I was at a forum several weeks ago attended by Christians of all faith backgrounds. The topic of salvation came up. As I sat there and listened to two Protestant pastors (both with theology degrees from legit colleges) and some Protestants in the audience an interesting turn of events happened.
They like most Protestants I know believe that there is only one way to salvation--saved through Christ as they would say the Bible says. A woman who identified herself as Catholic in the audience stood up and asked a few questions regarding this. She tried to prod them into saying that perhaps through God's grace others could be saved. Scripture was quoted back to her assuring her that no, one way to the Father--through the Son.
I was praying since she already identified herself as Catholic that she was not going to say something insanely stupid like what about the natives of Papua New Guinea who...
Instead, she introduced her 21 year old daughter with severe Downs Syndrome. She said this is Mary, my daughter who is indeed saved. She proceeded to ask both Pastors if they disagreed. Crickets from the audience. After doing their best imitation of josh earnest and jay carney, the Pastors kindly wrapped things up with a prayer and asked to pray with the woman afterwards.
Anyone here wanna be more brave than the Pastors?
