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,"

Christ's Church has no relationship with those who deny that He is God. Since I can assume from this statement that the Creator is also the Judge, and since the Bible affirms that Jesus Christ is Creator and Judge, I can conclude that this is just more twisting of scriptures.

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature. For by Him were all things created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones or dominions or principalities or powers: all things were created by Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist.

For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son, that all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son honoreth not the Father who hath sent Him.

If this is a twisting of Scriptures, it is not on my part (plus this is not from scripture, but from the book Catechism of the Catholic Church (1994). It is still current. http://www.vatican.va/archive/catechism/p123a9p3.htm#III takes you to the Vaticans own web pages. Scroll down until you find 841. The whole Catechism is online there, so you can read the whole thing if you want to see how it relates in context with the rest of the Catechism.
