Steve,
Emile may very well believe in salvation through Jesus. I m not going to judge him on wheather he believes this. However, I absolutely disagree that his beliefs are "love based". His beliefs are very much based on an intense hatred of people unlike himself. Most of his posts are condemnations of people and beliefs, and not statements of love. Actually condemnations is the wrong word. Vitriol is the right word.
Emile lifts many of his posts and ideas from racist web sites. that is certainly not based on love.
Here is a question for you. If a person fervently believes in Jesus as the one and only way, but also believes in racism and hatred, is he your christian brother? If he never changes those beliefs, and holds them dear until his last dying breath, will he go to heaven before one who holds love to be dear and does good works, but doesnt believe in Jesus? Lets use the extreme example of a Jesus believing Aryan soldier, and Ghandi. Extreme, I admit, but what the heck.....
