So, the death of Jesus was sufficient to wipe out the commandments, except those in the decalogue, but it was insufficient to save anyone capable of acknowledging beauty in the one book that renders more praise to the Creator than any other text.

It was insufficient to one who does not believe that Jesus Christ rose from the dead in the literal sense and believes that false gods are worthy of praise.

Here we go again:
You believe that Allah is false. You assert it, but you cannot
prove it.
Also, where does it say that I cannot find beauty in any other religion?
I am waiting for your answer regarding my post to RBHILL. I want you
to show me where I was insinuating that RBHILL was a moron and I
want you to write a post that communicates the same information in
a 'less insulting' way.

I and wulebgr said 'Beauty' not 'Praise.'
Do you not see the difference? Do you not see how you are
putting words in our mouths?

If all relgions lead to God, then there was no need for christ to have died on that Cross, or even for Muhammad to have preach his own word. There would be no need for the 10 commandment either becasue no one can keep them.

Cool beans, bud. RB, thanx for finding it too.
It really doesn't change how I feel about the afterlife... If God or Jesus doesn't want good people just cuz they didn't suck up to Him, I'm not sure it is a place I'd want to go anyway. Plus the book was written by men.
What parts were written by Jesus, that would be an interesting read I'd give a shot.

They are not good people, maybe by human standards yes, but by his no.
