"...one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day" 2

If I were guess, I would say that you believe you personally have the authority to make the judgement of who is going to hell and who is going to heaven even though all Christians know that judgement is reserved for God alone.

You also judge the RCC as a Harlot because it claims that Muslims can be saved because they believe in one God which is contrary to your doctrine. I don't think God appointed you as judge.

"Do you deny His atonement? Rome cannot offer any hope."

Why would I deny Christ's atonement? I am a Christian. Rome cannot offer any hope but Jesus offers us hope and truth in his church. I place my hope and faith in Jesus as all Catholics do. That is why we are Catholic and belong to the church of Rome. The RCC was built by Jesus and he told us it would grow and be guided by the HS in all truth and the gates of hell would never prevail against it. It has existed for 2k years.

"they deny Jesus' atonement for the sins of mankind"

Have you spoken with every Muslim in the World to make such a claim? I would not make such a judgement upon all Muslims as many do not know Jesus and many will yet convert when they learn of him. It is not your role nor mine to look for evil in them.

Have you not read about the prostitute who was to be stoned to death because of what was written in scripture? Jesus said who ever was without sin may through the first stone.

"Do you believe they are liars?"

I don't believe they are liars any more than I believe you are a liar. Even though you lied about the RCC, I believe it was based on your biased opinion about the RCC and not a deliberate lie. I believe many Muslims do not know much about Christianity or Jesus. Those are the Muslims that the RCC talks about in scripture, not the ones who adamantly deny Christ although, they too can turn to Christ when at the moment of death.

"many Muslims are hard to reach, just like Catholics...There's hope outside of Christ Jesus"

You cannot force others to believe what you believe scripture tells you. I cannot speak for what Muslims believe other than believing in only 1 God. I have no interest either. The RCC does not teach that there is hope outside of Christ. The RCC teaches that we can hope God will forgive anyone who calls upon him at the moment of death and that includes Muslims.

"Who said I hate Muslims?"

The words you have chosen tell me you have no love for them in your heart. It is clear to me that you are angry with Muslims and Catholics because they do not believe what you believe.

I will give you the benefit of doubt that you do not hate Muslims or Catholics since you say you do not.

[stinkygeorgia1]

@MrChristianBeliever There you go again with the "hate" word. Who said I hate Muslims? They're one of the people I would like to reach with the gospel. Unfortunately, many Muslims are hard to reach, just like Catholics. They have religion ingrained in their minds. There's hope outside of Christ Jesus. Do you believe they are liars? God's words is true; indeed, they are liars, for they deny Jesus' atonement for the sins of mankind. Do you deny His atonement? Rome cannot offer any hope.

[MrChristianBeliever]

Our Lord said, "Do not judge—or you too will be judged."

What, then, do our Lord's words mean? It is uncharitable judgment against which he warns us. We are not to look for the evil things in others. We are not to see others through the warped glasses of prejudice and unkindly feeling. We are not to arrogate to ourselves the function of judging, as if men were answerable to us. We are to avoid a critical or censorious spirit.

It is uncharitable judging and speaking, which Jesus condemns.

You may want to read these passages again and take them to heart the next time you condemn Catholics and Muslims.

Romans 12:10 Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves.

John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

Galatians 5:14 The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."

Everyone is your neighbor.
