    So, Word, how do you distinguish "true" Christians from "false" Christians? What is the standard you use? I am assuming you believe that every Muslin, Jew, Buddhist, and Hindu will automatically be excluded from any sort of "salvation".

    They are excluding themselves from salvation (the spiritual paradise of Christ)

    I look at the spiritual state of the Christians

    Do they have Christ's peace, do they have Christ's love, do they have Christ's spiritual life

    Have they joined Jesus Christ ? If not, they are false Christians

    So "peace, love, and spiritual life" can only exist within the framework of "true Christianity"? Aren't you putting yourself in the position of judge?

    I am not judging them. They are judging themselves, by not joining Christ's spiritual life

    Christ's peace, love, and spiritual life, exists only in Christ's spiritual paradise

    So there is a distinction between "Christ's" peace and love and some other kind of peace and love?

    Yes, Christ's love and peace is the greatest love and peace of all No one has greater love than this

    This is what beliefs do, they put you in a box and thereby create separation. No other possibilities exist because your belief requires that. Is it any wonder that there is so much suspicion, hatred, and violence in the name of "God" sanctioned by separate belief systems?

    nvrgnbk,

    Can spirituality be experienced apart from the "spiritual paradise of Christ"?

    Yes, primitive spirituality that leads nowhere.

    I feel a deep spiritual connection to the earth and the Universe that it's a part of and nature in all its wonder and my fellow humans, even dogmatic Christians such as yourself.

    I feel spirituality all around me.

    It's ever-present.

    And it's not dependent on anything or anyone supernatural.

    What need do I have for "the spiritual paradise of Christ"?
