Do these scriptures elevate your own denomination while condemning all others?

[
He or she who denies JESUS is the CHRIST condmens their own self
He or she who follows another jesus , another gospel another spirit decieves their own self .
The one bringing truth and correction is not the one who is condemining
its the one who rejects it that condemns themselves .
And if a man or any dares to claim to BELEIVE JESUS is the CHRIST and yet
implies in any way its not necessary for other religoins to do so
and implies that other religoins do serve THE SAME GOD WE DO
in their own way , in a language etc , THAT MAN IS AN ANTI CHRIST doing the work
of that which is of anti christ to decieve CHRISTENDOM and all INTO A LIE .
WHO is a liar . HE who denies that JESUS IS THE CHRIST , he is anti christ
WHO calls GOD a liar , HE who beleives NOT the testimony that GOD gave of the SON .
MIght wanna let your beloved interfaith , pope and etc KNOW THAT .
We got us a real broad way of thinking going on all right
under the guise its love . ONLY IT AINT LOVE , IT AINT OF GOD . Time the church fled
the doctrines of men and rather got right into the bible to learn for themselves the TRUTH .

Yes, false accusations abound against the people of God. Narrow minded, haters, judgmental etc. Numbered with the transgressors.
That saw cuts both ways.
In an earlier post you informed us that you believe that Jesus died only to save "Christians" and
that the vast majority of humankind were predestined by God for destruction.

That seems narrow-minded, hateful and judgmental to me.

he better question is , WHY are so many so fast to believe things CONTRARY
to what is written in the bible and left to us by the apostels .
Are you claiming that ONLY your denomination is believing what is written in the Bible?
Thus condemning ALL other denominations?

Interesting to see the rally to the cause of proving my point made in the OP.
Evangelicals are happy to throw the rest of Christianity under the bus in the interest of promoting their tradition over all others.

I'm not speaking AGAINST salvation. I am questioning the narrow view of it.
Do you condemn everyone that was raised in a different religious tradition than your own?

[
i have no power to condemn but i do have power to speak Life as the Lord gives to me each day that i walk in His LIGHT

Religion cannot save, only faith in the Living Word saves us.

the Word that was God became flesh and dwelt among us.
The Word says: "I have come that you may have Life and have it more abundantly"

Is the Life which JESUS gives Good or evil???

St. SteVen said:

These Scriptures Glorify the LORD who created us and in so doing SAVED my soul from death and for many other 'sons of God'.
That doesn't answer my question. What's the point of posting these scriptures on this topic?
It seems that you are indeed elevating your own denomination/doctrines while condemning all others.

And you call this GOOD as evil???
Where did I say that?

Aren’t we called to respect all denominations?

I’m sure Jesus taught that?.

I haven’t always done that, have you?

I’ve been called by God to respect all denominations, I am now I believe, obedient to his word in that area...

In my very FIRST post to you i stated this: "REGARDLESS of the denomination there is only One Way, Truth and Life"

God alone knows our hearts = 2 Timothy 2:19

Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,”
and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”

Do you understand that "regardless" does not reject the denomination but that it determines that there is no denomination that holds the Truth apart from: "IAM the WAY the TRUTH the LIFE"

No, I haven't always done that. I was clear about that in the OP.
I was raised with the narrow-minded perspective.

The Body of Christ (the church universal) is bigger than one denomination.
We are all One Body.

Ephesians 4:3-6 NIV
Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called;
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

Yes. - LOL
It's so easy to become critical of others.
Much better when we can hear them out and try to understand where they are coming from.

Sure, I understand that.
You have been nothing short of disagreeable with your posts on this topic.
Why don't you agree with me?

Never add to my words just as i do not add to yours.

Do you understand this:
Regardless of the denomination there is only this Way to Eternal Life:

JESUS Says: "IAM the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE, no one comes to the FATHER but thru ME"

Agree or disagree???

If God, thru His Word disagrees with your "broad way of thinking" is that narrow minded of Him and what do you do if it is???
