The Baptists and Jews, Heaven and Hell
The idea of the former president of the Southern Baptist Convention that Jews who do not accept Christ are not saved is entirely wrong. It is at variance with biblical teachings of the love of God.
Of course, the whole world may be lost in a nuclear war if humanity does not change its ways. Bigotry and war are anachronistic and must be ended if anyone is to survive.
I feel it is high time for religions to stop fighting each other and join together in a common effort to make the world better. This would require a new spirit of love and good will among all people. To gain this spirit, all must seek the help of God--Gentiles and Jews alike.
