Who is Right: A Roman Cardinal - or - Jesus Christ?

Roman Cardinal William Keeler denied the need for Jews to believe in Jesus in an interview in the Nov 4 issue of the National Catholic Reporter, in an article titled, "The Word from Rome."

Keeler was asked, "What do you say when someone asks you if the church still believes that Jews would be better off as Christians?" He replied:

"The Jews are in a covenant with God, one which is still valid, and one which Cardinal Walter Kasper has called "salvific." We don't know exactly what that means...We speak to them now as beloved elder brothers and sisters in the faith."

This is wrong! Jewish people today are NOT in a "valid salvific (saving) covenant" with God.

Hebrews 7:11 says:

"If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?"

Hebrews10:1 says:

"For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of those things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect."

The bible is very clear – for the past 2000 years, the ONLY priest one can go to for the forgiveness of sins is - Jesus Christ!

Also – Cardinal Keeler LIED when he said that Jews are our "brothers and sisters in the faith." They are not. Galatians 3:26 says, "For ye are all the children of God by FAITH in CHRIST JESUS (emphasis mine)." If someone is not trusting in Christ, he is not my brother or sister.

Jesus said to the Jews in John 8:24:

"I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am He, ye shall die in your sins."

Who is right – the Roman Cardinal? Or, Jesus Christ? Answer carefully, your salvation depends on it!
