@medullah saidOne of your fellow Christians earlier said: "The only mission for Christians in this life is to lead people to Christ". So, I ask you the same question: ideally, what proportion of the world's population should Christians seek to "lead to Christ"?
Ultimately they can’t all be right though. Out of Islam Judaism and Christianity there isn’t a scenario where they can all be “The One”

@fmf saidAll of them/as many as possible

It is clear though from the scriptures that all won’t be achieved.

@medullah saidThey all have as their core teaching the same thing ie brotherly love. It is this criteria that Jesus says He will judge all people. Matt 25, the sheep of Christ did it, the goats refused to do it

@fmf saidStill, apparently, you didn't understand my reply to your OP.
It's not a pigeonhole, per se, but you do have something in common with people of other faiths, as laid out in the rather straightforward OP. There has been no attempt to "fabricate" anything.
Christianity and "other faiths" have nothing "in common", relative to your assertion made in the OP, regardless of how you spin it. I explained that to you, but you refuse to address the points I made. Instead you probe and prod in any other direction with endless questions not related to my answer.
You can't possibly not see that.
@rajk999 saidThey don't have Jesus Christ as their core teaching, His death, burial and resurrection, and neither do you.
They all have as their core teaching the same thing...
You only have mouth worship, and an exceedingly poor job of doing that too, except to project your infantile loathing of those posting in this forum that you don't even know, but only imagine to be, based on the hatred you harbor in your heart.
It's amazing how divegeester and FMF give you a pass on all the vitriol you spew out of your mouth onto these boards. But not really.
@secondson saidOf course they have something in common - as per the OP - as explained.

@secondson said"So?" is an invitation to make a point. That medullah doesn't think both Christianity and Islam are 'true' is hardly much of a point. And yes, I asked him the same question as I asked you.
So deflect away from the point made by medullah and move on to your next post and ask him the same question you asked me that you should already know the answer to seeing as how you spent so much time "identifying" as a Christian.
@secondson saidYou dont know the definition of mouth worship. It is a doctrine that promotes faith only and nothing else... like yours. Your doctrine leads to damnation. All religions promote the teachings of Christ re good works. Only Christianity denies the teachings of Christ and discourages people from following Christs commandments. Many will enter the Kingdom before people like you.

@secondson saidAre you opposed to vitriol?

-Removed-It's all explained in the Bible, but since you categorize anything you don't understand in scripture as "metaphorical" I'll tell you so you won't be caught off guard when the chit hits the proverbial fan.
The world under one political, economic and religious rule, that the Bible says will surely come, will be a strange place indeed relative to the supernatural.
I believe that whatever labels and titles that will be assigned will have little to do with what we call democratic or republican.
Politically, the nations will answer to one centralized authority headed up by a man the Bible calls "that man of sin", "the son of perdition" and "the antichrist"(instead of Christ). So it could be said that politically the world will be under a monarchy, which will morph into a religious worship of that person.
Economically, it is speculated that at that time all trade and commerce will be focused in the revived Babylon, assuming that the One World Trade Center and most of the western hemisphere is destroyed in a nuclear exchange prompted by the one world ruler.
At a specific point in time the one world ruler will require everyone that seeks to buy or sell in the one world economic system receive some kind of mark of authorization in order to do business.
Religiously, all manner of supernatural things will be happening that will be perceived as real by the unwary masses. It will be the ultimate in mind control. Most of mankind will be convinced that the one world ruler is God.
The stage is now being set that will usher in a period unlike anything that mankind has ever seen before, or ever will again.
Matthew 24:21
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
@secondson saidYour religion serves up with both [1] this scenario and [2] some palliative beliefs to help you cope with the feeling that the scenario is definitely going to happen.
