I thought we took care of this. We realize that Siddhartha Gautama and other such spiritual leaders existed...that's hard, cold fact. That is not in dispute. What is in dispute is their deity. Besides, these other spiritual leaders usually did NOT claim to be deities. Jesus, however, did. Jesus claimed to be the son of God. That is what we believe.[b said:Quote[/b] ]There are evidence of other "messengers" in the past, and other spiritual teachers, like Jesus. Yet Christianity is the only one of them that scares people into believing it, and believing that Jesus was the only one that existed.
Actually, if you do some research, you will find that the Biblical texts have been much better preserved than any other historical text. In fact, its rewritings occur in a timespan much smaller than that of any other historical texts - the FAR second being The Iliad by Homer. If you want me to do the leg work, I will, but I'm sure if you google it you can get the exact numbers...we're talking hundreds of years between the two.[b said:Quote[/b] ]As said before, the Bible was written by the hand of man, you dont know how correct it is. It's been re-written many times over thousands of years.

Nope. These people are most likely not true Christians, as faith shows itself in works, as James says.[b said:Quote[/b] ]Are you saying that bad Christians can goto Heavan, because they confess that "Jesus is Lord"?
My freind, without Christ we are ALL enemies of God. We have all "done harm" to HIM by sinning. Yet God, who is loving and merciful, forgives us! Isn't that a beautiful thing?[b said:Quote[/b] ]Well it seems all lovely, if someone who has cause harm, can goto Heavan, if he really wants to become a Christian. But how does that help people that he/she has already caused harm to? The damage is done, and thats great for that person who can have salvation.
But how can God be all forgiving if that person has caused harm to other people, those people may still suffer from harm caused to them, weather they are Christian or not.
