a „RELIGIOUS NUTTER - no words exist to bring me back to realistic and true Catholic understanding, in the thread WHO CREATED GOD?
forums.catholic-questions.org/showthread.php?p=14799522#post14799522
would like to answer once more, though I wouldn’t particularly want to know anyone who holds a veiling cover before himself when he talks to me, afraid of anyone recognizing him. That way one can call people names, which is constantly done in a dreadful, most unchristian way in many forums.
Like „religious-nutter" me, others call each others in this CATHOLIC forum even godless. The list of names many shed over others, is endless.

Have we all forgotten Psalm 101:5 If anyone secretly says things against his neighbor, God will stop him.
He will not allow people to be proudly look down on others. - Or take Christ’s word in Mt 5,22: …anyone who (calls his next names) will be subjected to judgment…….
The other way round, we find it in Proverbs 29,27 Good people hate those who are dishonest. And the wicked hate those who are honest.

Now, let’s admit, that you and I and many sometimes call others secretly a humbling name, fool, or nutcase, without thinking twice. We shouldn’t or let me say rather I should not. Even worse of course, if we do under the shield of a nickname in a anonymous forum, directly to our „victim“. This produces similar resistance on end, and is a disgrace to heaven - it hurts - even insults God.

Of course I pondered as to why this nickname wrote, that there are „no words to bring me back to true Catholic understanding“ - and I think I do know now:
It’s because I put Evangelicals, Protestants and Catholics on one level; believers in Jesus Christ.

But when - as often is to be read in CAF - either of these believers in Jesus Christ dare to say, the others go to hell - which even is to some Catholics the old conviction, that solely true Catholics go to heaven - other go to hell, still rumors in their and many Christian’s of all denomination’s head. A conviction that contradicts Christ’s doctrine in a truly bad way. God is not Catholic and He wants all to be His - not jut Catholics. Our diverting views are nothing but a disgrace in heaven.
Though it’s still - as Christ said, a minority who will enter heaven - but this minority is not Catholics only, but all who love and live in Jesus Christ. ALL true Christians do. Even those who never heard of God, but otherwise are or were good, we will see in heaven. If or not they where in Purgatory before Christ welcomes them, is not ours to decide.

Among those who are convinced that in heaven are Catholics only, are even many Catholics who think the present Pope Francis will be condemned and not enter heaven. How ill-minded is this?! Even MailCircle broke on this and now’s got much less than half of the former members because of Pope Francis, who not only lives absolutely in Christ’s doctrine, but also brought many to our Church, who before stood aside.

We all ought to repent and try to understand Christ’s doctrine more and better and deeper.

The sentence "Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus“ (Salvation through the Church only)
rtforum.org/lt/lt149.html
was coined, referring to John 14,6: No one comes to the Father except through Me. The Church however, is here not mentioned.
No Christian denomination though, denies Jesus. But please mind, that THROUGH ME is meant for all people, all Non-Christians too, for Jesus Christ judges ALL - disregarding if Christian pagan, heathen or even atheist and evildoer. But (unless it’s obvious to anyone) it’s not ours to judge who is the better person and who evildoer.
The Pharisees tested Christ in John 8,3-6, and told Jesus what the Holy-law says: Stone such women!

Jesus Christ - God - is not bound to human translation of God’s law (not on our Church-Doctrine). The answer was tricky. Our answers and decisions on many religious questions are all the same tricky. So let’s not get lost in considerations that lead astray.

Jesus too didn’t burst out with a quick verdict as we too often do. He instead bend down and wrote or scribbled with His finger on the sand. In other words; this beholding of Christ meant same thing we should do, instead of quick verdicts: Christ asked the Father in prayer, and Christ was given the answer.
We too often are given an answer if we do not rely on our little mind, but on God, meaning to us: To take for serious Christ’s word in Luke 21,15: I will give you the words.
Hence, Christ’s verdict was: Whoever among you is guiltless might throw the first stone at her. Result: They became silent and drifted away, one at a time.
See: They at least had the sudden insight that is conform with God.
Do we? In rare cases only we do!

Let’s always keep in mind the devastating, though true word of Christ, when He said in Mt 12.36: I earn you that people will have to explain about every careless thing they have said about others. This goes for me, as for all my brethren on earth.

Lets fearfully beware, that we not belong to that lot, of which Isaiah heard from God and Jesus Christ repeated in Mt 13,15: For the heart of this people has become dull; they are hard of hearing, and they have shut their eyes, so that they would not see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them. Repeated in many others, like in Acts 28,27

Yours

Hi Bruno. I never thought that all Evangelicals go to hell, so not really an issue as far as I’m concerned.

But since you brought it up, it occurs to me that if someone did say that, then I could make it alright (after the manner of some) by saying “Well, you have to know how ‘Evangelical’ is being defined for that sentence. If someone isn’t going to hell, then he isn’t an Evangelical, as the word is being used here.”
 
Hope that made you feel better. Words from others can do you no harm. Just pray for them and move on. We don’t know who is destined for heaven or hell. All we can do is try our best to be on the heaven list!
 
I dare say that you may even find a person in heaven who was an atheist in their former life.

God sets a path for us to follow, but i don’t think God’s love and mercy is restricted by that path.
 
I don’t know who would say such a silly thing but I certainly don’t believe that Evangelicals go to hell, or that any basically good person whether Evangelical, other Christian, non-Christian, or nonbeliever would go to Hell.

