Truth - A Casualty of Roman Ecumenism
The 'Catholic News Service' December 5 article titled, "Cardinal Says Covenant Central Issue of Jewish-Christian Dialogue," detailed the lecture of Cardinal Walter Kasper at a December 3-4 meeting of Jewish and Roman clergy in Connecticut.
The lecture, in referring to the grafting of branches in Romans 11:17-24, has the Cardinal saying the relationship between the "'old covenant' of Judaism and the 'new covenant' of Christianity was so 'complex that it cannot be reduced to a concise formula'." Also, such grafting is an appropriate way of, "expressing a dialectic of continuity and discontinuity that could hardly be harmonized with concepts."
Dialectics? Complexity? What did he say?? Thank God we have a BIBLE that even children can understand! 2 Timothy 3:15 says, "AND THAT FROM A CHILD THOU HAST KNOWN THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, WHICH ARE ABLE TO MAKE THEE WISE UNTO SALVATION THROUGH FAITH WHICH IS IN CHRIST JESUS." The Roman clergy is always looking to confuse people, and the above quote is a good example. No wonder this guy is a Cardinal!
Kasper also said Jews and Christians "must give up their claims of exclusivety." He also spoke against "the totalitarian claim to possess absolute truth already."
Some comments:
1. Jesus Christ just happens to be a very "exclusive" God! Jesus said in John 8:24, "FOR IF YE BELIEVE NOT THAT I AM HE, YE SHALL DIE IN YOUR SINS." If Cardinal Kasper does not believe in the exclusivety of faith in Jesus Christ for the free forgiveness of sins, this proves he is not a believer in Jesus Christ. I also doubt that the Jews at this meeting are trusting in Christ for the forgiveness of sins.
2. "Totalitarian claim." I find it hypocritical Cardinal Kasper says this when he belongs to a world-wide institution ruled by an absolute monarch - the pope.
3. So Cardinal Kasper doesn't believe anyone can "possess absolute truth." I find in the BIBLE the attitude of a similar man who didn't believe in any "absolute truth." His name was Pontius Pilate, and he said to the "Absolute Truth" on trial in John 18:38, "WHAT IS TRUTH?" Since Cardinal Kasper doesn't believe in any "absolute truth," I have to conclude that he would have been lock-in-step with that bloodthirsty mob howling, "AWAY WITH HIM, AWAY WITH HIM, CRUCIFY HIM." Many people in Jerusalem 2000 years ago didn't like "absolute truth" either!
The above mentioned ecumenical meeting is nothing but a part of the continued Roman Catholic drive for world-wide political and religious allies in order to gather strength to persecute those who by faith ALONE are trusting in Jesus Christ ALONE for the free forgiveness of sins.
May God grant bible believing Protestants the grace to stand ALONE for the truth of the BIBLE and JESUS CHRIST, no matter how much worldly wickedness the Roman Church can hurl at us! WE WILL NOT GIVE UP THE EXCLUSIVETY OF JESUS CHRIST!
