[Mb-civic] To Lyle

[Ian]

richard:

If you will note, I deliberately invited Lyle (and, by extension, anyone else, including you) to "feel free to ignore or disdain [the Judeo-Christian] Scripture."  Thus, your comments are entirely unnecessary, except for self-aggrandizing purposes.

Peace.

  Ian the christian scriptures are not the only ones
  and not the only ones that are true
  christians do not have a monopoly on god
  and in my opinion
  that is the great blasphemy of organized christianity
  christianity is a true and just path to god
  but there are others
  including the virtuous atheism
  there is no doubt in my mind that a virtuous atheist
  goes to heaven

  peace

    Lyle:

    Blessings and Peace.

    Simply for the record, I think I know where you came up with the "150,000" number.  If so, you are mixing things up.

    Revelation states that, just after the "church" is Raptured (leaving no "Christians" on earth), 144,000 people (not 150,000) - 12,000 from each of the 12 original tribes of Israel - will become "super-evangelists," and will bring as many or more people "to Christ" during the "end times" (i.e., the last seven years) than believed in Christ prior to the Rapture - perhaps 1,000,000,000 or more.

    Feel free to ignore or disdain Scripture.  But when you do cite it, please try to do so correctly.

    Peace.