The simple truth is that none of us have a clue who is going to Heaven or Hell. Only God knows what’s in a person’s heart and only God decides. Moreover, we should be concerned with keeping our own selves and perhaps our immediate family members and loved ones out of Hell, not pronouncing our uninformed predictions on others.
 
Who’s going to Hell? I dunno. I’ve got enough trouble keeping MYSELF out of Hell to start worrying about things above my paygrade…
 
you say: “I don’t know who would say such a silly thing”
Well - many say so.

But there are many Catholics who say Evangelicals go to hell
and even more Protestants who say Catholics go to hell.

Just one out of countless pages:
jesus-is-savior.com/False%20Religions/Roman%20Catholicism/fools.htm

if you care, you also find same amount who say Protestants go to hell.

Same you find bags of anti-Pope-Francis sites, I even quite a fwe of my Catholic friends refute me in my adoration or Pope Francis.
Just see this site and you know what I’m talking about:

Here, from the 1,17th minute on, terrible accusations against Pope Francis are spread
under the title „False Pope False Hope".

ok - it’s a non-catholic site - but you even find catholic ones of same or similar kind
 
Chasing that stuff around on the internet will rob you of peace and drive you bonkers.

I don’t know what else to say of your concerns except that there are all sorts of vitriol spewing ignorant knobs on the internet.
You’ll not effect any change in that.

Its true.

Exactly. When I say “I don’t know who’d say such a thing” I am thinking of people I encounter in real life, who tend to be sane, normal, thoughtful people, not ranting nuts living in a basement and posting vitriol on the Internet. I’m aware I can find all sorts of religious crazies, racists, and haters of all types online without half looking, which is why I avoid looking under rocks where they might be and hit an ignore/ block/ report/ off button when one pops up.
 
Nah its sad that so many Christians of all those protestant denominations arent part of our catholic church and they really miss something because they live without the sacrements BUT
What i often love about the evangelicals is how outspoken they love Jesus and follow the gospels without any intellectual hoo-ha, there’s no way Jesus will reject people who honestly love Him!

Amen to that. I’m always sad we had the Protestant schism because every group that left seemed to take some really awesome quality with them. For Evangelicals it’s their enthusiasm and trust in the Lord. I pray and hope for the day when we’ll all be as one and the Evangelicals can bring that back to the Catholic Church with them.
 
Amen to these. If not because of my Evangelical friend who shows me how hanged Anglican Church of Canada is, I may have joined Anglican of Canada in Diocese of New Westminster (the first Anglican Church to bless same sex marriage)

Well, I don’t “chase around the net” to find this, but in found it in very many forums. I was truly in many Christian forums ever since forums exist. In Catholic ones as in Protestant ones. In nearly all I had that very problem; that denominations where furious against another.

Oh yes, I could effect a change in some minds - though just in some people’s thoughts, that no CHRISTIAN denomination automatically goes to hell.

We really all have to fight this in the Name of God and the to all late Popes - to Johannes XIII - Paul V - John-Paul II - Benedict and presently finally Pope Francis, is a so very important matter of the heart, that every single one of us Catholics ought to do his part in this relevance.

It’s really a disgrace before God and a laugh to non-Christian religions, when Christians fight each other in religious things by the worst allegation thinkable:
„The others, who are not my Church, go to hell“.
 
There’s an old joke about this kind of thing.

Peter was showing some evangelicals around heaven. One asked “What’s that walled-off section?”. “Oh, that’s the Catholics”, Peter replied, “they think they’re the only ones here and we don’t like to disappoint them”.

Next day, Peter was showing some Catholics around heaven. One asked “What’s that walled-off section?”. “Oh, that’s the evangelicals”, Peter replied, “they think they’re the only ones here and we don’t like to disappoint them”.
 
Good joke ;-D

I said above:
…you say: “I don’t know who would say such a silly thing”
Well - many say so…
there I was going to post this screenshot - but forgot:
I surched here in CAF, and it told me it appears 995 times.
Probably not in this very sense, but halve as many would
be more than enough too!

There’s no need to go chasing, it’s all to easy to run into such statements without trying. Heck, on the Catholic Answers Forum I use the “Ignore list” feature far more than some think is advisable, and I still haven’t managed to completely avoid “Protestants are led by the devil” posts and others just as bad.

The thing is, we can each only make our own choices. I can’t decide what content another person posted on the Internet, but I can choose not to “Like Share and Subscribe” etc.
 
Let’s look at it this way:
Jesus Christ set a precise precondition to make us Christians at all. It’s Christ’s command of love in Mt 22,37 and 39. Christ even added, that “all the law and the prophets depend on these two commandments”.

Hence; to avoid these people on either Christian denomination who say others go to hell and not to “Like Share and Subscribe” etc. remains no solution of the problem. Though it protects us, it lacks Christ’s and such God’s fundamental law for being His people; such excludes us of Christianity. A very dangerous thing!

Remember, that Jesus Christ even called into His closest inner circle, a by all Jews hated tax-collector. St. Matthew, who after Jesus’ resurrection wrote Christ’s Gospel “of Matthew” inspired by an Angel, who gave St. Matthew the wording.
Not only Mathew himself is depicted with an Angel inspiring him, but also the Evangelist Mathew is allegorized by an Angel
