Well the commandments of God are MORE than just the Ten Commandments. Remember what Christ said were the two greatest commandments, greater than all the rest?

Love God with all your being. And love your neighbor as yourself.

God bless!

just wondering, there are lots of jesus-non-believers in the world. like the buddhist, taoist, muslim etc. SInce they don't believe in Jesus or even the bible as someone pointed to be THE AUTHORITY, then this people are not going to be saved? or go into the ultimate paradise?

@freeza: i dont attend any church bro... i was an agnostic but i made a silly promise last week and i think i should keep it so from now on im not gonna refer to myself as an agnostic. i know it's silly... lemme share the story. i used to race mini bigbikes (YSR's, NSR's) illegally. but eversince i learned how to ride a bike i started fearing it. i have this irrational fear of habal2x. and i had no choice last week but to ride one from general luna to dapa (siargao) twas a long stretch of empty road and the driver was like a hell spawn bent on suicide.

so didto sa habal2x i made a pact (the closest i did na matawag ug prayer after so many years) with let's say a God that if ever i can survive the night i will stop calling myself agnostic and will try to have an open mind about the existence of a God (besides by the act of praying dili na ko ka tawag sa ako self na agnostic hehehehe...) so here i am not sure what to call myself at the same time not sure where to go and worship or atleast try to worship or something to that effect. hehehehe... so the answer to ur question is i dont know. hehehehehe...

taas no? wakekekekeke....

"Outside the Church there is no salvation"

846 How are we to understand this affirmation, often repeated by the Church Fathers?335 Re-formulated positively, it means that all salvation comes from Christ the Head through the Church which is his Body:

Basing itself on Scripture and Tradition, the Council teaches that the Church, a pilgrim now on earth, is
necessary for salvation: the one Christ is the mediator and the way of salvation; he is present to us in
his body which is the Church. He himself explicitly asserted the necessity of faith and Baptism, and
thereby affirmed at the same time the necessity of the Church which men enter through Baptism as
through a door. Hence they could not be saved who, knowing that the Catholic Church was founded
as necessary by God through Christ, would refuse either to enter it or to remain in it.

847 This affirmation is not aimed at those who, through no fault of their own, do not know Christ and his Church:

Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or his Church, but who
nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will
as they know it through the dictates of their conscience - those too may achieve eternal salvation.

848 "Although in ways known to himself God can lead those who, through no fault of their own, are ignorant of the Gospel, to that faith without which it is impossible to please him, the Church still has the obligation and also the sacred right to evangelize all men."
