I believe that Scott focused on a post in which you suggested that unless one repented, one would perish. You explained that unless one returned to the God that you served, which is the Jewish God, they would perish, because the wrath of God is so great that only those who return to him will not perish.
Scott had felt that this was parallel and similar to the statement in the old post that you want to have sanctioned, which states that unless people return to God through Jesus, they will not reach the Kingdom of Heaven.
I too had wondered about this similarity, although I had pointed out that it is inevitable that all religions will have some such exclusionary belief that their God and their way of reaching god (ie their religion) is necessary for reaching Heaven, or eternal life, etc.
Scott asked if you also saw the similarity between your statement and the older statement that you wanted Bob to sanction.
I was hoping you could pursue your thinking on that question: is your statement similar to the statement that you want sanctioned?
