"I know that these are hard words, but biblically, if one is not pro-Christ, they are anti-Christ. To reject His absolute authority in your life as a a deity, is to reject him altogether. He will not tolerate partiality"


"I think if one were to unbiasedly examine the options, they would see that the bible must be what it claims to be, the Word of God, because no one but God could have had a motive for writing it. Wicked men would not write a book which condemns wickedness and gives all glory to a holy, sin-hating God. Good men could not write a book on their own initiative and represent it falsely as the Word of God. If they did that they would be deceivers, and therefore not good men.Therefore God is the only person who could be the real Author."


I find those statemets to be incongruent..Why would such a loving god and a good man not tolerate the indigenous land based traditions of peoples that are not even from the same geographical region where chrisitainty was birthed? Acceptance and tolerance to diversity IMO is very important and without it totalitarianism seems to take over.


Honestly I think people make the mistake far too often of putting faith in words and books, texts etc and quoting them more than they just base how they act here on personal gnosis. Im not saying you are wrong or that I am rigtht..I am just saying again, this all seems way way over-simplified and leaves out a huge portion of the human population..not everyone is christian, and to just lable them as "anti-christ" is to really miss the point of who they are from they're perspective..it's sort of a cop-out.
