Quote:Nothing in there is about a "believer" vs. a "non-believer". Even Satan "believes in" God, so in this case "belief" or "believer" is meaningless. Rather this sermon focuses on someone with holiness and someone without.
The portion Tegh quoted referred to an "unholy life". According to your "sacred scripture and tradition", being a non-believer is a sin. Unless non-believers have holiness, Tegh's point that an un-believer will have no reason to go to heaven still stands.
If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. - J.R.R Tolkien
