OK, people spend too much time commenting on things that seem to be so silly to me. For example... if a Muslim stated that Mohomed was the one true profit and the Christians and Jews were wrong... would anyone be suprised? If a head rabbi stated that Jesus was nothing more than a Prophet, would any one notice? We how about if a Christian said only salivation comes from Christ? Oh, wait, that would be VERY bad. Because then we are excluding someone from our "religion" that they have first excluded them selfs! OK, well to me it seems silly for us to be debating on weather or not the Cathoic Church should pray for the Jews, specifically the conversion of the Jews.
As Christians we are COMMANDED to pray, teach, preach for the acceptance of the TRUTH. No Truth is not realitive to time and place, it is universal. As Christians we should desire that ALL come to Christ so they can go to heaven. Is the only way though the Catholic Church, well that is the only way specified; however, God is not limited by the rules he gave us. Though there is NO way to heaven outside of Christ, even the Jews will have to acknowedge this after death.
For the second point why would ANYONE be a part of something they felt was a lie? Why would one become a Christian if you did not belive that Jesus Christ came to die for your sins? No if Jesus came to die, he would want the Truth about him to remain here so people could be lead to him. That is why he had the apostles. The apostles ordained others and we recived the Caholic Church. It is the Church that was set up directly by Christ. That is why it has the fullness of the truth!
Most of the people I am close to are not Cathoic; however, I still manage to be peaceful with them. This peace does not mean I tell them that I do not think they have something lacking. They know that I love them dearly and that is why I cannot say they do not have anything missing. People may have gone back to the Bible to guess what the early chruch did for services, but they did not bother to go back and see how these services were held because they feel that the Bible is the only source of information.
The Catholic Church has the fullness of the Truth, of course you may disagree with me... that is why you would not be Caholic. If you agree with me then you are (or should become very soon) Caholic.
Here are some people who have a bit to say that I wanted to present... That is what led me on this tangent.
First, we have a question of if the Caholic Church is the only means of salvaction. Well here we have some information about what the church teaches and why the ripples are made.
Here is one man's opinion on issues that he truly does not understand! I think he does not know what the Pope's real purpose is.
Now let us not forget this guy who seems to think that the church should not try to go back to a better time, but to more heavly address today's problems. Well I am not sure if he knows... the sins of today are the same as the ones 2000 years previous. It is not that we need to address them more, but we need to change oursleves!
Last but not least, somthing on a different note. It seems an artical about the Pope commenting on a death penalty victim. Wow! These are not seen that much.
