Vaster, these ad hominem attacks contribute nothing. In any event, what I posted must have been plain because you responded.
Being in error could mean that one has adopted erroneous teaching. Figuring something wrong points to a miscalculation. There is a difference. There was no essentially doctrinal position at issue.
You ask what I have faith in. I don't know how you use the word faith. We all have faith else we would not get out of bed in the morning. I have confidence in the intelligence the Creator has blessed me with and in His promise to guide my footsteps.
The Creator has shown that He will not step in and rescue us from our refusal to follow clear and concise instructions while we arrogantly claim to "have the truth."

Darius you say having the truth benefits no one, on what do you base this statement on? Another question, just so we know where you are coming from, do you consider yourself a Christian? And why is it so bad to have confidence on ones chosen religion? Is there anything in the Bible that says there are many paths to Salvation? Or do you even believe in the Bible? Curious minds want to know.

Darius, Why would your confidence in your intelligence be any different than for instance MMs confidence in his and the choises he has made? You have confidence in your intelligence and in God to guide your steps, well, so does I, Mike, Rf, did the pioneers etc etc. Despite this you set yourself above us saying that our confidence is vain.
Ah, the clear and concise instructions. Please tell us which these are (since they seem to differ from what we think they are).

Vaster, the facts speak for themselves. We are still here in this mess and none of the plans being pushed in our churches today have any hope of changing that fact. Spinning wheels do not reflect progress beyond, perhaps, the deepening of a rut.

Redfor, the world will be benefitted when the Savior returns to restore harmony ono earth. Unless we are engaged in working positively towards that end in ways that can be demonstrated our talk is just that; talk.

And we are back at the beginning none the wiser. Still all you told us is that something is wrong and still you havent said anything about what would be right... Talking about spinning wheels. I would have thought that a champion for straightforward action would also act straightforward, but what do I know?

Vaster, it all depends on what you are in search of. I don't have time for needless banter. If those who are on this list cannot admit that the present approach is unfruitful nothing can come from presenting an alternate view. People who are in the grip of deception, especially self-deception, are not likely to be good companions in the search for light.

Darius, what I am in search of is for you to stop your needless banter and speak plainly. If you have something to say, now is a good time to do so. If you do not have something to say, now would be a good time to stop sending lots of posts implying that you do.
I am quite aware that there are much in the present approach that doesnt appear to work, but since I am assuming that you are honest and I am observing that you still have not sent any constructive information to the thread I am forced to draw the conclution that you do not have the answere to our present lack. On the other side, it is not unlikely that such is the root of the problem, waiting for you to provide such an answere. God have mercy on me.

Vaster, you will be ready to discuss this when you recognise that we are in the midst of utter failure.

Jesus did mention that He is The Way, He also mentioned that there are 2 roads a broad one that will lead to destruction where eveyrone is on, anda narrow one that a few will find that leads to life. Isaiah 30:21 also mentions the same thing in regards to a path that God will lead us on. Now the many paths as identified by the picture in this post is definitely something to be concerned about. Muslims do not believe that Jesus is the Son of God, Jews do not believe Jesus is the Son of God, and in fact think that the New Testament is man made, and Revelation is a psychedelic version of the book of Daniel (I read this with my own eyes). So yes tghere is an element of blurring the lines and thinking we all worship the same God, when in fact Jesus Himself said "This is life eternal that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent". God Bless, Will
