Re: [RR] Compareitive religons merit- any value?

[clint grant]

Not to get off the subject or chase rabbits or anything...but I have met some Catholics who worship statues. And dolls. And apparitions. And mary. And others. I know of Catholics who believe in eternal salvation apart from Jesus Christ. Who believe that muslims have eternal salvation because they share the faith of our father Abraham. Who believe that Mary is just as much or more of a deity than Jesus. Who believe that you cannot be saved until you go to summer camp and confirmation class. These are all lies that are taking people to hell.

SNIP When we hold "unity" above truth we are in error because, to quote my favorite book, two cannot walk together unless they agree. And if they agree aren't they in unity?  What exactly do you mean by this?  A house divided.... Michael Get more from the Web. FREE MSN Explorer download : http://explorer.msn.com
