There is only one religion to which the revelation of who God is has been revealed to. The religion must be the fenceless city Jerusalem (city of peace) where the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel made his temple to dwell in

Zechariah declares the cornerstone was laid with the shoutings of Grace Grace onto him. Then the Spirit of truth came as the Elijah the revelator and those in Christ are witnesses in the power and Spirit of Elijah. We are it my friend, we are the many Elisha's of the world who are the disciples of the one Elijah who resides in us today.

Elijah is God my friend.

The Jews looked for messiah and missed him. Now they look for Elijah and Elijah alludes them because he is the power and Spirit of God residing in his Holy Temple. The Christian body of Christ is his spiritual temple for God is Spirit (John 4:24).

It was one trajectory. Other trajectories were the emergence of Rabbinic Judaism and Islam. The text holds many possibilities.

No other possibilities for messiah and Elijah alludes both.

As Jesus said the world neither sees or knows the Spirit of truth.

That's your opinion. I think that there is significant intertextuality in the relation of Rabbinic Jewish interpretations of the text as well as Islam, as well as the various other religious movements which draw from the texts.

They can interpret the texts all they like until the cows come home, but what they will never be a part of is of the temple of God. The temple of God is Holy and those that are sanctified to be a part of the temple have come by the blood of the lamb.

Other textual affairs that other religions may or may not have, are nothing more than up and coming Pharisees of yester years.

Now we now how Jesus considered these up and coming Pharisees, right?

So it is clear what Jesus said that those that don't come to him do not have God's love and in this regard they have no approval or anointing from God.

They can worship their false gods all they like, but if they are not being approved of by God tge Father, then their actions speak outright disobedience to God the Father.

Tell me is not Jesus the final authority for you? Yes/No

I find it rather disconcerting to say the least to find how hard people try to push the LIE that other religions of the world also worship the God of Abraham , Isaac and Israel.

In my opinion it is almost criminal to even entertain the thought that the false god of Islam or the false god of the unbelieving Jews is the true God of the Bible.

God sent his only begotten Son to shed his blood for us and some are saying that this blood is not mandatory for the belief and communion with the true God. Is this not criminal or/and at least emnity towards God by those who push this LIE.

Shame, shame and shame on those who make the Atoning blood of the lamb of God on the cross at calvary to nothing. They truly want to get rid of the cross. Don’t you see people?

Why there is a line being drawn in the sand and we can see the works from both sides of the argument, but there can only be one correct answer. Is it an opinion to defend the cross? Come on people wakeup!

Your comparing counterfeits with counterfeits. Then how do you know which is the genuine article?

This is the strong delusion.

Comparative religion

What a smoke screen.

Well, I don't compare religions to find a genuine religion, every religion expresses something of what it means to be human. I compare them because they're interesting.

Universalism or universal salvation is the LIE and it has Gnostic routs.



Here is the link

http://www.angelfire.com/dc/universalism/threegnosticsects.html

We are dealing with the emergence of universal gnostism. If we do not fight it now, it will destroy future generations to come.

So your telling the audience by this proclamation that your intentions are never about searching for the truth, but your pursuit is to entertain yourself.

I find your comments truly amazing. Shockingly amazing.

I'm entertained by comparative religion but primarily I'm interested in the facts of the matter - the data within religions and how it relates to data within other religions.

I want to address in particular the last part where I bolded your remarks.
Isn't it a fulfillment of what Christ foretold in Matthew 7?
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

Those of whom you speak are those whom Jesus foresaw. Why worry when God already knows?

The early church including the apostlesof Christ fought against this perversion.


No one who denies the Son has the Father and those who were amongst the apostles pushing the lie of universal salvation were kicked out by the apostles as they were no longer with them because they were charged as liars by denying salvation through Christ alone.

Not everyone who believed in universal salvation can be said to be denying salvation through Christ. Paul, for example, in Romans and Philippians expresses some elements of universalism. The idea was that Christ's sacrifice entails the salvation of all and that all will come to believe in Jesus as lord.

Factually speaking a counterfeit is a counterfeit. Even if the counterfeit resembles portions of the genuine article, it is non the less a counterfeit.

Within the context of religion I personally am not entertained by counterfeits.

If we take it to currency context, then I remain the same.

What if I asked you if you are entertained by counterfeit money?

Will you not reply that it is criminal because it is against the law?

If we are talking about money in such reverence for fear of the authorities, then spare a thought for the ultimate authority who is the Sovereign God.

So are you entertaining counterfeit religions when you know to revere God and obey his law, for it is written though shalt worship the Lord your God and worship no other gods before him.

Now how is your law abiding in this matter, is it the same as not entertaining counterfeit money? Or do you make an exception to the first commandment of God?

Hmmmmmmm ..... .........

Truly amazing.

I wouldn't talk about money with any reverence... It's just money.
Comparative religion is a real academic discipline and it really is very interesting. If you don't like it then you don't have to do it, you can continue to revere money or something...
