Here's the Love, is the Love in your church?
My last 10 questions also deal with this issue.

It may be hard for you to believe non christians can find salvation. Not for me.

I find it fascinating that, according to the quote listed in the link above, the Roman Catholic church teaches that salvation does not come through Jesus!
WOW!
That is a teaching in direct contradiction to what the Holy Bible teaches:
Joh 14:6 Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me
Joh 3:14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,
Joh 3:15 so that everyone who believes in Him will have eternal life.
Joh 3:16 "For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.
Joh 3:17 For God did not send His Son into the world that He might judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
Joh 3:18 Anyone who believes in Him is not judged, but anyone who does not believe is already judged, because he has not believed in the name of the One and Only Son of God.
This fairly well and most certainly does exclude Muslims and other religions that deny the deity of Jesus.
Please keep in mind, I did not say it, God did!

Christians have all kinds of talents,gifts,and abilities, but their main job after they have received their own salvation is to help non-Christians achieve salvation. Why would Jesus have been sacrificed for the salvation of sinners if non-Christians couldn't be saved?

Non-Christians don't need salvation. There is nothing for them to be “saved” from because the Fall of Man is not in their mythology.

Non Christians CAN find salvation. Before salvation we are ALL non-Christians. It is only when we decide to accept salvation and follow Christ, that we become Christians.

In the old testament it says that God loved Jacob but hated Esau. Nowhere in the Bible does it say God loves everyone.what it does say is He loves those who keep his commandments.Also without faith it is impossible to please God.Instead of Christian lets go with children of God. the term christian in the bible was said to be used in a negative way like the N word.

Didn't you just ask this question.
I have the same answer - they can find salvation. Everyone has to find salvation.

The Lord is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
