Jesus Christ is my Savior. He is the only way to God. I love all people because that's what God wants me to do. If someone needs my help, I should and would help in whatever way I can. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. He said so. If you don't believe Him, why are you Catholic?

Imo, all religions are so closely alike that I don't care. I don't assume my religion is the right one. I feel that I would be narrow minded if I did. What do you think?
I find many of other religions to be just as tribalistic as my fellow Christians. It's pretty humorous. I can see universal truth in many things. It must be because God is universal. But there are greater and lesser capacities, some things are better for certain people. Personally I take great delight in knowing the truth as much as I can. Blessed are the peace makers... which even includes those that can unify things that would seem to be opposed to each other.

Most things have their pros and cons. I think the goal is to rid yourself of all things that are unworthy and hold on to that which is wonderful. Only God is good!

The only time I worry about religion is if people try to misuse religion to justify oppression as they have in the past to women , POC, and gays. Or misusing religion to promote science illiteracy as creationists do in the USA . Other than those harmful doctrines, I don’t care about what dogmas people have about God

Jesus is the only way to the Father. No other religion will teach you that, because it's man made. How you can recognise man made religion? Man made religion teaches you that there's something you can do to go to Heaven, that as long as you do more good deeds than evil, you are good and deserve Heaven. Where as every Christian will tell you that they deserve hell, and nothing, but Jesus can justify them.

Bible is the only book that predicts everything correctly from the beginning to the end. The Bible teaches you of the true salvation that is through Jesus Christ. Hence we know all other religion is man made and that they are heading to hell.

Jesus told us to love our neighbours, and that includes everyone on Earth, so yes I love them but they are not my brothers and sisters in Christ. That's why we preach them the Gospels of Christ, no more no less, we say as it is and we leave rest to God. Either they repent, accept Jesus as their saviour, learn to love Him more than their lives, and serve Him everyday and Jesus will wash their sins with their blood, or they don't, they sins remains and they will be judged for them. Don't judge others because of their evil religion, rather than bring them the Gospel. Remember people who go to Heaven are not necessary better than the people who go the hell, they just have faith in Jesus. Let's not judge others, because we too not would be saved if it wasn't the will of the Father.

Based on the thread: Christian Philosophy & Ethics

I find your lack of Faith disturbing.

The junk Drawer would have been a more appropriate thread choice.

How is it being misused? Is our interpretation not correct?

Once you get out of middle school you start to understand that all religious dogmas are opinions . Even if you still accept the dogmas, you do understand that these are not facts

Your first statement isn't true at all. Why don't you name a few religions to show you mean and then we may understand you better. Catholicism is very different from Christianity and not the same.

I don't know all the different Christianity religions (no Catholicism), so was going to explore that.

I care about them to the extent that I will act justly and kindly toward whoever I might encounter. As to the rightness of their faith, not a chance. Christ came and died for a reason. It tells me God isn't playing games. It is a deadly serious choice we all must make. If rightness is found apart from Christ then I have no idea what his death accomplished. In fact if God sent him to die for no reason then I fail to understand the legitimacy of Christianity at all. It has got to be a ridiculous faith. No Christ=no life. There cannot be any successful alternative or he died for nothing. Whoever legitimizes other faiths ridicules Christ.

Look at all the Christian missionary societies reaching out to just about every country and certainly on every continent, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, China, Russia etc etc etc.
Christians are concerned about those who do not know Jesus, not just because of there nee of salvation but also because the gospel, Christianity changes people, it makes them responcible for there situation and able to do something about it.
Christianity is the driving force behind our civilization even though most atheists don't realise it.

Back to what I quoted.
If you are saying that Christianity is the only way, yes you would be narrow minded.
But,

It is Jesus who say" I am the way the truth and the light, No one comes to God the Father except by way of Me.'

As has been said already all false religions make the worship work, pay or earn the right to approach the object of worship.
Only Christianity says you cannot do it, so recieve from God the gift of salvation.

Oh brother. I know you are a Christian evolutionist and you know I'm a fundamentalist and believe in creation science, but mine are not harmful and based on racism and genocide like yours.

What I think is people like you will be misled. Satan is very good as disguising himself as light. Awhile back I started something like evidence for Satan, but he's too powerful and wants to hide and remain hidden. In that sense, he has my respect.

The following show Satan has contradicted everything God said in the Bible, mostly Book of Genesis, with evolution. It's creation science vs theory of evolution and evolutionary thinking.

"Here are some things that are opposite off the top of my head.

GOD >>>>> SATAN
Said it first (can't change) >>>>> Said it throughout the years (hypothesis and theories can change)
Universe >>>>> Multiverse
Creation ex nihilo (supernatural creation in 6 days) >>>>> Universe ex nihilo, i.e. big bang (defies laws of physics, infinite temp and density, all is set up in 20 mins); Before this, it was eternal universe
6,000 yrs old Earth and universe >>>>> 4.5 B yrs old Earth and 13.7 B yrs old universe
Created Adam and Eve >>>>> Humans evolved from monkeys
Created birds 4th day; dinosaurs 5th day >>>>> birds evolved from dinosaurs
Clear explanation of how universe and Earth formed and science backs it up >>>>> Wild hypothesis of infinitely hot and dense unseen particle called singularity; Some event called big bang triggered a cosmic expansion in microseconds that formed the basis for our universe; not clear explanation of what happened
Life can only create life >>>>> Life forms through abiogenesis (based on spontaneous generation that was proven false by creation scientist Dr. Louis Pasteur)
Started with void >>>>> Started with infinitely hot and dense unseen quantum particle
God is timeless and spaceless >>>>> Quantum particles pop in and out of existence
God is light, i.e. EMS or light >>>>> Things happen through dark energy, dark matter
Universe is bounded and has a center >>>>> Universe is boundless and does not have a center
Earth is special >>>>> There is nothing special about the Earth
Heaven (upward direction) >>>>> Hell (downward direction)

Sorry for the poor formatting. It did not take my spaces/tabs."

To Believers, Is This Evidence For Satan?

In the NT - Christians "cared" about the fact that their non-Christian Jewish brethren rejected Jesus as the Messiah.

In the NT - Christians "cared" to share the good news of the Gospel with the gentiles around them steeped in the beliefs and practices of paganism.

Christians still "care", hence the work of Christians in evangelism.

At the time of the flood it did not matter what religion you were - you were going to die in the world wide flood if you did not get into the ark.

why do you and some others on CF keep repeating that falsehood? Catholicism is a Christian faith . In answer to your unasked question I’m not Catholic

Once you get out of middle school you start to understand that all religious dogmas are opinions . Even if you still accept the dogmas, you do understand that these are not facts
You assume that facts are the same as truth.
I will believe my dogmas and believe that God is truthful.
You can believe your facts and believe that God is a liar.
We'll see which one gets us the farthest.
