Mel Gibson says his wife could be going to hell
MSNBC ^ | 02/10/04 | Jeannette Walls

Posted on 02/10/2004 7:02:28 AM PST by evets

Gibson was interviewed by the Herald Sun in Australia, and the reporter asked the star if Protestants are denied eternal salvation. “There is no salvation for those outside the Church,” Gibson replied. “I believe it.” He elaborated: “Put it this way. My wife is a saint. She’s a much better person than I am. Honestly. She’s, like, Episcopalian, Church of England. She prays, she believes in God, she knows Jesus, she believes in that stuff. And it’s just not fair if she doesn’t make it, she’s better than I am. But that is a pronouncement from the chair. I go with it.”

It is obvious that Gibson has no understanding of Hebrew, Greek or the Bible.

Likely he would be shocked - shocked! if he understood the Bible as it was written, never mind the 'Catholic' version. (BTW I grew up Catholic and remain a christian)

Well, Mel is Catholic - this whole "Non-Catholics go to hell" thing is Catholic dogma, and one of the reasons Luther broke away. What is interesting is that Mel's father is a very angry Catholic, and has broken from the pope (from what I understand) - so an even better question is "Is your father going to go to hell because he has renounced the pope?" That is my opinion anyway.

This is my problem with Catholicism in a nutshell. Too many people listening to what a man says rather than what the Bible says. That'll get you into a world of trouble every time.

Sorry, Mel, I think you're a great guy, but you are DEAD wrong about this one.

What did MSNBC think he believed? Hahahahah! So Mel thinks I am going to hell? I am supposed to be bothered by this? I love the guy! Good for him. Fortunately for me, he is not the guy deciding who goes to hell and who does not. But I do not take offense to that at all. Of course he thinks that. He is not calling me a bad person. We are all sinners. His point is about the process of redemption, that is, how mankind actually receives salvation. On all the important things we agree -- God, sin, Christ, etc... Whether he thinks I have to be a Caltholic or not is no big deal.

But nice try at dividing to conquer, MSNBC. Won't work.

Let him believe what he wants. I honestly don't care. There are a lot of Protestants who believe he's not going, either. My salvation does not depend on the opinion of Mel Gibson, my salvation depends on the grace of God and on that I'll stand firm.

This is just a media attempt to hurt the film and I ask everyone to avert their eyes from this sorry scene.

I am a lifelong Catholic and spent 9 years in Catholic school, and I was never taught that you must be Catholic to be saved. Never.

I don't mean to be contrary, but "men" wrote the Bible. Jesus' teaching were in the oral tradition and written up long after.

Joke time!!!!


A Methodist dies and goes to Heaven (naturally) and he is escorted to the elevator by St Peter. St Peter tells him "The Methodists are on the 44th floor. But you must keep quiet as we go by the 1st floor". "Why is that?" the Methodist asks. "Because that is the Catholic floor and they think they are the only ones here" replied Peter

I don't remember any such teaching either.
