Drich Wrote:The really neat part about Mt 7 is that Christ Himself makes that statment. In that not all who call themselves Christian are indeed followers of Christ. If person "A" creates a God or a parallel religion based on Christianity, but is not the version of Christianity found in the bible, then how is it your estimation that they are indeed worshiping the God of the bible? Especially when the see and know the differences between what God had recorded and what they themselves have decided to do because they simply do not agree with what is in the bible?
It is my "estimation" that Christians make a decision about a person's beliefs without having enough knowledge to truly judge if their beliefs were genuine.
Drich Wrote:And, if that person is knowingly not worshiping the God of the bible then how can that person expect to have any interaction with the God of the bible? In otherwords why would God positivly reinforce a view of Himself that He did not want believers to have?
How many Christians do you know that knowingly worship a god that is not represented by the bible? Every Christian thinks they have the correct interpretation.
