Roman Catholic doctrine 841 The Churches relationship with the Muslims. "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; those profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day,"

I found this quote posted above of interest,as I had a discussion on another thread with a Catholic that implied that Islam and Hindi were just "other paths" to God..Jesus was just "one way"

I didnt know that was "offical Church doctrine "now.

Geeeee at one time if you were a Luthern you were damned..now it seems even heathan religions are acceptible "paths"

This is indeed the beginning of the one world religion spoken of in Revelation and the 7 hills...amazing!

I've never doubted that my faith is between me and God. That fact seems to be lost to some here.

It's not, as Ratzinger has recently pointed out. Be careful of "liberal" Catholics.

As a matter of fact, you were talking to me. Here's what I said:

"The God of the Jews, the God of Islam, the God of the Philosophers and the God of Brahman Hindus, is the same as our God. Our paths diverge after that.

Granted, the Trinity has not been revealed to these other people, but we don't have a complete understanding of God's essence either."

If anyone's interested, they can follow the relevant discussion here.

Others can decide if I implied that "Islam and Hindi were just "other paths" to God..Jesus was just 'one way'"
