[Ali Imran]

Archbishops, pastors, ministers and even popes are fallible and make mistakes at times. Pope Francis caused quite a stir when he declared: "The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the Blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone! 'Father, the atheists?' Even the atheists, Everyone!"

Now is it true that everyone will be redeemed from sin - even virulent atheists like Richard Dawkins and the most hardened atheists who have rejected belief in any god - regardless of what they believe? Perhaps we should listen closely to what the apostle Peter had to say about this issue. Catholics believe he was the first pope, but whether you believe Peter was the first pope or not, he was the undisputed leader of the other apostles and the church at Jerusalem. As a part of the inner circle of Jesus's closest associates, he was in a position to know Jesus's beliefs as well as anyone.

"Let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead - by this name this man stands here before you in good health ... And there is salvation in no else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:10,12).

Would the brethren and members of the "house of Israel" need to do anything? After all, they were already part of God's chosen nation. The males would have been circumcised, and they ritually offered sacrifices as the OT prescribed. Peter stated that their sacredly-held Jewish beliefs weren't enough to be saved.

"Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit" (Act 2:38).

At the heart of the message was that everyone - Jews, Muslims, Catholics, Baptists, atheists, anti-theists - must trust in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins. Jesus not only declared Himself to be the only way to eternal life but also taught that all other roads lead to eternal destruction. In God we trust, all others we verify.

I don't remember reading that. He said he is the way but he didn't include the word "only".

If God sends a messenger to you with guidance, surely that guidance is the only way to God, wouldn't you agree?

Of course, you will be giving a different narrative that sounds like the Palestinians are oppressed.

Israel did not oppress the Palestinians.  They let them live there in peace.  But the Palestinians only want it all or nothing.
If Israel had wanted to drive the Palestinians out, they would have done that even without HAMAS's provocation.

Did they do that?  The answer is NO.  Instead, they gave the Palestinians land here and there, and let them live in peace, and even helped them.

It's Israel which had been attacked again and again by its neighbour, some near, some a bit less near.  The survival of the Arabs is not at stake.  They are all over the Middle East, while the survival of the Jew is. 

I am sure you cannot deny that the mission is to wipe the Jews out.  Once done, it's the Christians who will have to go.  It's your command to go and wipe out the infidels....btw, the word infidel is in your Hadith, which you didn't know and told me it's not used in Islam.

When is your ban in edmw expiring?  Or is it permanent?

I wasn't told about my ban and I don't really care. 

I'm sure you understand how democracy works. If Israel is to be a Jewish state, they must get rid of the millions of Arabs from the holy land. At most, they can tolerate only about 13% Arabs there. So, how to get rid of millions with the world watching? The answer is to create wars now and then or "mowing the lawn" as they call it. Kill the women and children. And in between wars, make their lives miserable by all means possible. Humiliation, deprivation of basic human rights, constant armed harassment, confiscation of homes, unlawful imprisonment, restricting of civilian movements, and all sorts of torture to make their lives miserable.

How the hell did they get to do all that in the modern world today?

"Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it" (Matt 7:13-14).

Jesus made it very clear exactly what that "small" and "narrow" way is that leads a person to heaven.

Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?" Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me" (John 14:5-6).

Jesus declared Himself to be the only way to eternal life. It means: 1) the sacrificial death of Christ on the cross is the only way by which people can be saved. 2) salvation is limited to those who exercise personal faith in Jesus Christ as their Savior. 3) all other roads (religions) are spiritual dead ends.

The exclusivity of Jesus Christ for salvation represents the core of the Christian message. Numerous passages in the Old Testament connect eternal salvation with personal belief. Here are some: Rom 10:9, John 3:16, John 11:25-26, Acts 16:31.

God did send His 'Messenger' in the form of His Holy Spirit. God's Holy Spirit filled me with a longing for the truth. It's only by God's grace that I sought Him, humbled myself, turned from sin, and placed my faith in Jesus many moons ago. When people receive salvation, their spirits are made alive, their souls are reconciled to God, and their bodies are made temples for the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit moves, He influences people and makes an impact. He stirs people up and renders apathy impossible.

The Holy Spirit acts somewhat like a traffic policeman inside believers. When they do the right thing, they get a 'green light' from Him, and when they do wrong things, they get a 'red light.' If they're about to get themselves in trouble, but haven't fully made a decision to proceed, they get a 'caution signal.'

Man cannot discern spiritual truth because he must do so with the Spirit. The truth is so awesome that it's difficult for our finite minds to grasp and believe. God will move and send His Holy Spirit to touch us in a special way, if we open ourselves up to Him.

You don't agree with wiki?

Most people accept Wikipedia as the gospel and a reliable source of information on almost everything under the sun. It describes the information being gleaned in encyclopedic detail. For the uninitiated, it provides an unblinking view of the causes of the Israel-Palestine conflict. It states something to the effect that a vast multitude denounced Hamas and explicitly condemned its conduct on 7 Oct as terrorism. There was broad support for military operations in Gaza, with strong supporters for Israel expressing solidarity for the country and asserting Israel has a right to defend itself from armed attacks.

Meanwhile, countries of the Muslim world and a chorus of pro-Palestinian protesters expressed support for the Palestinians, blaming the Israel occupation of the Palestinian territories as the root cause for the escalation of violence. This is wiki's account of the whys and wherefores of the violent conflict. (see International reactions of the Israel-Hamas war.) People with strong opinions of the war are either for or against Israel's unmerciful retaliatory strikes against Hamas.

You use the conjunction "if" to speculate about the many conspiratorial plots that may or may not be true, and that's a big IF. Such imaginings are typical of a person with an axe to grind
