Christianity is not about inclusiveness? The hell it isn't. That's what makes this a great country! Inclusiveness! Christianity is all about Love, Forgiveness and Inclusiveness. Any suggestion that it isn't will reap a strident repsonse from this FReeper. And that, my FRiend, comes from a Jew.

You mention Hell, and yet can't admit that Christianity is entirely conditional on ONLY one thing... the blood of Jesus Christ... otherwise... you know the answer.

"I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

Inclusive yes, in that Jesus will take Black, White, Rich, Poor, Healthy, Weak, but only through Jesus's blood can one be forgiven, and that goes through the bottleneck of accepting the gift Jesus freely offers.

Inclusive in that Christianity accepts those that do not believe in Jesus. Nope..

Christianity is about love, but love is true love.

"Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil" (Rom. 12:9)

True love is not Hypocritical. True love point out wrong and points out the way correct it.

True love does forgive, but you can only forgive something that asked you to forgive. You can not forgive a sin that is not done directly to you, and to forgive means they come to you with repentive heart. If I owe you $50 dollars, you can forgive me of that dept, but JimRob can not remove that debt that I owe you, only you can. I can forgive someone that murders one of my kids, but I can not forgive someone that murders one of your kids, I am not in the position to do so. Forgiveness has in modern times come to mean things beyond what it was intended.

Finally you say "That my FRiend, comes from a Jew"...

I value the advice of many people, including Jews... but your posts have rang only hollow on telling me how a Christian should behave. Perhaps next time you want to tell a Christian how a Christian should behave, you might consult something we hold in high regard.. The Bible.

So your religious beliefs determine your vote. I get it... Christianity, in your view, is not inclusive.

Got it...like I said earlier, Jews need not apply.

I guess this is a discussion for a different time and place. And I don't want to be accused of hijacking the thread.

I can only say that I find your comments, both, sad and quite shocking.
