If it is, then we cannot seperate dogmatism concerning a particular theology from the declaration of that theology concerning who is and is not saved.<BR/><BR/>(2)Your are acurate that people have no problem with claims to have a right theology. I know plenty people that are not Christians are are fine with my Christianity. If one day I looked them in the eye and said, "Well, my Christianity says that unless you accept my Christianity, you can expect to participate in God's eternal BBQ" I would probably get socked in the mouth.<BR/><BR/>(3) Your point about Jesus as Lord is a good one. That partially fits into my view of heaven as I wrote it. It removes the question from a mere philosophical question about which religion has truth to a eschatological question of whether or not one will accept the world rule of Messiah.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
