Veridicus Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 [quote name='HisChildForever' post='1770110' date='Feb 2 2009, 06:24 PM']If we are talking non-Catholic Christians, they probably do not recognize "fractures" per se because they [b]themselves[/b] are fractured from Catholicism; plus, they do not understand or believe in the Catholic Church as the one TRUE Church, therefore they do not see fractures as devastatingly as we do. If they have a problem with their church, they may just move on to another denomination without much thought.[/quote] Or they may see fractures in our supposed "universality" as another obvious sign of Catholic degeneracy..."They claim to be universal but can't even keep that doctrine...yadayadayada" kind of criticism. I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinkerlina Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 [quote name='KnightofChrist' post='1769674' date='Feb 2 2009, 11:12 AM']Islam is also heretical and false.[/quote] Can we clarify what a heresy is? I thought a person had to first be a baptized Catholic and refused to be corrected in order to be a heretic, which wouldn't apply to intrinsically non Christian religions. -Katie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not as if biblical Judaism has been freeze-framed and the Jews of the 21st century practice and believe the same thing that the Temple-based Judaism of the 1st century practiced and beleived. Modern Rabbinic Judaism is a man-made adaptation of the ancient Judaism we read of in the bible. The Council of Jamnia that got rid of the Septuagint from the Jewish scripture took a decidedly anti-Christian perspective and the development of the Talmud as has been stated in previous posts in explicitly anti-christian in several places. Judaism had to REDEFINE itself following the destruction of the temple and in response to the growing Caholic Christian Church...this redefinition is man-made; NOT God-inspired and thus its doctrinal errors are heretical. It is not the inspired Judaism we read of in the Old Testament. As Apotheon stated, Christianity is the rightful and divinely-inspired inheritor of Biblical Judaism.[/quote] But even Biblical Judaism was not static. I mean no religion is really static. Is the Islam of today the Islam of Muhammad? Even the Islam of Ash'ari? I wouldn't say so. The roles of God and satan seem to change through the Old Testament.

That said, any Christian who holds that Rabbinic Judaism is a valid religion that leads to God has embraced the heresy of theological indifferentism.

cmotherofpirl Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Jesus is the salvation of the world. What may we say about the jews then, besides the fact they must convert to be saved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
