We as Christians are not here to judge anyone. I tremble at the thought of having to stand before the Lord and explain to Him why I accused someone created in His image and likeness of anything.

We must remember that God is independent of time. We can plant the seeds of scripture here through His Word. He will take care of the rest, either through others or as He sees fit.

This discussion has special meaning for me. Two days ago I posted some of John chapter 6 with my commentary to a protestant friend and he told me to never email him again.

Jesus lost many disciples over this, and He asked the 12 apostles if they wanted to leave Him too. This was a serious question. The bottom line is that this teaching was as hard to take then as it is now.

I have great faith in the Lord. We plant the seeds, and He will take everyone who truly believes in Him home with Him. And that includes all the non-Catholics here now. Remember, the Lord sees the end from the beginning. We can see only the past and the here and now.
