So ammo, your point is essentially that the crimes against humanity in the FY were committed by people who were only Christian in their own eyes.
Do you not recognise the exact same thing with this latest crime against humanity? They call themselves Muslims, but most Muslims disagree with them on that.
That is not quite my point. First being that I am a believer in Christ, I dont agree with the Muslims view, therefore I cant equate the two religious views. They have similar doctrines. They believe in the same Old Testement as we do, but do not accept Jesus Christ as the Son of God. However if someone like yourself wanted too, you could categorize "religious people" into the same file.
My point is that there are many folks that call themselves Christians and sincerely believe it... but are not. Only through Jesus Christ is anyone saved. Not by good works, not by going to church, not by just proclaiming Christianity. In Romans 5:8 Paul says .
"But God commendeth his love torward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Then in Romans 10:9
"That
if thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believein thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." And a reitteration just a few versus later in verse 13..
for whosoever shall call upon the name of the lord shall be saved."<S> Hope I answered your question
