Just because Gandhi or the Dali Lama don't embrace the ONE true God today, doesn't mean we can count them out just yet.

Well the Dali Lama is still alive. Gandhi is dead. Does that make a difference? If you go to your death an unbeliever don't most mainstream Protestants (no path to the father except through me, etc) think you go to hell?

Where there's life, there's hope that they (and many others) are one of God's elect (that he chose before the foundation of the earth.

So here are you saying God has already decided who to save and who to damn? Calvinism? Where does that leave salvation through Christ?

Are you saying predestination contradicts salvation through Christ?

Oops! My mistake. I take it back about Gandhi. LOL (At least from what I know of him before he died).

M-PI: "Where there's life, there's hope that they (and many others) are one of God's elect (that he chose before the foundation of the earth."

".....Where does that leave salvation through Christ?"

You have a lot of objective studying to do - if you're emotionally capable of it.

And please excuse me, but I only engage in debate with objective people who don't begin with a false premise subject to preconceived, ill-conceived notions.
