Christianity requires much more than that.

[Guillermo]

Actually, an exception is made for the infirmed and those who cannot afford the trip.

Christianity requires much more than that.

Christianity requires much. For salvation, however, Christ is sufficient. If this were not true, His death was meaningless.

Secondly, there is not an exception for the old or the infirm to make the pilgrimage to Mecca--except by proxy.*

THE LUXOR MASSACRE OF INNOCENT WESTERNERS - OSAMA BIN LADEN SWISS TELL OF BEATINGS, RAPES AND BEHEADINGS BY MUSLIMS IN THE LUXOR MASSACRE

Switzerland - November 1997

Muslim terrorists bludgeoned to death small toddlers with rifle butts, forcibly raped and mutilated Swiss women, and danced in gleeful joy as they massacred innocent tourists at the Hatshepsut temple in Luxor Egypt, Swiss survivors said in accounts published yesterday.

"They beat a small child, again and again with a rifle butt. They were still beating the little poor child after she was already dead," one sobbing eyewitness of Monday's massacre told the Zurich newspaper, Blick. Some 75 people were killed in the Luxor massacre by Muslim terrorists, at least 33 of those murdered were Swiss. One woman recalled how the militants brutally beat a five-year old child next to her as she played dead while dancing , laughing and yelling passionately "Allah, Allah,".

Ms Rosemarie Dousse (66), from western Switzerland, told her husband the terrorists mocked cruelly the screams of young Swiss women as they brutally raped and then sliced their throats. Many of them were later killed. He told Blick of her account that around half a dozen young men with islamic headbands ran up to groups of innocent tourists in the Valley of the Queens, forced them to kneel and began shooting them to death. Shot in the knee and arm, his wife smeared herself with the blood of the dead tourists lying on top of her, and lay still.

"They took away the young women and girls," she told him. "Then a short time later we heard them screaming `no, no, no'. The muslim terrorists raped them and then slashed their throats and stomachs while laughing and themselves mocking their cries `no, no, no'. I will hear these screams for a long time."

Another Swiss woman who comforted survivors in a Cairo hospital told the mass-circulation newspaper of a German woman, identified only as Manuela, whose arms and legs were slashed with knives.

"But she experienced absolute horror. She had to see her father's head being cut off by the muslim terrorists. She told us, crying tearfully `I saw Daddy's head roll away '," the woman said.

Blick identified one of the seriously wounded as Ms Renate Zbinden from Berne, a 22-year-old tour guide. It said she had been shot through the throat and she needed to be fed intravenously. She is unable to speak as her vocal cords are permanently damaged.

Another man was shot point blank through the eye and left for dead. He needed a major operation on his brain. He is expected to be severely brain damaged.

The attack has triggered revulsion and anger in Switzerland and Japan where most of the massacred tourists were from. Other western nations have condemned the massacre and along with Switzerland and Japan advised travellers to avoid Egypt. - (Reuters)

Biblically, there are 4 elements to salvation. Repentance, Baptism, Holy Ghost and living a holy life. Consider the following:

Repentance:

Luke 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Baptism:

Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Recieving the Holy Ghost:

John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Living a holy life:

Matthew 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

The above verses are just one example in each category. I could come up with several others as well.

Acts 2:38, which is in response to the question "What shall we do" sums up the first three very well:

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

The Pauline and General Epistles sum up the fourth requirement.

You are absolutely correct.

Born to kill. Allah's will.
