That's just my opinion ...... for now anyway. God looks upon the heart God will reach out to the true seeker. Of course, there are nonChristians who are attending churches all over the place. It's a heart matter and with the RC church, it seems to be more about outward appearances, rituals etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish this was not true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace out ~Beka Fix hi Beka, keeping in mind that God speaks to the consciences of all people, everywhere and that even if they have not heard the gospel, they have rejected Gods voice, also that Jesus is clear that "no one comes to the Father" except through Him. To say as the Pope does in the first sentence, that those who seek peace, do good and live with a clear conscience, will be saved is in contradiction to what Jesus (who is God) says. If ive misunderstood, i welcome your correction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
