Raymond, You are correct and I never implied to say you currently stopped our conversation. Our conversation of late was stopped solely by me. If you thought I said or even implied that you stopped it, I apologize. I did, however, say you stopped out previous conversation in July. You told me you stated that you were going to take a break, and go on vacation. God knows we all need a vacation. I still could not find where you told me this. So because I had no evidence of you telling me you were going on vacation, I thought you stopped it all together. If you show me where you told me this I could call myself a bonehead and move ahead. That's why I ask you to produce this evidence. Now moving along to your post, I do have many questions. I hope you don't mind but I will take them 1 by 1 until I have exhausted them. First and foremost, I know you don't believe in salvation through Christ. But, on the surface of things, never mind if you believe it or not, which is an easier path to be saved, the one you lay out or by accepting Christ as your Lord and Savior? I just want you to tell me which is easier, whether you consider the belief in Christianity the truth or not? God Bless, Steve PS - The reason behind me asking this question is because of your past statement: "The same as anyone: to come to the Straight Path of God. God has not made knowing which religion is the true one a difficult task. If He did so, then only smart people would go to heaven." My contention to accept Christ as your Lord and Savior is; 1. You must know you are a sinner. 2. You must know you need reconciliation to God for that sin. 3. You must Christ is the only reconciliation for that sin. 4. You must tell Christ you accept these premises and that Christ is the only way to be saved. Please let's focus on one thing at a time so this could be easy for everyone to follow. I have many, many questions and it would not be fair to over complicate this subject matter in fairness to ourselves and the audience.
