!!!!First – My, at least you are consistent. You said
- (1) If you actually could hear the Lord, His Voice - if you could recognize the validity of the Scripture in your heart - (2) you would see that all world faiths have the same source - that the same One God spoke to a lot of isolated geographical communites in many and various ways (3) - you neither understand the Scriptures in other cultures, nor understand your own -
Your second post to servent101 - if you do not recognise the Lord, by searching the closed canon and only the closed canon - (4) which by the way you are never instructed to close the canon - (5) nor are you able to see the effect of your orthodox mindset - (6) so how would you know if someone does hold to the truth?

(#) I’ll answer granting my view (exclusive) is correct, ...
... then I’ll answer granting your view (inclusive) is correct.
(1) Anyone actually could hear the Lord, He is nearby and willing to be found
My particular geographical perspective indicates that I can and do have access to the Lord. Are you implying that I don’t?
(2) God says there there is only one true faith once delivered and no other scritptural authority applies.
If you would not be so blind as to accept a truer view of God that does not happen to match your presuppositions, you would be better off.
(3) You judge what you do not know, God’s word and gospel unto salvation is an issue of exclusive truth, no man comes to the father except by the specific name of Jesus Christ, the only savior, the only way, the only truth, the only life, the only salvation and true God.
If you would practice what you preach, you would accept my view which does not happen to match yours. But instead you say one thing and do another.
(4) Neither are you instructed to open what is assumed completed as being; sufficient(completed) for every good work, to make not fulfilled what God says “was” the fulfillment of God’s word, and to not add nor subtract nor to nullify any of God’s word, which “has been” specifically delivered once for all.
Your different geographically and culturally derived viewpoint does not invalidate mine understand of absolute truth, so keep your judgmentalism to your self.
(5) Because I do not agree with you, I “can not see” things objectively, I must become enlightened with your culturally shaped version of godliness, and only then may I see how my views affect others. So says the all inclusive hypocrite.
I thought you were promoting the acceptance of those who believe differently than you? Talk about say one thing and do another.
(6) Because for starters, they do not contradict themselves on every point.
Because contradiction is universally false.
