I have seen no good solid explaination as to why?

I haven't seen any of his materials in the book store. Besides, Christ new
Satan and even conversed with him, and that is what Christinaity is about.

The Bible is an authority on who is a Christian. The first time Christians
were called Christians was in Antioch (Acts 11:26), Paul never mentions
allegory. I would suggest reading all of the four Gospels and Acts so that
you may understand true Christianity, shoot read the whole New Testament,
though you might want to gain an understanding of the Old Testament so that
you can understand some of the references and law.

Okay, if you want to pursue go ahead.

Let them ask! A lot of people call themselves Christians, but I doubt they
are truly Christ like! And that is the meaning of Christian, the pursuance
of becoming Christ like! And in all honesty, a lot of people who call
themselves Christians are not going to make it to heaven, this can be found
all over the new testament, especially in Matthew 5:20, Matthew 7:21-23,
Revelation 16:15, Psalm 73.

Therefore

Really? Have you? I wouldn't doubt that a lot of people have experience the
Hindu gods. Probably more than the real God. But the Bible has an answer to
that, and is the only foundation that is flawless. A lot of people
experience Baal, or what they knew though was a god named Baal, made to be
what man wanted, but God proved Baal's inexistance when Elijah called down
fire from heaven and made fools of the Baal preists. This is the difference
in reality and experience I am talking about!
