My wife and I watched this movie, Kings of the Sun, the other night.  It's from 1963, and one of the stars is Yul Brynner, who I found out, was Russian - born in Vladivostok.  Anyway, the movie is about a group of Mayans whose city is over-run by enemies.  They make their way to the coast and cross the Gulf of Mexico to the north shore, and start a colony in exile.  That's not so far-fetched, as a recent discovery is of a Mayan settlement in Georgia.  The king, Balam, had doubts about human sacrifice, and by the end of the movie, has gotten his people to abandon the practice, seeing as how the local tribe did not sacrifice, and yet enjoyed all the blessings of the Great Spirit.  I saw this conflict between the king and the priests as a sort of UR vs ET issue, and tying in with some things I had read here, I thought that ET is just passive-aggressive human sacrifice.  ET-advocates would never think of ripping out living hearts, but they are willing to relegate the mass of humanity to the living death of Hell.  What do you think of that? 
Socrates taught Plato.  Plato taught Aristotle.  Aristotle tutored the son of Philip of Macedon.  This boy grew up to become Alexander the Great, largely by slaughtering a lot of people.  That's philosophy.

Jesus spoke the Truth.  He blessed the poor.  He healed the sick.  He even raised the dead.  He died on a cross for us, lived again, and came back long enough to tell us to love one another.  That's religion.

YHVH = Behold the Nail, Behold the Hand = Jesus

I think ET'ers don't think.
They don't really think about the full implications of what they believe.
They don't really think God is a just God.
They don't really think God is love.
They don't really think about the nonsense in the concept of hell.
They don't really think about the big picture of God's plan for his creation.
They don't really think God will care about anyone who does not believe.
They don't really think God will care about anyone who never heard the gospel.
They don't really think God will be victorious over sin and death.
They don't really think the translators of the scriptures made any errors in any versions of the Bible.
They don't really think they can understand the overall plan for God's creation until they get to heaven.
They don't really think there is anything wrong with their doctrine at all.
They don't really think God's teaching is enough, so they need the teachings of man in addition.
They don't really think anyone who differs in doctrine from them is going the heaven.
They don't really think they themselves deserve hell.
They really do think other people deserve hell.
They only think they think.
They don't really think.

The essence is the same, altho many ET'rs are genuine in their remorse for the lost, and tho their understanding is unfruitful, their hearts may not be as calloused as we portray them with our broad strokes. These especially are the prisoners I enjoy setting free  :banana:

Amen to that!

There are those "Christians" who have evil hearts and desire to see the unbelievers punished.
They will say, with a gleam in their eye, "You're gonna burn up!!!"
They want that to happen.
I call them "Jonahs."

But the majority of Christians are genuinely concerned about the lost.
