Re: "As for God, isn't there just one God or do you think there is a God for Christians and one for Muslims and so forth." Neglecting the concept of the Trinity, yes there is one true God. Re: "And if you follow all of God's commandments, aren't you serving him." Yes, if one could follow all of God's commandments, I think that that person would be serving God. However, I don't think that anyone can follow all of God's commandments all of the time. Re: "And these commandments were delivered to mankind at different periods of man's progress and different parts of the world. And that is why we have had different prophets at different times." Yes. But don't limit those thoughts to the past tense only. God is still speaking to people and some of those people prophesy. I believe that this will continue into the future. Re: "So then serving God would mean not only being good but offering your prayers, thereby remembering and acknowledging God in your every day life." 1. Serving God means more than being good. 2. Yes, serving God does include "remembering and acknowledging God in your every day life." Very well put! RE: "And as for you comment 'I don't think there is any one "good" enough to be saved based on his/her own works or attitudes,' don't you believe in asking God for forgiveness for your transgressions." [Wow, how do you cite a quote of a quote??? <g>] Good point. I probably phrased that incorrectly. I should have said something like, "I don't think there is any one "good" enough to be saved based on his/her own works or attitudes, without receiving the forgiveness associated with the Blood of Jesus."
