Carlita:

I guess I can best describe it this way.

I don’t believe Jesus is exclusively for Christians.

Thanks Carlita!

I see you sell books.

Have you read The Misunderstood God by Darin Hufford?

This is where I have to disagree with you, Joshua. Could it be in fact that Jesus was correct when he said, wide is the road to destruction, narrow the road to eternal life?
Or how about beleiving in the purity of his words when he said, I Am the way, the Only way to the Father?
Jesus Is Enough
He gave the ‘Great Commission’ or orders to spread his words to others hence pastors, groups, cells, churches, ‘institutions’… to help the unbelieving, the lost (e.i. Muslims, Buddists, Wicca Witches) to understand the his good news. JESUS IS ENOUGH

I like what you said in the first paragraph. I have thought these thoughts before and wondered about it. Thanks for putting it out.

Why would I confine Christ into my ideas?

Could it be possible that all are on the road to enlightenment?

Otherwise why would we exist?

People die from mistakes every day, but why does that have to be the end of the road?

I guess I would ask how you would deal with someone who had what you considered to be a false faith. A Muslim maybe? Or anyone who has faith, but rejects your idea of who God or Christ is. It just seems like you have faith in a more things than just love and so how do you know those are not illusion?

Great question!

I love questions and if I had it my way I’d force everyone to communicate via questions rather then with answers.

I guess I can say that I don’t believe in blind faith.

The next questions

What are tangible things we can place our faith in?

Do these things make up what people refer to as God?

Is God love?

Hey Josh,
I am coming from a skeptical point of view so don’t take offense at this question (I know you don’t get offended easily).

If a person can have faith in something that ends up being an illusion, how should one go about verifying if there object of faith is real or not? Many say that we “know” God or Christ by faith, but if faith can be misplaced, how do we know if it is in something that is not in fact an illusion?
