Post a link or two!
GT is all about discussing what we believe, and comparing notes. The only drawback to this is that we don't always get an accurate picture, due to the back and forth, polarized nature of discussionl. So I thought it would be good to give everyone a chande to post a few links to what they really believe. Official statements are great, and informal, more popularized ones can also be very helpfull for those wanting the basics.
I have gained more of a blessing at times reading content in links that were posted by users here than in back and forth discussions. So post your material!
Please indicate what faith you are, provide the link, and then I will try to re-post all of them in this first post. And
please, do not post for any other faith. Deceit is against Christian principles. I hope all of this is acceptable to the moderators as well. And any moderator who wants to help maintain the list by editing this post, feel free!
NOTE: to make the list easier to read, and more uniform give the liinks in the following format:
Church name Link Link description
Link 2Link2 description
(Those groups which are fortunate enough to have sub-forums can have discussion if there is any dispute about which resources should be used)
