You know where all those roads led? "For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast." Eph. 2:8,9.

Those roads led to the gospel of your salvation. It begins with Christ. It ends with Christ.

My religion is older than you think. Since around 63 A.D. And actually it's not a religion. It's a belief. It's God reaching out to man. Religion is man reaching out to God. With all the goodness and works and righteousness he can muster. To no avail.

Friend, I have to conclude you actually think I’m going to believe St. Paul taught that Dispensationalist mumbo–jumbo ginned up in the 1800s.

AND, that I’m gonna believe Christian doesn’t mean a follower of Christ.

Sorry, not gonna happen.

This secret decoding stuff is all fun and games for a while, but when it tosses out the ministry of my Saviour and lectures me about it?

I think it deserves a stiff dose of reality. And then being ignored all the way to the dustbin.
