She is damning herself and is not even aware of it.

I had to go look that up. I like the comment beneath the video:

"I would like to hear the argument for the watermelon."

Oh my word...

Their intent is good...but...honestly, through their approach (creating fear) I feel as though they give Christianity a bad name.

They're not into the big tent mentality...believing that if they scare most people away, all the better. To them, Christianity is an exclusive club and heaven is for them and them alone. I imagine a lot of them will be quite disappointed when they reach the pearly gates and find Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims and others there.

Mr. Comfort's stance on other major religions from the intro:

Solving Life’s Most Important Question

The Choice. Imagine I offered you a choice of four gifts:

• The original Mona Lisa

• The keys to a brand new Lamborghini

• A million dollars in cash

• A parachute

You can pick only one. Which would you choose? Before you decide, here’s some information that will help you to make the wisest choice: You have to jump 10,000 feet out of an airplane.

...

Let’s See

Let’s now look at those four major religions to see if they can help you with your predicament.

Hinduism: The religion of Hinduism says that if you’ve been bad, you may come back as a rat or some other animal. If you’ve been good, you might come back as a prince. But that’s like someone saying, “When you jump out of the plane, you’ll get sucked back in as another passenger. If you’ve been bad, you go down to the Economy Class; if you’ve been good, you go up to First Class.” It’s an interesting concept, but it doesn’t deal with your real problem of having sinned against God and the reality of Hell.

Buddhism: Amazingly, the religion of Buddhism denies that God even exists. It teaches that life and death are sort of an illusion. That’s like standing at the door of the plane and saying, “I’m not really here, and there’s no such thing as the law of gravity, and no ground that I’m going to hit.” That may temporarily help you deal with your fears, but it doesn’t square with reality. And it doesn’t deal with your real problem of having sinned against God and the reality of Hell.

Islam: Interestingly, Islam acknowledges the reality of sin and Hell, and the justice of God, but the hope it offers is that sinners can escape God’s justice if they do religious works. God will see these, and because of them, hopefully He will show mercy—but they won’t know for sure. Each person’s works will be weighed on the Day of Judgment and it will then be decided who is saved and who is not—based on whether they followed Islam, were sincere in repentance, and performed enough righteous deeds to outweigh their bad ones. So Islam believes you can earn God’s mercy by your own efforts. That’s like jumping out of the plane and believing that flapping your arms is going to counter the law of gravity and save you from a 10,000-foot drop. And there’s something else to consider. The Law of God shows us that the best of us is nothing but a wicked criminal, standing guilty and condemned before the throne of a perfect and holy Judge. When that is understood, then our “righteous deeds” are actually seen as an attempt to bribe the Judge of the Universe. The Bible says that because of our guilt, anything we offer God for our justification (our acquittal from His courtroom) is an abomination to Him, and only adds to our crimes. Islam, like the other religions, doesn’t solve your problem of having sinned against God and the reality of Hell.

Christianity: So why is Christianity different? Aren’t all religions the same? Let’s see. In Christianity, God Himself provided a “parachute” for us, and His Word says regarding the Savior, “Put on the Lord Jesus Christ.” Just as a parachute solved your dilemma with the law of gravity and its consequences, so the Savior perfectly solves your dilemma with the Law of God and its consequences! It is the missing puzzle-piece that you need. How did God solve our dilemma? He satisfied His wrath by becoming a human being and taking our punishment upon Himself. The Scriptures tell us that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself. Christianity provides the only parachute to save us from the consequences of the Law we have transgressed.

If you’ve been bad, you go down to the Economy Class; if you’ve been good, you go up to First Class.” It’s an interesting concept, but it doesn’t deal with your real problem of having sinned against God and the reality of Hell. Catholics (Kirk is obviously not Catholic) believe in a transitional state which we call Purgatory. Purgatory may not be too much different than the concept of reincarnation in which the Hindus believe.

Buddhism: Amazingly, the religion of Buddhism denies that God even exists. It teaches that life and death are sort of an illusion. That’s like standing at the door of the plane and saying, “I’m not really here, and there’s no such thing as the law of gravity, and no ground that I’m going to hit.” That may temporarily help you deal with your fears, but it doesn’t square with reality. And it doesn’t deal with your real problem of having sinned against God and the reality of Hell. There are several sects of Buddhism, and the only one I can think of that denies the existence of God is the Theravada (lesser vehicle) sect. Other sects acknowledge a 'God'.

Islam: Interestingly, Islam acknowledges the reality of sin and Hell, and the justice of God, but the hope it offers is that sinners can escape God’s justice if they do religious works. God will see these, and because of them, hopefully He will show mercy—but they won’t know for sure.

When that is understood, then our “righteous deeds” are actually seen as an attempt to bribe the Judge of the Universe. The Bible says that because of our guilt, anything we offer God for our justification (our acquittal from His courtroom) is an abomination to Him, and only adds to our crimes. Islam, like the other religions, doesn’t solve your problem of having sinned against God and the reality of Hell. Of course it is interesting that Islam acknowledges the reality of sin and hell. After all, Islam is a nation created and 'set apart' by the same God of Judeo/Christianity. This is fully detailed in the book of Genesis from the Torah, through Ishmael, the first son of Abraham....and also through Jacob and Esau, the sons of Isaac and grandsons of Abraham. For Kirk to deny this, the legitimacy of Islam as people sanctified by God would be tatamount to him saying the Bible is wrong. Anyways, Kirk and bananaman are totally whacked out on the entire faith vs. works argument, which is quite honestly, incredibly lame theology at best...

Christianity: So why is Christianity different? Aren’t all religions the same? Let’s see. In Christianity, God Himself provided a “parachute” for us, and His Word says regarding the Savior, “Put on the Lord Jesus Christ.” Just as a parachute solved your dilemma with the law of gravity and its consequences, so the Savior perfectly solves your dilemma with the Law of God and its consequences! It is the missing puzzle-piece that you need. How did God solve our dilemma? He satisfied His wrath by becoming a human being and taking our punishment upon Himself. The Scriptures tell us that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself. Christianity provides the only parachute to save us from the consequences of the Law we have transgressed. I do believe what they've said here, that Christ was reconciling the world to himself. This gets clouded though by their incorrect ideas regarding the Trinity, which is God, and not just 'Jesus', who is the second person of the Trinity. God is bigger than just Jesus, though Jesus was indeed God...this one is way too heavy to try to touch in a VJBoard <hahahaha>

Anyways...my goofy thoughts,

Peace,
