h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I am going off to my villa in sunny Italy today with some old school chums. I do have internet there, but I do not intend to spend a lot of time in front of my PC whilst on holidays.

Wel enjoy yourself there then. And be sure to drop in ever now and then to make us all jealous (and Italy eh? Strange country for you to visit Sam...)

Whilst you are gone, something for you to think about: You think you can declare who is "saved" or not. You also claim that the Bible is inerrant.

Why, then, can the Bible not decide how one is saved?

Mk.16:16
"He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned."

Mt.12:37
"For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."

Mt.16:27
"For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works."

Mt.19:17
"If you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."

Lk.10:26-28
"He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live."

etc, etc.

Are you going to ask God to smite those Satanic Catholics you run into in Italy?

No.

Why not? I thought you were supposed to take the fight to the enemy.
