Fatboy: Does Scripture teach us that we know truth by some subjective feeling? If that is what you believe, that we must also believe that the Hare Krishnas, Moonies, Bahais, etc., all have truth, for they also testify to that burning bosom Mormons love to proclaim. Remember, the Bereans were...

Oh, my goodness - Spong has even made it into the CofC! By the way, Spong was my diocesan bishop, I've spoken with him many times. Quite a charming man, but way out there theologically! Actually, the CofC is very liberal, very much like ECUSA (Episcopalians) and I wouldn't be shocked if they...

Waiting for the Verdict, I was addressing the poster who said Unitarians are Christians, not commenting on your particular "Universalist" belief. However, now that you've brought it up, are you aware that the Unitarians and Universalitsts merged a while back and now are called the...

Unitarians are a cult. See, "The Kingdom of the Cults," by Walter Martin. Unitarians deny the Deity of Christ, the Trinity, and Salvation by grace through faith in Christ Jesus. I don't need to get out more, trust me, I get out too much. What you need to do is to attempt to understand the...

I was born and raised in the Episcopal Church. I was a lay minister, acoloyte, and licensed lay reader. In 1972 I became a Christian through the charismatic ministry in the Episcopal Church. When I was 49, however, I realized that the Episcopal Church was going deeper and deeper into apostasy...

Jenda, I thank the Lord that you will take a stand. I, too, left my birth church since it was, in my opinion, apostate. I didn't make many friends in my own family becoming an evangelical believer - but, these many years I have drawn closer to the Lord because of that decision. May the Lord...

Verdict: No, that is not all you need to do. You actually needed to do nothing to be regenerated, since this is the initial act of the salvation process and is wrought by the Holy Spirit Who draws you to faith in Christ. That Holy Spirit bearing witness to you that you are a Child of God...

The Community of Christ (the Reorganized Church) still teaches the Book of Mormon as being Scripture. When you have children, will you teach them that, as well, just to keep peace? Remember Jesus' Words about loving Him more than father, mother, brother and sister.

Friend, are you sure you have the right vss. (Col. 1 18-19). These vss. are dealing with the fulness of Christ - pertaining to His Deity. Friend, if all are saved, what need was there for Christ to die? I really know of no Christian Universalists. The Unitarian-Universalists are a cultic...

I would like to know which translations of the Bible prior to the KJV prove there is no hell.

Well, frankly, I've come to believe that the Dome of the Rock is the Abomination of Desolation spoken of by Daniel the Prophet and mentioned by Jesus in Matt. 24.

To the poster who asks, "Who hijacked my religion", I think you need to associate with other evangelicals - the ones you are associating with at present may be a little over the line. A universalist is one that believes all men are saved. This denies the words of Christ, Who said there are...

But, Mormon friend, you are confusing regeneration, salvation and sanctification. We are saved solely because God has elected us to be part of His family. Take a good long look at John 6:44, and also John 10. Nobody comes to Jesus unless that person is drawn to Him by the Father. All who...

All three of the main witnesses left the Mormon Church (I think two returned), but you'd think that the stupendous site of these gold plates would have made them think twice about leaving! Of course, they saw the plates with their "spiritual eyes," and who knows what spirit effected their eyes!

So, friend, are you disputing with Nelson's view on the bogus Book of Abraham. Other Egyptologists have supported his findings. Do you know of any outside of Utah who believe that the Book of Abraham was written on the papyrus Joe Smith bought, "by his own hand?" - Abraham's hand, that is...
