[George W. Bush]

I'm hoping to pick on you some here. :-)

All your quotes are true enough.

"Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."

Probably one of the sweetest and most abused verses in scripture. But merely because we are to 'hope all things' does not mean that God intends His children to be gullible or ignorant. We are given scripture to guide us in these matters.

Nowhere in New Testament scripture are we given any hope for those who die outside of Christ. Nowhere.

And that's good enough for me.

If you believe that Christ is not necessary for salvation, that anyone who follows natural law and leads a 'good life' will be saved, then His suffering upon the cross was of no worth.

This salvation-of-all-good-persons teaching is an ancient religion. But it's not Christian.

[MarMema]

I believe that God's love and mercy are beyond our comprehension and therefore beyond our predictions.

So you accept Jews are damned? I not say this in racism of Jews I'm just puzzled by schizophrenic protestant view...all peoples without explicit prayer in Christ damned, well all except Jews...why? By your views they should all be damned.
