He also gives a strong universalist approach to the whole thing "no matter what they looked like, or where they came from, or who they prayed to."<BR/><BR/>That isn't a real strong statement for Jesus being the only way. Yet with his stance on other social issues it is not surprising or anything. I suppose if you look a little more closely as well you notice that he says it was not Scripture that influenced him it was all experience based learning.Travis Marshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08417159542920638409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045296136588995603.post-15114788289391885772009-02-05T22:55:00.000-08:002009-02-05T22:55:00.000-08:00Gotcha, I didn't get the humor :) but that is okay...Gotcha, I didn't get the humor :) but that is okay.
