The happiness of mankind is not really the goal (of Christianity.).

After giving myself time to reflect upon your words, I realize that I had indeed hit the true meaning of your post. Your post also proves that you do know the pedantic words of Christianity but not the spiritual reality behind the words. Let us examine your words more carefully.

The problem with Christianity? Christianity has no problems but peeni westbrook has many problems, beginning with the rejection of the simple Gospel of Jesus.

The problem you perceive in Christianity is the simple and VERY SPECIFIC doctrine that man must believe as the Son of God as the ONLY way to God. This is God's Word and the teachings of Jesus. You say it's a problem with Christianity but your wrong. It is rather a problem of your heart. The evil one has taken the Word of God deposited on your stony heart and replaced it with the word of man. Now you glory in your shame and speak of the problem with Christianity. Speak rather about the problem with penni.

'Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father but by him.' The ONLY WAY

Let us now look at your concluding thought. Ish's way is inclusive, accepting and loving while mine won't hunt.... In other words, Ish's way of Buddha, Mohammad, Christ and whatever one wants to believe is good and God's way of Jesus Christ as the only way to God, is bad.

Here is your actual concluding thought;
Now, I realize I'm being simplistic. But that's the problem. Where your solution is inclusive and accepting and loving, it just won't hunt in Emile's house.

Here are Ish's actual words:

X, maybe we can agree that there is one God. Some call him Budda, some call him Christ, some call him Yehwea? Some call him whatever? Same God, different names, same wish, the happiness of mankind
.

Oh, Ish, if only everyone could allow it to be that simple!!
The problem with Christianity is that it's VERY specific. You have GOT to label Jesus as the Son and accept him as the ONLY way to God.
The happiness of mankind is not really the goal.
I believe that it's a terrible thing to raise a child without the ability to make wise and thoughtful choices. It's like my saying to my boys,"Well, there are many ways to clean your room, but the ONLY way that hunts in this house is MY way, forget anything else having any possibility or validity."
Now, I realize I'm being simplistic. But that's the problem. Where your solution is inclusive and accepting and loving, it just won't hunt in Emile's house.

You used the word: You are insulting, arrogant and presumptuous

Your words are indeed insulting to the Holy Spirit that inspired the Words of God that you scorn.

Your words are rrogant against the Word of God that says Jesus is the only way to the Father. Penni arrogantly says the hell with God's Word-----there is more than one way to the Father.

Your words are presumptuous in attempting to exalt themselves above the Word of God.

May the Lord open your eyes and give the humility to see what you have become and what you have done.
