You said earlier: “We both agree on that. But does that give either of us a license to tell other people that they are “in error?”
Be careful: For as the Holy Scriptures tell us, As we judge, so shall we be judged: The good Lord may say the same thing to you and/or me some day. “

Now you say (when asked why you believe murder is wrong):
“Because God has told us that it is wrong unlawfully to to deprive a fellow human being of his life, which is a divine Gift of God.
Because God said it, it is true.”

So do you believe in judging murderers? If I tell you I’m gonna go kill someone, you would tell me no I shouldn’t and that it is wrong to kill. But isn’t that just YOU’RE interpretation of scripture??? What if I say that I don’t interpret it the same as you and I think I can kill someone I don’t like??

Do you see the problem with claiming that we all interpret differently?? The Bible is clear....the majority of the “symbolism” in the Bible pertains to prophesy and endtimes...and you are correct about UNLAWFULLY killing. One needs only to search the scripture (rightly dividing the word = which just means do not take things out of context to fit us as we please)

Sure we all have different gifts and different callings, but the message of salvation is the same. Sin is the same for EVERYONE. When Jesus told Peter: you hold the keys to the kingdom of Heaven....and then after Jesus ascended and the people asked Peter what must we do to be saved? (that’s who I would have asked also since Jesus gave him the “keys” and all ;0) ) He answered them. Those requirements for salvation are for EVERYONE....as was preached all throughout the New Testament. The Christian message was changed in 325 AD at the Council of Nicea because the Roman church was getting worried about those preaching the apostles doctrine (it was spreading like wildfire and Rome wanted to maintain their power)....They changed the apostles’ baptism to one that fit their own view and thus messed with the plan of salvation, spreading a lie about how one is to be baptised.....when scripture is VERY clear....very....it is not “figuratively speaking”...

Also the Bible says that God is not the author of confusion....and if we go by the theory that everyone could have their “own” beliefs and be correct, then that would cause massive confusion. The Bible also says there is ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM....and it also says that straight is the way and NARROW is the gate to Heaven, but WIDE is the road to Hell. a “narrow” gate doesn’t mean there are many different ways to get there...there is only ONE....

I believe you said it earlier...we all agree there is no salvation outside of Christ. BINGO....The Bible also says:

“Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

NEITHER IS THERE SALVATION IN ANY OTHER: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. “

sorry. didn’t mean to type a book...
