I suppose that there is an attractiveness for some to choose a belief system that permits one to declare oneself saved, put ones feet up, ignore the call to charity and beatitude, surrender to concupiscence, and coasting into heaven. After all, it permits one to repeatedly lie and misrepresent other believers and belief systems with absolutely no consequences. What a fool and dupe Mother Teresa was. [sarc]
Well said, saidly it will be wasted on thsoe that need it most.
This so-called "belief system" you speak of is one that is foreign to me. No genuine Christian I have ever known imagines that they are saved so that they can ignore the commandments of Christ and live as he pleases nor have I ever heard any pastor preach such a Gospel. I suppose that some religious partisans think they must invent this bugaboo in order to present their own system as one that is far superior to all others. They repeatedly lie and misrepresent the faith of other believers in order to feel secure in their own. As Christians, we have the sacred Scriptures, that together with the guidance and teaching of the indwelling Holy Spirit allow us to know the truths God has revealed to us. This revelation and its truths are not the sole property of one religious tradition but it is given to the WHOLE Body of Christ so that we may believe in the only begotten Son of God and that we can know we have eternal life.
