Elsie: you have no clue.

Jesus loves you regardless of your hatred for those who follow Him in other faiths. Remember: “Other sheep I have who are not of this fold. Those also I must bring....”

Don’t be so judgemental.

I have to respond to this as you have clearly taken this verse out of context to somehow claim Jesus is saying there’s validity in other faiths besides Christianity if they have a version of Christ in them.

That is totally false.

This bible verse is Jesus telling his disciples the “other sheep” are GENTILES (ie everyone else outside of the Jews of that time, the OT ‘chosen people’). It is the same kind of allegory to the branches of other trees being grafted into the olive tree of Israel. It has NOTHING to do about people ‘following Christ in another faith’. By definition if they are in another faith they are not Christians.

Other sheep I have who are not of this fold.

That is the same verse many occultists use as well as New age and the UFO spiritual believers who think they are bringing in a new world order and will reconstruct the planet. Might be better if one identifies with being IN the fold of Christ than outside it.
