what believers accept without thinking

[Drich]

The bible does not say this.

The bible doesn't state a great many things which theists still believe to be true.

There is general belief

and there is Bible based belief.

I can belief that a preist should never marry, but at the same time I can not call that bible based belief because the bible says the exact oppsite (Bewary of those who tell you, you can not marry)

because no one race or religion has the only key to Heaven. The key is Christ and all who approach Him are welcomed.

Legitimately impressive double-speak.  I think I feel a little dizzy.

It would seem, that if christ is the only key, then only one religion..specifically..christianity, has that key....and that further, only one group of people possess it.....christians.......



Is you is, or is you aint god's constichency?

What a short mind foolish statement that is.. Was Adam barred from Heaven? what about Isaac, Jacob, abraham or any of his sons? No, any fool who knew only the minimum world say God would welcome these people into the fold.. But wait a tick they live before the law before "RELIGION" that would make the deist not Christian. Then what about moses and everyone in the OT who God favored who came after the Law??? Would God expel them from Heaven? NO! matter of fact a few of those guys were identified as most holy and most god like of whom ever has been born of woman.. But wait a second tick they were JEWS and again not Christian!!!

So how do these non Christian enter Heaven? The same way the Christians do.. Through Christ! Apart from any religious statement or vow. Tey stand before Christ and Christ judges them and there exposure to God and what they did with the gifts God gave. To that they will be judged. not by the wisdom and traditions of man but by Christ alone. As He alone is the one who decides who is and is not save. We are not saved by the names and titles we award ourselves. Christ even says there will be a great number who call themselves followers who he will promptly send off to Hell. Because again God is not a respecter of the names or titles we award ourselves. It is the name He gives us or the title He bestows upon us that heaven and earth will both recognize.

This does not include all the others who have in their life times been far more faithful to who God is and simply not been exposed to the truth that Christ will judge righteous wich will spread to all religious and even non religious expression.

Don't get me wrong I am all for Christianity as it gives you the best possible shot at finding God. However I have believed for a long long time that Christianity can also be used as an excuse to do and live the exact oppsite way God would have you live your life.
