- Do the roman catholic proved that they are only obeyed what jesus christ command?
- Do the other religious group that are not obeying the commandment of jesus christ of his gospel, can they have avail the promises of jesus christ to have an everlasting life
False choice, since Lutherans don’t believe that either. Else, why would we accept the early councils and the Creeds?I agree, the Catholic church is the one and only handed to peter right in the bible to build his church on. No other church can trace their family tree back to Jesus but the Catholic church. **Not to mention the first reformation or should I say heresy< was the Lutherans in the 1600s. Lets give Jesus some credit…do we truly believe he waited 1,600 years to institute the right church? He died on the cross, resurrected, then left us wandering aimlessly till the lutherans came along afetr nearly two thousand years? **I dont think so. He had our instruction and guidance set in place before he even died. He did that through peter and its called the Catholic church.
So other Christians who don’t believe that RCC is the only church with the truth are going to hell?Keep reading and you will discover more.
- Read any book by the Early Church Fathers: Justin Martyr, Ignatius of Antioch, Ireneas, Clement of Rome. They lived in the first couple centuries after Jesus. They were all Catholic and believed as we do today.
- We believe that some non-Catholics can be saved if they are unaware that the Catholic Church holds all of revealed truth.

That’s not what the poster was saying. The poster was saying that one who knows the Catholic Church to be Christ’s one Church and that she holds the fullness of truth, but nonetheless rejects her, commits a mortal sin, which continued unrepentant, would lead to death. Whereas, one who does not know and understand this is not living in mortal sin by being, say, Methodist. This has to do with the fact that in Catholic understanding, mortal sin requires not only grave matter but full knowledge and complete consent. The larger concept is that, to whom much is given, much is required. Hope this helps.So other Christians who don’t believe that RCC is the only church with the truth are going to hell?
Very much so. Thanks.That’s not what the poster was saying.

Yes, thank you, SonofMonica. Our Christian brothers and sisters of other communities are part of God’s family and receive the Spirit, but are imperfectly joined to Christ. How much God holds them resposible for that (for beliefs they may have unquestioningly inherited or for being influenced by other people) is variable and up to God.That’s not what the poster was saying.
