Denying Christ at 30,000 Feet

Bishop Thomas Tobin of the Diocese of Providence, Rhode Island denied the need for Jesus Christ while on a recent flight to Chicago. This was reported in the Sept 29 issue of The Providence Visitor, the diocesan newspaper, in his article titled, "The Gospel at 30,000 Feet."

Tobin recounted sitting next to a Jewish girl on this flight. She asked him:

"Well...you guys believe that if you're not a Christian you can't get to heaven, right?"

Tobin wrote about his reply:

"I tried to explain, briefly, that while we believe that Jesus Christ is the Savior of all people, and that there is something very special about being Catholic, that if people are true to their own consciences, they can indeed be saved even if they're not Christian, whether they be Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu or anything else."

The girl replied, "Cool."

In the bible, Jesus said in John 8:24b:

"For if ye believe not that I am He, ye shall die in yours sins."

In the bible, Jesus said in John 3:36:

"He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him."

Evidently, Bishop Tobin doesn't agree with Jesus Christ when it comes to salvation! Question – Who is right: Bishop Tobin or Jesus Christ? Answer – Jesus Christ.

Bishop Thomas Tobin – a Christ-denying man who belongs to a Christ-denying priesthood! May God show many Catholics they belong to a Christ-denying church.
