Quote:Interesting would you be so gracious as to expand on that?
Quote:If no Crucifixion, no death and no resurrection of Jesus pbuh, and so if you don't believe in Crucifixion according to your church and Paul, then your faith is in vain and your preaching is in vain.
Basically, not everyone who believes in the Crucifixion is automatically saved & not everyone who doesn't believe in the Crucifixion is condemned. Both explicit & implicit belief count. Only God can judge.
In regards to Wael's comment... that reference concerns heretics... which is a whole another story. Of course it's essential for a Catholic to have faith in Christ's Crucifixion but not everyone in the world is Catholic. They, having also been redeemed, are saved through 'Baptism of Desire'. I think I've touched on this point before.
Back to the woman in question, I'm not denying that her ideas are contradictory... she's obviously gone & invented her own religion, but she's not the first & she won't be the last. She acknowledges God so that's better than nothing. May He bless, guide & accept her works.
Take care Guys!
