Peace be with you brothers & sisters!
Take two...
Jesus Christ died for ALL without exception, not only for the elect.
Heaven is accessible for Christians, Muslims, Atheists, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, Pagans, e.t.c., alike, because Christ takes away the sins of the WORLD!
Those who do not profess belief in Christ, yet live according to the Natural Moral Law, will be saved. God's Law is written in every human heart. Since God is Goodness itself & goodness comes from God, anyone who performs good works receives necessary graces to grant them entrance into Heaven.
Having said that, without Jesus Christ's work of redemption, Heaven would've been off limits for everyone. Therefore, it's only through Jesus Christ (whether one realizes it or not) that they're awarded eternal life in God's Kingdom.
On a personal level, it's hard for me without the Sacraments. I wouldn't want to be without them!
Protestant Christians teach that faith in the Jesus Christ - Son of God & Messiah - is absolutely essential. The truth is, it's preferred but not vital for man's salvation.
You obviously didn't understand the passage from the Catechism. Please re-read it, Wael!
God bless.
That makes me more confuse :blink:
Heaven is accessible for everyone yet <b>no one can attain salvation except through Jesus</b>, then how Muslims are going to heaven (with thier good works and deeds) without believing in Jesus as lord and savior? please support your answer with some Biblical verses?
And so, my question remained unanswered.. I don’t know why are you happy for those who rejected Jesus’ divinity while you are 100% sure that they are NOT not going to be saved.
