You do not sound like a Christian, so it is probably impossible for you to understand the desire of Christians for the lost to be found... Probably would be wise for you not to put words into peoples mouths.

You deny my faith in Christ and then tell me not to put words in others mouths in order to avoid my point?

I wish I could say I found your kind of Christianity rare, but I can't. As for me, I consider Christ as the only way to reach God, and Jesus as a genuine full incarnation of Christ.

So obviously, I'm not a Christian, because first of all that's not nearly enough to qualify, and second of all, I haven't received your certification on the relationship between my heart, mind and soul and the living, eternal God.

But look at the bright side - without your certification I am sure to burn in hell for all eternity in screaming torment, so you've got that going for you. After all, can any less be expected for those who differ from your beliefs in even the slightest bit? I think not.

You are a believer and yet deny the authenticity and reliability of the Holy Scripture, amongst other things? That doesn't make any sense.

Christ only means "anointed." Christ is entirely God, not an "incarnation" of a New-Agey Christ, as that sounds like what you are saying. There is no such thing as a "full incarnation of anointed." This concept does not exist in the scripture.

Everybody always says that. Mormons say it and yet they are polytheists who believe they will become gods of their own planet, deny the existence of hell, and instead replace it with an "outer darkness" which may only be temporary, and 2 lower heavens where most everyone goes to regardless of what they believed, and this, despite what the scripture teaches:

Joh_3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

'Very little" from the Christian viewpoint would be, for example, the difference between the infant baptism of the Presbyterians and the baptism of the Baptists, which neither believe saves or damns anyone, as it is a question of mere practice and has strong arguments on both sides.

"Very little" from the New-Agey or cultist viewpoint is usually like the difference between planet Earth and the Mormon planet Kolob where "god," who is a man of flesh and blood who was once a good Mormon on another planet, lives and reigns.

It's easy to say it's very little when you're living in a strange and irrational world, but not for those of us who are normal.
