Afrikan Lion,

I can tell your a person who truly is seeking for truth and is eloquent in formulating your ideas. However, when quoting the bible you must recognize that the bible states in 2 Tim 3:16 :

" All SCRIPTURE is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work."

Therefore, we must look at all the scripture before "warping" one passage. Because sound knowledge of scripture brings "correction" to ill-fated misconceptions.

1) John 14:6 - "Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. NO ONE comes to the Father except through Me."

Many have read that before...but have they meditated on it?

2) 2 Tim 3:12 - "Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution"

This scripture points to the fact that the suffering mentioned in my previous message relates to suffering experienced by those "In Christ".....or His Sons and Daughters

3) 1 John 2:22 - 23 - "Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ (or Savior/Messiah)? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does no have the Father either, he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also."

-- Not having a Father means your not a Son or Daughter.

Also, remember that the God that Christians believe in is not the same as Allah or any other. Jesus and God the Father are one in the same...
As I said before, people are free to reject this viewpoint but please do not use the Christian Bible to argue Christian standpoints if you do not have full faith in the Scripture.

1 luv in Christ,
Wize
