So anyone who doesn't share your religious beliefs is being dishonest?
Amazing.

| re .1 The Christian Perspective of Jesus Christ and the Apostles is that
God is revealed in the Trinity. Those who believe this perspective must
proclaim (Jesus commanded it) that any honest search for God will end up
at the only True God.
re .2 Agio Pnevmati is the third Person of the Trinity.

So what you are saying is that Moslems, Hindus, and Jews have not
engaged in any honest search for God.

I see nothing wrong with this statement as it stands. However
the search may very well not end up in what appears to be the
same place.
God's mighty big. There's a lot of True God to get to. Which
door you use to enter doesn't mean diddly. It's a mighty big
house and it's made of love, or shall I say, it *is* love.
Where is love? It's wherever you find it.

No, I'm saying that if they continue their search it can only eventually
lead to Jesus Christ.

| Ah, but many of them have completed their search because they have
honestly searched for God and believe that they have found what they
looked for. So their honest search for God did end up somewhere, but
it did not end up where yours did; this differs from your assertion
that all honest searches for God always end up with Christianity.

| The search is incomplete; not necessarily dishonest.
If it continues, it will lead to the Truth, which is Jesus.
The Truth may not be reached before death. Whether it is reached after
death is not revealed to us. Some say no: death is the end; some say
maybe: God may have means of salvation after death unknown to us.

| Yes, the search for Truth always continues, or at least it ought to.
Perhaps this is even true for those who already think they've found the
Truth. :-)
