do orthodox and/or catholic religions say that other religions are wrong?

Question

if so, i would really appreciate it if you could provide me with some quotes from some kind of bibles or something

Answer 1

Is there a religion that doesn't? If religions were so accepting, the crusades, inquisitions, and witch trials would have been non-existent.

Answer 2

At one time the Catholic religion used to forbid Catholics from going to another religion's church. And had a problem with a Catholic marrying someone of a different faith. They have loosened up a little but still feel some religions are wrong. I don't know about Orthodox beliefs.

Answer 3

Yes in fact we othodox even consider the Roman catholics to be heritics. we base our teachings on the tradtions of the church which is where the Bible comes from in the first place. There is the simple line in scripture let those who teach a diifernt gospel be anathema.

Answer 4

many people think their religeon is the right religeon but the bible says at matthew 7:21 -23 not everyone saying to me lord lord will enter into the kingdom of of the heavens but the one DOING THE WILL of my father in the heavens will . who are these ones ? those who base thier teaching on the bible worship only go d and make his name known ,show genuin love for oneanother ,accept jesus as gods means of salvation,are no part of the world and preach gods kingdom as mans only hope . then you may say who is god look in the king james bible at psalms 83 verse 18 ask yourself these ? looking into any religeon you will find for yourself if some religeons are wrong

Answer 5

Most Christian denominations believe that each of them is the fullest version of the Church of Christ.

While the Catholic Church also believes that she is "the highest exemplar" of the mystery that is the Church of Christ, she does not claim that non-Catholic Churches are not truly Christian. The Catholic Church teaches:

Furthermore, many elements of sanctification and of truth are found outside the visible confines of the Catholic Church: the written Word of God; the life of grace; faith, hope, and charity, with the other interior gifts of the Holy Spirit, as well as visible elements.

Christ's Spirit uses these Churches and ecclesial communities as means of salvation, whose power derives from the fullness of grace and truth that Christ has entrusted to the Catholic Church.

All these blessings come from Christ and lead to him.

With love in Christ.

Answer 6

Bibles are all translations of the same books.
That's not where you'll find what you're looking for.
You need to read church documents from the councils.
The Catholic position is that we have the fulness of Faith.

Answer 7

Well, the catholic Curch's official position is that anyone cna go to heaven as long as theyre good. At least thats what they taught us in CCD. Maybe my catholic church is just progressive. That seems unlikely as my former preist was almost killed protesting in front of an abortion clinic. But i think it kept him from ever going back to protest again, so thats good.

Answer 8

816 "The sole Church of Christ [is that] which our Savior, after his Resurrection, entrusted to Peter's pastoral care, commissioning him and the other apostles to extend and rule it. . . . This Church, constituted and organized as a society in the present world, subsists in (subsistit in) the Catholic Church, which is governed by the successor of Peter and by the bishops in communion with him."267


The Second Vatican Council's Decree on Ecumenism explains: "For it is through Christ's Catholic Church alone, which is the universal help toward salvation, that the fullness of the means of salvation can be obtained. It was to the apostolic college alone, of which Peter is the head, that we believe that our Lord entrusted all the blessings of the New Covenant, in order to establish on earth the one Body of Christ into which all those should be fully incorporated who belong in any way to the People of God."268

Wounds to unity

817 In fact, "in this one and only Church of God from its very beginnings there arose certain rifts, which the Apostle strongly censures as damnable. But in subsequent centuries much more serious dissensions appeared and large communities became separated from full communion with the Catholic Church - for which, often enough, men of both sides were to blame."269 The ruptures that wound the unity of Christ's Body - here we must distinguish heresy, apostasy, and schism270 - do not occur without human sin:


Where there are sins, there are also divisions, schisms, heresies, and disputes. Where there is virtue, however, there also are harmony and unity, from which arise the one heart and one soul of all believers.271

818 "However, one cannot charge with the sin of the separation those who at present are born into these communities [that resulted from such separation] and in them are brought up in the faith of Christ, and the Catholic Church accepts them with respect and affection as brothers . . . . All who have been justified by faith in Baptism are incorporated into Christ; they therefore have a right to be called Christians, and with good reason are accepted as brothers in the Lord by the children of the Catholic Church."272

819 "Furthermore, many elements of sanctification and of truth"273 are found outside the visible confines of the Catholic Church: "the written Word of God; the life of grace; faith, hope, and charity, with the other interior gifts of the Holy Spirit, as well as visible elements."274 Christ's Spirit uses these Churches and ecclesial communities as means of salvation, whose power derives from the fullness of grace and truth that Christ has entrusted to the Catholic Church. All these blessings come from Christ and lead to him,275 and are in themselves calls to "Catholic unity.

Yes. But to quote Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, "Nobody's right, if everybody's wrong."
