Nor will ANYONE who rejects Christ. So why do you focus on just the Jews who reject Christ instead of EVERY person who rejects Christ. The scriptures are clear about God's love and hope towards the Jews.

2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

Romans 11:1 I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew. Don’t you know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah—how he appealed to God against Israel: 3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars; I am the only one left, and they are trying to kill me”? 4 And what was God’s answer to him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” 5 So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace. 6 And if by grace, then it is no longer by works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.
7 What then? What Israel sought so earnestly it did not obtain, but the elect did. The others were hardened, 8 as it is written:

“God gave them a spirit of stupor,
eyes so that they could not see
and ears so that they could not hear,
to this very day.”

9 And David says:

“May their table become a snare and a trap,
a stumbling block and a retribution for them.
10 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see,
and their backs be bent forever.”

11 Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious. 12 But if their transgression means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their fullness bring!
13 I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I make much of my ministry 14 in the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy and save some of them. 15 For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?


Examine yourself ada. Do you share this the same goodwill, patience and hope that God has for all lost sheep? Every 'whosoever'?

I believe there will be catholics in heaven. I am non denominational, but I believe in speaking in tongues but I still hold a few catholic beliefs. the only thing I don't agree with is mormons. I do believe the every denomination holds a little bit to truth though.

At first The Catholic Church is the eldest church of them all; there's no other way to interpret that and then, later Luther, Calvin, Henrich 8. and others seperated the other churches...
second: we are the bigest of all christian churches
-"We adore God but we honor his saints." - there are many people in history which people honor- scientist, philophers, presidents.... Mary and saints we Gods poeple, which truly followed God and his commandments, so the are totally worthy of our honor
Lk 1:46 Mary said: From now on all generations will call me blessed,
for the Mighty One has done great things for me—
holy is his name.
- catholics as the only chuch has Eucharist where bread and vine become Jesus body and blood- John 6:53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
Mt 26:26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”
Jn 6:55 or my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.
Pope- Mt 16:18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.- Peter means rock- Jesus constitued Peter as head of his church- he became the first Pope- the rock on which Christ built his church an after Peter came other popes= rock on which is Christ church built
and the last of all, we catholics dont have any problem with you others, who arent catholics, we ALL are brothers and sisters in Christ... John Paul 2. and also Benedict 16. make an ecumenical meetings, where poeple of all churches and religions meet together and friendly talk about their faith without any quarell which is the true religion or church and this is what God wants from us- to live like brothres and sisters even when there are differences in our faith..
God bless you

To many Christians worry about which denomination is the correct denomination. What about we just do what God called us to do; that is, to worship God in spirit and in truth. Let God decide what Church you go to, and let the word of God be a lamp unto your feet. We're to focused on the Church, when you first, you need to be focused on Christ in prayer, reading your Bible, and a intimate relationship with Christ.

I pray some of you guys really learn what it means to really love Jesus, and not that fond type of love that Peter had in the beginning when Christ asked him, "Do you love me Peter," three times. Focus on doing what God had call you to do, and Jesus will lead you in the right path. For our God is a faithful God, even when you're not faithful, He remains faithful because He cannot deny himself.

I hope this message changes some of you guys mind and how you think. Learn to think like Jesus, and to seek the face of God. Churches, worshiping Mary, what doctrine; it all will fall in place because God will put his word in you and he'll guide you; but first you need to learn how to love Christ and to do his will. Jesus, if you are overseas, i'll swim the deepest water. Jesus, if you're up high, I'll climb the highest mountains. Jesus, where ever you are, I want to be also.

God bless you guys, learn to love God with his true love. Be fill in the Spirit of God. Do the will of God. God being faithful and just, He will direct your path, and his word will be a lamp unto your feet. Don't worry about all these silly questions that only starts strife. Follow Christ, He'll teach you. The Holy Spirit will guide you in "ALL TRUTHS." Amen.
