So all non Christians go to hell then.....
Yes. The only way to salvation is through the redemption of Christ. That is why Christians are desperate to spread this news. No one has to go to hell, all they have to do is accept the sacrifice that Christ made for them and believe.
But outside of that, yes, they are stained with sin and will spend eternity in hell.
Jhn 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Jhn 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. Jhn 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Jhn 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. Jhn 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. Jhn 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
The reason they are condemned all ready is because none are righteous. Everyone has sinned. There is nothing you can do to make up for sin. Because the good that you know to do, is only what you should have done anyway.
There's two ways to stand before a perfect holy God and survive. Never sin, or be forgiven. And Jesus is the only way to be forgiven.
The Pope didn’t say that; and the Church doesn’t teach that. The Catholic Church teaches that a person belonging to some religion other than the Catholic Church may be savedbut if they are saved saved it will be *in spite* of the fact that they belong to some other religion, not *because* they belong to the other false religion. But what is most interesting about Pope Francis’ comments on this topic is that he appears to be almost walking back the false ecumenism adopted by the Second Vatican Council.
Except the Muslims. Rome has a special bond with them.
