[QUOTE="selvi, post: 106688, member: 8495"] [COLOR=Blue]I am going to point out where the proselytizing occurs in this post as questions have come up about this in the past. The general rule I use -- to state a Christian belief without also modifying it by saying " As a Christian I believe'" and instead stating a Christian belief as if others should believe it. This can be offensive to others who do not share Christian beliefs. So look at where I have entered notes to see where the modifications should go[/COLOR] Well now think about the logic of this. Can I go into a phone booth and dial any phone number and get home? No, there's only one number that'll get me home. I could be sincere, but I could be sincerely wrong. The truth is, all roads don't lead to Rome and all roads and all religions don't lead to God. You see, it all depends on which direction you take. Jesus said this, [I]"I am the way and the truth and the light. No one comes to the Father except through me.[/I]" I'm betting my life on the fact that He was right because I figured Jesus knows more about it than I did. The [COLOR=Blue]Christian[/COLOR] Bible tells us that on the road to heaven, there are only two directions, toward Christ or away from Him. [COLOR=Blue]Note that there is a difference between the Christian Bible and the Hebrew Bible that does not subscribe to the idea of Christ as sAvior.[/COLOR] You can accept it or you can reject it, [COLOR=Blue]according to Christians, that's your choice. [/COLOR]You can make Jesus the Lord of your life, that means the manager, the ceo, the person in charge of your life, or you can call Him a liar, but that's what the Bible declares. You know a lot of people sincerely believe that even though they've broken God's rules that they can earn God's forgiveness by doing good works, by observing the [I]Five Pillars of Islam[/I] or the [I]Buddhist Eightfold Path[/I] or the [I]Hindu Doctrine of Karma[/I], for example. But [COLOR=Blue]as a Christian[/COLOR] I don't get it. ([COLOR=Blue]See if you don't indicate that you as a Christian are disagreeing, the statement can be very offensive to members of dharmic religions -- sounds almost like a sharp criticism of them)[/COLOR] How will doing some good works that we should have done all our lives, make up for all the countless times we failed? You see, [COLOR=Blue]those who believe in heaven think that [/COLOR]heaven is a perfect place and that means only perfect people get to go there. If not-perfect people were allowed in, it wouldn't be perfect anymore. Well I don't know about you, but I stopped being perfect a long time ago. [COLOR=Blue]Christians also believe[/COLOR] that ...God came up with plan b. He came to earth in human form, Jesus Christ, and He lived a perfect life and now He offers to let us go to heaven on His ticket.

Now because we are in inter-faith dialogs the compare and contrast of different religions is acceptable. In other forums at SPN, the notion that the only way to salvation is the Christian way, or the Muslim way, or they xxx way, is Possibly Offensive to Sikhs or adherents of other faiths.
