Countering with another false religion. How telling.
I stand by peace and tolerance toward my fellow man. I will never "bless" a war like the pope and other christian priests have done.

2 Thes 1:7-9 .. the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power.

I've come to the conclusion that Jesus would Not have said 'you only come to the father through me'.
Maybe "you only come to the father through my example" or something like that ....

In Romans 2:10-15, there are some verses which Christians cannot properly explain and which they prefer to ignore. Basically it says that those without law who do the will of God can get salvation .. thats my interpretation anyhow.
