Those who know and believe that the fullness of the Church of Christ subsists in the Catholic Church yet fail to join the Catholic Church, yes, they are in trouble. That’s the Catholic teaching. But by definition, anti-Catholics refuse to “know” that—invincible ignorance. If they’ve been told falsehoods by someone who knows better and those falsehoods prevents them from making an informed decision and they had no reason to suspect they were being fed falsehoods, then they are not culpable. The falsehood-teller is culpable if he knows what he’s telling are falsehoods or suspected they were but was too lazy to find out for sure.
Most non-Catholcs fall into that “invincible ignorance” category. One can tell them what the Church actually teaches but they refuse to hear it. If the voice of conscience within them is saying, hey, you should take another look at this, reconsider,
and they reject that voice of conscience, yes,then they are in trouble. But so is everyone else, Catholics included, who hear that voice but don’t listen.
In today’s lying and misinforming world, many people’s knowledge is screwed up. They are responsible to inform and educate themselves and have to answer for how well they did that. But a lot of people are non-culpable victims of snake-oil salesmen.
I’ve now at least informed you that some assert that what you wrote was false. You now have the responsibility to find out the truth.
The truth is that everyone is responsible to listen to the voice of reason imprinted within him by God and honestly find out the truth. Who does that and who does not, who goes to hell and who does not, none of us can say, only God knows what a person did in his heart.
Many Catholics will end up in hell because they didn’t obey the Church’s teachings and knew they were not obeying.
Catholics falsely taught by heretic “Catholics” can be saved if they didn’t realize they were being bamboozled, but the bamboozlers go to hell. Non-Catholics who didn’t realize they were being told falsehoods about Catholicism can be saved. Those who knowingly tell falsehoods about Protestants or Catholics or Muslims or Republicans or Democrats or polar bears and refuse to repent of their knowing-falsehood-telling go to hell.
LOL, oh my. Wow. I just don't know where to start. Can you point to one scripture which backs up your assertion here or in fact most of your rambling treatise. I think Brother you need to understand the over arching theme of the New Testament , it's roots back to Genesis and how the WHOLE , I stress WHOLE on many different levels, Jesus came for YOU , died on the cross as a subsitutional sacrifice for YOUR sins. You my Brother cannot goto Hell or Heaven based on joining any one religion and following is doctrines. It's all about BELIEF in Jesus Christ, that he was the Son of the Living God, and he loved you so much and wanted to be one with you again, that he died for your sins. There is NOTHING you can do or not do to earn his favor, NOTHING. This includes any vociferous defense of any one religion or doctrine. God is not mad at you Brother anymore, he wants you to invite him into your heart, to allow him to change your nature, to have fellowship with him, to wrap his arms around you and love on you. Your post was hateful, angry and sounded like something a Sadducee might have said in 33 A.D. to one of the Apostles.
