> Now I do not think that Jews or Islamic people or Hindus or atheists or agnostics or Wiccans or Buddists or pantheists or Taoists or Deists or those that have faiths that are not Christiandom based that accept the claim in question could feel accepted here by you saying that the statement in question is acceptable. For the statement excludes all those that do not accept Jesus as Lord and Savior from forgiveness and Eternal Life.
You know, I think you're right. I was seeing:
> The ONLY reason given in God's Word that has or will ever cause someone to miss out on God's forgivness and Eternal life....is to reject the gift of His Son Jesus as Lord and Savior.
as analogous to:
> People of my faith have one God and no others before him.
which I consider OK, but it might actually be more analogous to:
> My faith says people should have one God and no others before him.
which I don't consider OK.
Thanks for persisting until I saw my error.
