Sam Madden says that he doesn't see where "Jesus would have harsh words for a Mormon, Buddhist, Muslim, etc., as long as they were actually living their life by God's commandments."
My goodness, Sam, what Bible are you reading?
How about this: "Depart from me ye that work iniquity, for I never knew you"?
How about this: "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves"?
How about this: "For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ"?
Or this: "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction"?
How about this: "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved"?
How about this: "For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast"?
So, Sam, the upshot is that if a religion claims any way to heaven other than faith in Jesus Christ, it is a false religion, and it behooves us to call it what it is, just as Jesus and his apostles did.
