Steve Do you see how one-sided your comments are?
<<But don't you see, if everyone believed the truth, in God and his word, we wouldlive in peace.>>
People of all religions, who practice with faith and fealty believe that they are living in truth in God and of his word.
<<Yes, people have subtle differences in their Christian beliefs, as we see some on this thread, but we would all know our God, and war would come to a virtual stop.
Protestants and Catholics still kill each other. Hasidic and reform Jews are tearing Isreal apart. Moslems still kill each other.
<<And you will say there have been wars, Christian against Christian! But many times, those wars, one side was truly not Christian. >>
Is it the Protestant or the Catholic that is not Christian?
<< Our invention of religions, that are not of God. This is the problem.>>
The Moslem, Buddhist, Jewish, and Hindu claims to being the one true religion are just as legitimiate as Christian claims.
<<But calling Christianity isolationist is far from the truth! >>
I wasnt calling Christianity isolationaist. I was talking about your views of it.
<<If you call someone a liar, and you do call Jesus a liar if you deny what he said, and that is that he is God, you are being disrespectful to God.>>
that is what you are doing to other religious claims. Earlier yousaid you can be respectful of other religions. You are denying their claims. According to this statement you are being disrespectful. I claim that you can show respect and not believe in that particular version of God.
