Well you are working based off of some false pretenses, but you are about to start touching on the nature of reality.
Well that's an amusing assertion. The kettle calling the pot black.
I'm quite sure my understanding is a bit more complete than yours

What you are sure of is that in your mind, your understanding appears to be more complete than mine.
If Jesus = God is not more certain than 2+2=4 to you then I assure you it might be a good idea to reconsider the thing you are so sure of.

I take pride in the fact that I have gotten to a place in life where I can help other people without injury to my own and my family's well being.
Originally posted by NarrowGate
You take pride in that? You do not understand your reality.
Second you did not get there on your own, and the circumstances that allow it are not of your making. That goes for anyone.
BUT at least you take pride in your money instead of your intelligence, you seem to be proud of the latter but extremely lacking in it. Well, that is my observation in the few conversations we have had.

Well, I could approach it from the universal approach to religion and say that the avatar concept of God would explain the universality of religion and the culture demonstrates the differences. Personally I find the concept of avatars very possible and I think in Christianity the Holy Trinity is an example.
Writing papers? It depends on the subject, the audience, and the amount of time I have to write.

Yes there is only one Way and that is Jesus.
Originally posted by NarrowGate
So you are saying there is more than one Way to the Father, and that God has appeared in many forms?

Christianity is true anything else is Idol worship. We choose between Jesus and Satan in this life.

How does demons and Satan NOT account for all of the false religions? You can make a vague assertion, but you can not logically say that you have evidence that is not the case.

As you can see with AM, many are unaware that Satan appears to be benevolent.
No man seweth a piece of undressed cloth on an old garment: else that which should fill it up taketh from it, the new from the old, and a worse rent is made. And no man putteth new wine into old wineskins; else the wine will burst the skins, and the wine perisheth, and the skins: but they put new wine into fresh wine-skins.

Only people with little to no ambition speak like this.

You said we were done ages ago but you just cannot resist coming back. But it is fine with me, I know some people enjoy masochism.

perhaps we should bypass these intermediaries altogether and go directly to the CEO?

If there are so many religions how are we really going to know which is the correct one? We can't and it would waste time trying to glean all the information contained in each to never find-out the "correct" path. So why do it?

I don't recognize any label or bait-and-switch tactics for this religion or that religion, no matter how long they've existed. I'd rather discount ALL of them and be proud to have a Father. All the religions of man are subject to disinformation even though inspired by God; and it was man who wrote and transcribed them and can be influenced by sinful things to change them for their own greed and lust.
