>> In a less enlightened time, I'd find it somewhat dangerous, particularly your beliefs concerning Jews. In the past, a lot of Jews died at the hands of people who believe as you do. This is not true. My beliefs pose no harm to Jews; rather they in fact serve the exact opposite. They are most-loving beliefs. To speak the truth is the greatest act of charity. God is love, and God is truth. You cannot separate the two. You cannot have love if it is divorced from the truth. This is false love. Once you read the Holy Scriptures in earnest, with a sincere desire to know the truth, then you will be given the discernment to distinguish between genuine love and the false variety. Nowhere have I advocated harming anyone, whether Jewish or otherwise. Should we be surprised if some are scandalized by my words? The Jews threw stones at their prophet Moses. They sawed their own prophet Isaiah in two. They cast Jeremiah the prophet into a miry pit. They sought to cast Christ headlong over a cliff, and then cried our "Crucify him! Crucify him!". After Paul's conversion to Christ, when he had abandoned the error he had held when he remained in the Jews' religion, they made a pact between themselves that they would not eat until they had murdered the Holy Apostle. Ought I be surprised that when I speak the truth, some are filled to wrath? Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? (St. Paul's Letter to the Galatians 4:16)

>> I believe you have no more access to God than any Muslim, Hindu, Jew, Atheist or agnostic! No more, no less. I'm a spiritual person who has a lot of respect for the teachings of Jesus, among others. Please do not deceive yourself. Your words betray you. You do not have respect for the teachings of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ explicitly teaches that no one has access to God if he denies the Son. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also... Muslims, Hindus, Jews, atheists, agnostics, do not have access to God with a conscious rejection of Christ. To assert that they do, as you have done, implies that you reject this teaching of Christ. If you reject this teaching, then you do not respect Christ's teachings, for you simply toss out the ones that don't suit you.
