Wow...that is incredible. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life....unless you have faith that you can fulfill the righteous requirements of the Law by yourself.

This is nothing short of heresy. The very fact that the Jews (and all humans) cannot uphold their end of the covenant is intended to point to their need of Christ. Unless they keep the Law perfectly and are sinless, they will not gain eternal life. Period. Only by having Christ's righteousness imputed to us can we stand before God.

What difference one works based religion or another?

I agree on the heresy bit - more typical Catholic Church liberalism - slicing and dicing of the Word to suit modern times....great advice - be in the Word, not the World...this is the most representative group espousing 'Christianity' - yet this is what the spew - unbelievable...

Its all in the word folks:

1 John 5:11 says:

'And this is the testimony. God has given us eternal life and this live is in his Son Jesus. Those who have the Son have eternal life, those who do not have the Son of God do not have eternal life'

How can Catholics dispute that? How can they arrive at their conclusion - the Truth is the Truth is the Truth...

You do understand that this is your belief, not ours?

The cardinal needs to take bible 101. "Saved" is a uniquely Christian term. It means rescued.

No one will be "saved" except by Jesus.

They are more than able to try making it by the works system. I wouldn't go that route.
