I'll respond to this very lovingly, as Christ instructed Christians to do.
First of all, don't lump Catholism and Protestanism with Christianity. There is no religion today that has exclusive Christians. That is a error which society tends to make today.
Christianity is a belief in Christ as our one true savior. He died and rose again as a sacrifice for us, so we could have forgiveness for our sin. We must believe this to have eternal life, plain and simple. Sure there are few in the above mentioned religions who are Christians, but the above religions are not exclusive Christian religions.
Within true Christianity (I am Jewish and believe in Christ, by the way), there is 100% agreement that Christ is the only way to be saved. 100% agreement. If you do not believe this, you should review your Christian beliefs strictly from the bible. And please do not use the Catechisms or any other book that is not the bible. Any other book has a good chance of steering you astray.
As far as Muhammed, God does not mention him as a prophet. Please substantiate your claim of his being a prophet from God's one true book, the bible. If you could then we could consider it. And if you wish, we can prove that God's true word is in the bible and the bible alone. No additions or subtractions!
God loves us all, and does not wish anyone to perish. I think we can come to the truth in this forum if we, as God puts it, "reason together".
Please continue to converse as we all seek the truth and we could get there with love for one another ... Steve |
