we get the idea about Muslims - their religion is the best, the quran came from heaven and its the true words of God, other religions are below their feet. Only a muslim can go to heaven. The swallow the quran n hadith and carry out their lives. they cannot think out of the box or go deeper into the meaning of the Quran - interpretation is like strictly literally.
So r protestants just like that? think about it.
One good and fortunate thing is that there is no orders for war or jihad in the bible but oni love of God.
Now both Muslims and Christians say they are right and the other is wrong. What now?
Be Catholiclah we dont think at all that way.
- yes we believe our religion is the best but the other religion are also good and have its own benefits in its own merit and not of comparative reason.
The bible is a book compiled by writings of people who were inspired by God therefor we by faith assume that its message do lead us to salvation, God heaven.
We follow the bible according to the teachings of the church which God instituted tru Peter the rock as it is a church that grew directly from the time of Christ.
We believe to enter heaven is not by just being Christian but by doing good deeds morally right therefor all those who do good sincerely will go to heaven. For Christian a new tot i have agreed upon is more difficult for we have seen Christ but do not accept Him despite our good deeds....its tricky here.
We see the message of God in deeper and wider and all perspectives in this human world. (taking into account the banned St Gabriel 2010 calender).
also see previous post of the Catholicism triad.
People
God is Love - anything that goes against this then u r wrong. Jesus say Love ur neighbor, love ur enemy, love God.
Who is God to the rest - all religions in this world believe in a God who is the creator and it is this God, Jesus wants us to love.
Hinduism and perhaps few other religions have many Gods and worship idols however there is an entity they do believe as the creator.
yes the Catholics do not agree to such idol worship however beside evangelizing to them in means of showing ourselves as good Catholics we should not disrespect or in anyway look dwn on their religion.
It is by their free will for them to accept Christ.
