St. SteVen said: Did Jesus die only to save "Christians"? (whatever that means) ??? Wow. You agree that Jesus died only to save "Christians"? That's not even biblical. (1 John 2:2) St. SteVen said: Were the vast majority predestined for destruction? (the...

St. SteVen said: I meant no offense. The purpose of this thread is to challenge us to some broader thinking. Wouldn't that include denominational indoctrination? [

Thanks for your post. Would you say that no one raised in and continuing in the Catholic tradition will be saved? I'm trying to get readers to separate narrow (but valid) views about salvation from the bigger picture. I have heard many testimonies of Catholics being taken aside and shown...

That saw cuts both ways. If you are promoting Woke politics on this forum, you will find very few supporters. [

Embracing Doctrinal Diversity - Unity in diversity In the same way we have learned to understand and respect cultural diversity, we should learn to understand and respect doctrinal diversity. Can Catholics and Protestants respect one another despite our doctrinal differences? (yes)...

I would say, No. The Atonement was a complete work. It paid the death penalty for the sin of all humankind. ("not only for ours") 1 John 2:2 NIV He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. [

St. SteVen said: How are such things measured? Did Jesus die only to save "Christians"? (whatever that means) ??? Were the vast majority predestined for destruction? (the broad way) [

Agree. The period at the end of the sentence is where it belongs. IMHO But, then you added this... How are such things measured? Was my faith genuine? (who can say?) Could it have been MORE genuine? (of course) Was it genuine enough? (who can say?) Bob said: When you die...

Good question. As I added parenthetically in the OP "(whatever that means)" This is the problem Bob. When asked about salvation, we give the knee-jerk response that we were raised on. How would a Catholic answer the question? Or a liturgical Lutheran? Orthodox? Is our narrow view of salvation...
