then jesus was bigoted towards anyone who didn't follow him, & thought them lesserhumans because of it?
hmmmmm...... then, you ARE a christian by those standards.
If by "bigoted" you mean that Jesus did not come to save everyone, you are exactly right. That is true. In fact the Bible separates humans into "sheep" and "goats". Not based on race, intellect, or anything other than their willingness to follow God and Christ. That is correct.
The God of the Universe gets to choose.
lol.... oh, i know that. i love though how you ASSume & proclaim who & who is not a christian, though
my personal favorite passage is matthew 6: 5-13.
try it sometime.
I didn't proclaim who is and is not a Christian. You're really offended that God and His Son get to proclaim it. In truth, you want to be the one to do it--you want to be the one who says who gets saved and who does not, based on whatever criteria you choose.
That's really the crux of this thread. It's Christians saying, "God chooses" and it's non-Christians saying "We choose". You're upset that Christians are only pointing to God and PROJECTING on us that WE want to choose.
No, we don't. And we know we don't. It's really you who want to choose. Just own it already.
