if you don't understand the criteria for salvation, then how do you know that all of us on this site aren't already saved?

Its a year later, and once again, I was following you just fine all the way up until the word "Jesus", at which point you vear off into never never land on a puffy white cloud that apparently no one has access to accept you.

I think its wonderful that you have found peace (perhaps even enlightenment) in your life and I don't doubt that you have. In fact, your sincerity firmly convinces me that such is the case. Consequently, I have an obligation to myself to inquire about how you attained this inner peace as I have inquired in great detail in the past but to no avail.

It seems to me that the reason you have not been able to provide any clear direction whatsoever is simply because you do not understand how YOU YOURSELF attained this "salvation through Jesus". I think you have failed to realize this and that is why you get so frustrated trying to explain this phenomenon to others. You need to admit and accept that, although you may be "saved", you don't really own the knowledge about how one gets saved and are utterly inept, as are most christians, at explaining the criteria for salvation. Given that, you need to ask yourself, if you don't understand the criteria for salvation, then how do you know that all of us on this site aren't already saved?

Anyway, here's to your health. And give Jesus (or whoever) my regards. Maybe, since you are so well aquainted with this Jesus fella and you are unable to direct me to him, you could ask him to come TO ME so I can know that in the hell you are talking about and maybe get at least a small taste of the peace and bliss you are experiencing. Thanks in advance.
