With me or against me' is a rhetorical move, not a rational argument.
It doesn't tell me how you know, it tells me what happens if I don't accept your claim.
That's not epistemology.
It's a threat.

@Danish_SMF How about, "Anyone who is not with Me is against Me, and anyone who does not gather with Me scatters."?

@Danish_SMF Evidence of what? Evidence of God providing? Don't be lazy. If you want evidence, you find your own. I have invested myself and found the evidence I needed to believe. You invest yourself if you want your own evidence. Simple.

@ScottABogert It is a message.
If it is a claim, you show us evidence.
I don't need to test your claims.
English

@Danish_SMF There are lots of ways to test what Jesus taught, and to test Him. It is up to you to come up with your own tests that would satisfy you.

@browt1971 Being given an ultimatum isn't quite the same as being forced. Coerced is more like it.

@Danish_SMF There is a similar verse that pertains to His disciples. He said, "...for whoever is not against us is for us."

@Danish_SMF Maybe some Muslims say that God/Allah hates Christians. That does not mean that God/Allah hates Christians.
English

@ScottABogert So if I accept Islam and Allah as the true path for faith, which is more rational than Christianity, would Jesus and his dad be happy with me in the same way they are happy with a devout Christian?
I know Allah will burn every Christian in his hell.
Allah hates Christians.

Saying 'I am the Truth' is a claim, not a method.
How do you know Jesus is the Truth and not Muhammad or Krishna?
Faith?
Muslims have faith in Allah.
Hindus have faith in Krishna.
Your faith is not distinguishable from theirs.

@Danish_SMF Note, He did not say, my faith...He said "Me". "I am the Truth", not my faith is the truth.

@Danish_SMF Islam is not the "true path" to God. Jesus is the only way to the Father.
I had an instructor whose name was Robert. Whenever someone official was calling, they would ask for Robert. Sales people would ask for Bob. Friends and family called him Dave.

@Danish_SMF What claim is similar? I'll explain how I see it as different.
English

@ScottABogert Why do you say that?
How are their claims of truth different from yours?

@Danish_SMF Note, He did not say, my faith...He said "Me". "I am the Truth", not my faith is the truth.

@ScottABogert Jesus is on the top of the list of this childish claim.

@maingirlK @KR3Wmatic This life is short. Eternity lasts forever.

@KR3Wmatic You worried about atheists while we starving and dying of cancer?
