Love One Another and the Cross

but i never said anything about denying the Son, Mike. If you'll quote me, i can clear that up. But surely my meaning was that many will cry "Lord, Lord" or iow have Jesus on their lips all the time, and yet be condemned.

Who might these hypocrites be?

In today's world, what would their message be?

How is it that they, crying Lord, are condemned, while we are told--by Christ Himself--to follow the Good Samaritan, an outcast?

Here's my point: You said muslims cannot be said to be lost, and I stated their "holy" book repeatedly says God has no son and combats the concept many many times in the plainest of language. And then I said John wrote that denial of the son makes one antichrist. So, your statement saying we cannot say they're lost is groundless. It's like saying we cannot say antichrists are lost.

I agree many will do that. Never disagreed. But I already said that many many times, too.

Those claiming to be christians. I never disagreed with that. But I already said that many many times, too.

I already explained all that.... if you read what I said. But I already also said that many many times, too.
