That is actually a rhetorical question because clearly you do. For all of our sakes, I hope I am right and God has an inclusionary policy.
Christ wasn't inclusionary. So what do you think of Christ?

It's not about religions. I've been everything. Started out Catholic, then was an Episcopalian, then JW, Mormon, 7th Day Adventist and today go to a Southern Baptist church. IT"S NOT ABOUT RELIGION.

It's about truth. What is the truth? It's not found in man made religions...but in the person of Christ. Yes, he was exclusive. He said there was NO OTHER way into heaven but by him. He also said he did not come here to build a kingdom. Look around....isn't that what many are doing today? Building big kingdoms in the name of Christ?

He came here to show the way and everything he did was eye witness worthy. He himself said not to believe anything without 2 or 3 witnesses. What you are speaking about is universalism. You actually believe it doesn't matter we just all get to go to heaven?

What I see really...is that everyone wants the Kingdom, but doesn't want the King. Big problem.
