Dr Bob
This is my original statement that you deemed problematic but I feel should be acceptable.
As a Christian, I believe that salvation can only be obtained through Jesus Christ
Can you please tell me what is problematic about it. I am only stating that I am a Christian and that as such, that is what *I* believe. In no way am I putting others down for their own beliefs or telling them that they have to believe the same. What others belief is up to them.
I also would see no problem in writing:
Christians believe that salvation can only be obtained through Jesus Christ.
Please explain to me where there is anything wrong in my 2 above samples.
