Yet, you are proud of it so therefore you use it as your signature.

The same with god, all call him by different names but all pull from the same source. So, I will ask you again, do you believe in Universalism?

Not really. Though I'd say there is a nugget of truth in what you just said. God is the God of the believers and the unbelievers right? He speaks to both the righteous and the wicked right?

After I just told you it was TIC comment to those you come back claiming I am proud of it LOL.

It's not very christian to call others liars for no good reason.

So, all religious books steer their believers to the same source?
Since a Sadhu in the Himalayas sitting by his dunni fire may never hear the teachings of Christ he also could be saved by virtue of his devotion and self sacrifice towards his deity?

No good reason? My reason is logical, due to you prominently displaying it for all to see. Therefore this is how you would like to be seen by total strangers posting with you for the first time. They wouldn't know it was TIC, and would have major doubts even after you explained yourself.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

To have the truth and pray to God that we don't have the truth sounds very illogical. I would rather pray that the Lord would use me to see souls saved. I pray for the Lord to have mercy on people, but I am absolute in my faith that is only through Jesus Christ. There are much more edifying things to pray for; then me being wrong. If I am wrong why would I have to pray for God to make me wrong, wouldn't it already be so.

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

That's why it cannot be taken seriously, because you have an individual asking you to pray to God that you are wrong concerning what you have studied and prayed over. Odd business he is proposing as just and right.

Isn't that kind of like asking how many people has your bible steered to atheism? I'd say it's steered many to that place. I'm sure you'd disagree with that but how can any of us say for sure what steers someone one place or another?

So I think the true answer is that God can be found wherever he is sought. That doesn't mean everything in any religious book is totally right or accurate but that there are some truths in them and the true seeker of God will find those truths even in books you deem heretical and wrong.

So the next question is who do I believe will go to heaven. I couldn't say. I couldn't say what requirements are there. I couldn't say what restrictions there are. I couldn't say much about it. I'd say it's in God's hands. Surprisingly, that's similar to what most apostolics profess at the end of the day when asked about otherwise good christian people that died without being baptized or receiving the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues....
