Notice how He strips the dueling "religions" from the core principle of a single spirituality: that which is true remains. Jesus is the truth - all other spiritual approaches ultimately end in frustration. But saying so is socially unacceptable these days. APL quoted Romans 2. In there Paul wrote saying, "for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified; for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves, who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them ..." Rom. 2:13-15 The TRUTH that Jesus Christ represents is the Divine character of love, which means that wherever you see that character presented, it is of God. Jesus said, "By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." John 13:15. Hence, the word of Paul.Religion tends towards the great Roman Catholic experiment that resulted in mountains of text, neatly written enforceable doctrines, forms and ceremonies and eventually draconian sentences against the innocent. The Jews ended up the same way. Jesus said, "But if you had known what this means -- I desire mercy and not sacrifice -- you would not have condemned the guiltless." Mat. 12:7 What do you think? Is the SDA denomination drifting in the direction of the Papacy or Jesus Christ?

We could also ask - What is the difference between being saved and being lost? I have to ask, being saved from what?
Oh, that men might open their minds to know God as he is revealed in his Son! {ST, January 20, 1890}
