**"In order to enter the kingdom of heaven you must accept Jesus Christ as your lord and saviour."
This is a repeat: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Aghjw3inC93Gf3S2420OVmvsy6IX?qid=20060818172643AAcMHxW
First of all, similar statements are made in judaism and islam, but those are separate posts. We're only talking about Cristianity here.
I am amazed at how hard it is for people to see how this statement is the source of great suffering and hatred in the world. Think about this logically:
1. "I accept JC as my Lord and Saviour. Because of this, God smiles upon me and therefore, I am going to heaven." Isn't this a valid interpretation of the first line in this post**? If no, why not?
2. "If you do not accept JC as your Lord and Saviour, you are NOT going to heaven." Is this statement not implied by the first line of this post**?
3. If Mr. White is going to heaven, and Mr Black is not, then isn't Mr. White BETTER than Mr. Black. If not, why not?
