Christianity didn’t come into being for 2,000 years after Abraham, but he still believed in the Messiah and it did happen. Muslims are Ishmaelites and they still fight against the whole world and the world still fights against them. Isiah was born of freedom and Ishmael was born of slavery. Sin is slavery and belief in Jesus Christ is freedom from the slavery of sin.
What’s sad is you have to say “May God forgive me if I’m wrong somehow.” That really makes me sad that you have that little faith and/or knowledge of the teachings of Jesus to discern your Salvation from your religion. I will pray for your wisdom and discernment of truth.
The Bible was brought to us by God from Genesis to Revelation. Your faith in your man made religion is the fruit of your deception.
Are you a sedevacantist?
The Catholic Church has already determined you serve the same god as they do.
No, Sir, I’m not.
I can just recognize bad popes and bad councils that are not in accord with Catholic Tradition. This is not the first time in the Church’s history that She has had bad popes. And VC II was purely a pastoral, not dogmatic, council.
“Unveiling a new work on the Second Vatican Council in Rome , Cardinal Walter Brandmuller, the retired president of the Pontifical Committee for Historical Sciences, announced that Vatican II’s decrees on non-Christian religions (Nostra Aetate) and Religious Freedom (Dignitatas Humanae) “do not have a binding doctrinal content, so one can dialogue about them.””
The Catholic Church has determined no such thing:
““Unveiling a new work on the Second Vatican Council in Rome , Cardinal Walter Brandmuller, the retired president of the Pontifical Committee for Historical Sciences, announced that Vatican II’s decrees on non-Christian religions (Nostra Aetate) and Religious Freedom (Dignitatas Humanae) “do not have a binding doctrinal content, so one can dialogue about them.””
If CCC 841 is heretical, and if the Pope embraces it (he does, as have his predecessors), would that not make him a heretic?
Scary stuff, this... I’m serious.
Material, not formal.
Islam did not exist until about 700 years after Christ. The people who descended for Ishmael did exist, but they were tribal nomadics, fighting with each other, and practiced no organized unifying religion. Ishmael and Islam are not the same thing even though some of the people in the religion may be related to Abraham and Hagar (as all Semitic people are). To make Judaism and Islam a kind of opposite equal is not correct. If anything, Islam attempts to subvert all the existing religions in the area to unite those people in war against what they see as their oppressers.
No. It means that you apparently can't tell the difference between a material heretic and a formal heretic.
I refer you back to post 134.
Wiki doesn’t doesn’t support anything. And your statement implied one material heretic can make an entire magisterium heretical. Silly nonsense.
You paint with quite a broad brush.
Double negative aside, are you merely impeaching the source or are you disagreeing with Wiki’s definition? Regarding the CCC, it is an “official” product of the Magisterium as a whole.
LOL! So now you have to believe what the catechism says unless you don't? That's cute!

The silence is deafening.
Mohammed is the False Prophet
Islam is the Beast
