Marco, will you give me your opinion on this, please: I am a Christian. I believe Jesus is my Savior. But I do not believe that only people who believe this way go to heavan and Jews and Moslems go to Hell. I believe God intends to reach all of us. I believe he reached the Jews, and the Christians, and that Islam is his way of reaching millions more. Muhammad is their messenger as Jesus is mine.

I'm sure you disagree with that, my question is do you believe this makes me un-Christian? A friend of mine who is very dogmatic does. He says I can't believe Christ is the only way to God and then say others can get to him without Jesus. I don't believe Jesus is the ONLY way to God - just mine.

It just is not logical to me that millions would have a faith that is as valid as mine and they believe just as fervently yet they are going to hell. If you or I were born in Iran, I bet we'd think Muhammad is our way to God.

I welcome anyone else interested in answering also.
