The Foreknowledge article had zero Gospel references.

The Foreknowledge article has dozens of Scriptural references. God did not write just the four books of the Gospels. He wrote 66 books of the Bible and we are to learn from all of them.

IIRC, the RCC uses more than the four Gospels to preach and teach. Has that changed?

God has tested them (Mother Teresa and JPII) differently.

Then God is not "impartial," is He?

God had the Church select the 72 Inspired books of the Bible. It’s not my fault if you have the abridged-by-man version.

If something was that important, don’t you think that He would have taught exclusivity instead of the 1500 year later version of exclusivity trumping the Christian inclusivity. You wanna try to explain the various commands such as the Beatitudes and the Sermon on the Mount? Where Jesus and men apparently conflict, it’s the interpretation of the words of men that must be in error.

Paul does not trump Jesus.

I’m not entering into the ‘fairness’ dialogue. All I know is that God gives different gifts to all men. Sorry, I know that the parable of the servants is only Christ’s words, but maybe Calvin will provide a final approval.
