Quoted By:
In the official Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) on page 230 the Catholic church teaches,
>The Churches relationship with Muslims. "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day." (CCC, p. 223, #841)
Muslims are in a false religion (Islam). Islam teaches Jesus was "not . . . crucified" (Quran, Surat 4, Ayat 157) and was not God's Son (S. 9, A. 30). Thus, Islam rejects the true Christ who died for all mankind (S. 4:157, 171; 5:17; 9:30; John 3:16; 1 Timothy 2:6). I John 2:23 says,
>Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
The Catholic church attributes salvation to the Muslims. This denies the words of Christ (John 14:6), and makes the Catholic way very broad (Matthew 7:13-14; Luke 13:24). They accept (as saved) even those who reject the Son of God.
>He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son. (1 John 5:10)
Muslims make God a liar. This makes Muslims "liars," for they bear false witness of God (Pro 12:17; 21:28). Thus, Revelation 21:8 stands true for all Muslims.
>But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. (Rev 21:8)
