Sir,
The problem is: In the world there must be an incredible amount of descriptions of an all powerful being.
I was raised as a Baptist. This is my guide to salvation.
Others have different guides that actually are from the same source. Just a different perception of reality.
And of course with all the different languages there will be different descriptions of the same source of knowledge.
Mine is Christ and I believe yours is Christ as well.
I am just trying to get everbody's view into the picture. I mean really, the picture is the same in the end no matter how one describes their beliefs. Depending on what side of the coin they are viewing reality.
Take care of the temple and I will take care of you. It's universal. And of course not everyone is going to see it this way.
That is why I myself would rather keep the conversation in a universal mode. I really do try and keep my belief in Christ out of such conversations not out of lack of belief but mainly out of respect for what I believe and who I believe in.
Christ has never failed me yet and I don't believe he will allow me to stray too far from the path b4 I am reminded of who I am and where I came from. My trust in him is that strong with out a question.
