Catholics Fighting Non Catholics As Their Enemies; Read by ochibuogwu5: 12:05am On Jan 24, 2021
FOR CATHOLICS FIGHTING NON CATHOLIC CHRISTIANS AS THEIR ENEMIES:
Are you going to a different Heaven from those who believe in Jesus Christ Death on the Cross of Calvary as their own atonement for sin and His resurrection from death as their own New Creation Life yet they are not professed Catholics ?


"However, one cannot charge with the sin of the separation those who at present are born into these communities [that resulted from such separation] and in them are brought up in the faith of Christ, and the Catholic Church accepts them with respect and affection as brothers . . . . All who have been justified by faith in Baptism are incorporated into Christ; they therefore have a right to be called Christians, and with good reason are accepted as brothers in the Lord by the children of the Catholic Church" CCC #818


"Furthermore, many elements of sanctification and of truth" are found outside the visible confines of the Catholic Church: "the written Word of God; the life of grace; faith, hope, and charity, with the other interior gifts of the Holy Spirit, as well as visible elements." Christ's Spirit uses these Churches and ecclesial communities as means of salvation, whose power derives from the fullness of grace and truth that Christ has entrusted to the Catholic Church. All these blessings come from Christ and lead to him, and are in themselves calls to "Catholic unity" CCC #819


"Christ bestowed unity on his Church from the beginning. This unity, we believe, subsists in the Catholic Church as something she can never lose, and we hope that it will continue to increase until the end of time." Christ always gives his Church the gift of unity, but the Church must always pray and work to maintain, reinforce, and perfect the unity that Christ wills for her. This is why Jesus himself prayed at the hour of his Passion, and does not cease praying to his Father, for the unity of his disciples: "That they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be one in us, . . . so that the world may know that you have sent me." The desire to recover the unity of all Christians is a gift of Christ and a call of the Holy Spirit" CCC #820.

I am afraid your assessment is incorrect. undecided

When Jesus Christ's own mother and brother's, all of them born Jewish and hence bonded to the very same Almighty God by birth, came looking for Him, Jesus Christ, do you recall what He said? undecided
Jesus Christ said, "My mother, brothers and sisters are those who do the Will of my Father in Heaven.." See, when it comes to the Kingdom of God, your brothers, sisters and mothers, are not those who share an ancestry with you, not those who belong to or claim to believe in the same God as you do. It is instead those who do the Will of God. undecided

So, while it is all sounds nice to call those who believe as you do "brother" or "sister", what Jesus Christ said instead is that only those who truly live in obedience of the very Will of God are your brothers and sisters. So how many of those who belong in the same sect or group or church in fact do the Will of God in Heaven? Do you as a person live according to the Will of God? undecided

The fight will continue till the end of time. Catholics vs Anglican. They can't even share Communion together! Some may even require a new baptism as if the person na non-believer before!
