[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 694965, member: 60724"] All good points, BigBear. Whenever someone says to me, "And don't you know that I found it in the last place I looked?", I always respond: "Well what did you expect? If you didn't find it there you would have kept looking!" You also said: "Jesus said no one comes to the Father except through Him. If I had grown up in Inner Most Outer Mongolia would I be a Christian?" That's a good question. The #1 problem I have with Christianity is the elitism to it all. I have trouble with a strict interpretation of the Bible and the word that would dictate that the very "good" people in the remote reaches of this Earth (yes, there are still some) that simply have never and will never be given the word of Jesus Christ and accept him as their savior, will, by that convention, never have an everlasting life. If one is a born-again Christian, then that is the believe one must seem to have. I have trouble accepting an interpretation of God's words that would have such a reality defined by God himself....how many countless have died a permanent Earthly death with no chance for everlasting life simply because they couldn't receive "the Word"....or is there more to the word than the Bible? Is there more to "through me" then knowing of Jesus Christ, as taught in the Bible? TJR [/QUOTE]
