Ian the christian scriptures are not the only ones
and not the only ones that are true
christians do not have a monopoly on god
and in my opinion
that is the great blasphemy of organized christianity
christianity is a true and just path to god
but there are others
including the virtuous atheism
there is no doubt in my mind that a virtuous atheist
goes to heaven

peace

  Lyle:

  Blessings and Peace.

  Simply for the record, I think I know where you came up with the "150,000" number.  If so, you are mixing things up.

  Revelation states that, just after the "church" is Raptured (leaving no "Christians" on earth), 144,000 people (not 150,000) - 12,000 from each of the 12 original tribes of Israel - will become "super-evangelists," and will bring as many or more people "to Christ" during the "end times" (i.e., the last seven years) than believed in Christ prior to the Rapture - perhaps 1,000,000,000 or more.

  Feel free to ignore or disdain Scripture.  But when you do cite it, please try to do so correctly.

  Peace.
