Well, you have the free will to select any passages from the Bible. Your selective confinement of passages is limited to the final judgement. How could God have written the Bible twice. Once for the Old Testament and again for the New Testament. Last time I checked, the New Testament was written by people like Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. I have never heard anyone say that God actually wrote the scripture of the New Testament. All comparative religious studies will demonstrate that Hindus, Muslims, Christians, and Jews worship the same God. I am not that comfortable denying these people a place in heaven because they have a different tradition and worship of God. I utterly reject the fanatical notion of one religious leader on Earth unless that was God himself. If that was the transition between the apocolypse and the wonderful rule of God over all man on Earth, that is a day or reckoning most people would prefer to procastrinate. Another conundrum for your exclusionary grip on Christian fatwahs. If Jesus was the Son of God, then how can God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit all be one within the Holy Trinity? God could not have been Jesus Christ on the cross and himself at the same time. However, God is actually a part of all men, including the body of Jesus Christ at the time of his death. If God was Jesus Christ at the time of the resurrection, then God was crucified by the Romans. If God was crucified by the Romans, the manifestation of Jesus's body by God at the time of Jesus's death unites all religions that celebrate him as the One. It doesn't destroy all Jews or non believers of Christ because whoever believes in the one God believes in his unity with all men on Earth, including the one that he unified with Jesus Christ. Whether or not Jesus was the Son of God on Earth is irrelevant to the whole process of loving God, who is unified with all men on Earth. God ascends with every soul back into his own kingdom of which he is already a part. Obviously, this includes the body of Jesus Christ. God is no more separate from Jesus Christ than any other part of the universe with whom he is unified. No one is ever going to dispute the historical events of Christ's death. Jews, Christians, and Muslims were all directly impacted by his life. Anyone that loves God and can pick up the Bible, Koran, or Bible has some relationship with Jesus Christ and God. Inter relgious respect remains the only hope for people to move closer to God. The whole plan behind Jesus was to save mankind, not to destroy mankind as civilization began to move in so many different directions.
