I did not say to trust anyone interpretation. I have come to every conclusion on my own. I get my information directly from the source as well. I can tell from talking to you that you major gift is teaching and yes you are using your gifts but are you using them for God's glory?
As well as Allahs glory, Buddahs glory, God has gone by many names. If I want to express the beauty of the Qur'an will God be mad at me? If I tell people how nonviolence can help lead one to a state of bliss will God be mad at me?

It says plainly in the Bible that none may enter heaven without acccepting Jesus first. There is no other way to interptet that.

Except for the fact that the Bible has been split apart and sown back together about ten times. When the politics change the bible changes. Who determines what books are printed in the bible, God, or man?

I told you about the book because you seem intrested in religion. That was my only reason. I have no alterior motives. Would I like to see you acept Jesus? Yes but i can not force you nor will I try. That is a decision you must decide on your own.

Those books are always to feel goody for me. I'm not saying there is no validity to it. There has to be otherwise it wouldn't have been published, but human nature is more diverse than anything I have ever read by Evangelicals. God and Jesus are the way for one sect. Not even the largest sect in the world. For others it is Allah. For others it is reincarnation till you get it right. There is too much diversity and those books tell me that no matter how good my family is half will go to hell. They can not prove this with anything other than the bible and even that is open to much debate. I do have a deep respect for Jesus and his teaching. Just he himself was an amazing figure, but God... I'm not saying this because I think he is unholy, but If Jesus is the only way to heaven, Then what about those who have never even heard the mans name. Are they going to be condemned to hell without even the benefit of being exposed to him? That is not fair. If God is not fair he will be fine without me. I seek equality.
