Last night I meant to write I dont want to argue in terms of anger, I want to understand Creationism. [excerpt]Got it.
The Main confusion that arose reading this thread is whose God created the universe. Do you all mean the Christian God created it? [excerpt]Not to speak for everyone, but that is my belief.
And where does that leave other religions? [excerpt]Someone [I can't remember who] once said [to the effect] that any given religion is another religion's heresy. (I can't find the quote and my memory isn't doing it justice)
For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)I imagine that many religions would be left out in the cold by those verses.
But to us [there is but] one God, the Father, of whom [are] all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom [are] all things, and we by him. —1st Corinthians 8:5,6
For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; —1st Timothy 2:5
If Christians’ God created all this are all the others heretics?
Never experienced or thought of being derisive of other beliefs and I’ve read a few different interpretations of the Christian Bible and have been to various temples and churches. All were impressive, but I could see how some who are devout would think poorly of another’s religion; the Catholic Church was known for that a few decades ago.
The Old Testament doesn’t just belong to Christians, either. It belongs to the Jews. Even Islam believes that Jesus can be their salvation. It’s a reason hy I ask where other religions stand? If I know of those two, odds are there’d be others not Christian who claim Jesus. What about them?
