Bruce gets it.

Because "A" is true, doesn't necessarily mean that the inverse of "A" is false.

Damn...how are specific references to New Testament passages - Second Corinthians 4:6 and John 8:12 - not references to Christianity?

It's not a question of where they come from, but what the passages say, and more importantly to Dana, what they imply.

They imply light is provided through Jesus Christ.

Not true. They say Christians will be provided light through Jesus Christ, straight out, no implication at all.

They do not imply others will be in the dark, nor others won't get their light from a different source.

Wasn't talking to you & didn't say they weren't. You are again incorrectly assuming what I was referring to. . .
