There is no such thing as a superior religion or a favored people in God's eyes. We are all equally loved by God, but we do receive different blessings from God based on what role God wants us to play in His plan for us to know Him. I consider my encounter a blessing from God which I now know obligates me to not hide it but make my understanding of God available to my brothers and sisters who seek to understand God. I did not do that initially. I just wanted to satisfy my own intellect and avoid professional disdain.

I agree.
Every religion had (and has) "Spirit and Truth" path to the "narrow gate" entry.

So you want your brothers and sisters to know they can't trust the scriptures, and there is no hell?

Your brothers and sisters are to believe you when you cannot show them this long believed truth is not true from scripture?

Hmmmm! You must take your brothers and sisters as fools not able to see you have much to do to convince them you are not just another false prophet!

The scripture said that they searched the scriptures to see if those things were true. Some of us have done that and find you lacking in your theology, Mystic!

"You search the scriptures for in them you think you have eternal life & they are they which testify of me....

BUT BUT BUT

You will not come to Me that you may have life."

"You have your heads in your Bibles constantly because you think you’ll find eternal life there. But you miss the forest for the trees. These Scriptures are all about me! And here I am, standing right before you, and you aren’t willing to receive from me the life you say you want." -MSG

NO, Charlie, I want my brothers and sisters to use God's Holy Spirit of agape love AS revealed and unambiguously demonstrated by Jesus to TEST THE SPIRT OF WHAT IS CLAIMED TO BE SCRIPTURE. You can't be shown the truth if you refuse to do that, Charlie!

You keep using the wrong standard of Truth, Charlie. It is NOT the Bible. It is the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ! I'm pretty sure you know that already. What I don't understand is why you trust a different source of Truth. That is why it is you and your mentor JBF who I think are fools.

Absurd, the narrow way is in the temple genius, Jesus was talking about the temple of Judaism where there is a literal, real actual narrow way.


So why dont you people know about it?

So irritating and frustrating watching somebody making ignorant things up about a religion and temple they wont study.

You want to talk about it without studying it so you sit there with your imagination just making ignorant stuff up about a religion you wont study.

Absurd.

There are very bad Palestinians i admit, bad on both sides. Neither side has the right to do a lot of the things they do to the other.
So, you were actually there and saw the atrocities?...

Go ahead and deny the scripture and follow your own path! The instruction book means nothing to you and you have clearly refused it, expect to be refused yourself!

Follow the crowd that says, Lord, Lord, look at what we have done, look at the agape love I have.

And He will say, why did you not believe my Word and follow me? Depart from me, I never knew you!

Agape love is NOT what we are commanded to have, that would be faith, and I see you very little of that in you by denying the scripture. The love will come by faith, but not on the path you follow.

Mosaic law was traded for the superior Law of Christ, better in every way. The book of Hebrews clarifies this fact.
Yea, your book of Hebrews....I don’t seem to see your Jesus swapping anything...
