The other day, somebody told me that have to practice this and that to be saved, to enter the kingdom of God. I’m not an atheist but I believe that nobody has the right to tell me that I’m not going to be saved except God. I also believe that every individual has their own religion, that is, that everyone has their own way of worshipping God. I‘m a Catholic and I do not have the right to say that Muslims will not be saved just because they do not practice the things that I do. They have their own way of worshipping God and I must respect that. Different religions may call God with different names but these names, I believe, are referring to just one God.
Another thing is the Bible. I am a Catholic and I know its importance but right now, many people are arguing about the interpretation of the Bible. Different scholars interpret it differently so they are in dispute of what is the correct interpretation. In my own point of view, we must not argue about it because two people can look at the same thing and see differently. In other words, every individual has his or her own interpretation of the Bible and for me, the way you interpret the Bible is God’s message to you. It is what God wants you to do. I have faith that God set a unique mission for every person and because of His unconditional love, He is giving us all the chances. We may fail once or twice but as long as we learn from that failure, I know, He’s going to give us another try. God’s love is unconditional, eternal, it is not selective, it is not biased and it is available for everybody whose hearts are open to let it in.
