That's not what he said, Mr. Twister.

Pretty simple really sir, we are a faith with beliefs, as are all faiths, it is those beliefs that distinguish us from all other faiths, I fully acknowledge that, but fail to understand what point you are trying to make. It is those beliefs that set each faith apart from the rest.



All faiths agree with some faiths on some points, but if they agree on every point they would simply be the same faith, do you not think sir?

I posted the scripture once, but here it is one more time sir: (John 13:27-30) . . .After Judas took the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. So Jesus said to him: “What you are doing, do it more quickly.” 28 However, none of those reclining at the table knew why he said this to him. 29 Some, in fact, were thinking that since Judas was holding the money box, Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we need for the festival,” or that he should give something to the poor. 30 So after he received the piece of bread, he went out immediately. And it was night.



Judas was not there when Jesus made the covenant with those who had stuck with him in his trials.
