Vance said:We all believe that the Bible is the Holy Word of God which contains God's message to us, yesterday and today. The message it contains is inerrant and holy and not to be denied.
We all believe that God created everything we see, the entire universe and everything in it, and that Scripture confirms this fact. He is in complete control of all.
We all believe that God, being omnipotent and omniscient, could have created the world using any method and over any time period He wanted. He could have created it in six days, six minutes or all in one nano-second. He is not constricted in any way.
We all believe that God created Man to have a special relationship with Him, as distinct from all the rest of His Creation. But that, after having lost that communion, we have need to regain that communion through redemption, specifically by accepting the redemptive gift of His Son.
I *think* all would agree on these points, and many others I am sure.
ask most UM pastors and they'll gladly admit to errors and to possibilities of errors, I'll bet ya'Vance said:Ask your pastor/priest/minister what he thinks may be the significant flaw in the denomination to which he/she belongs. You will get a blank look, maybe even an indignant reply. Ask if he believes, then, that this particular denomination happens to be the ONE which has gotten it correct on all significant particulars, to the exclusion of all the other thousands of variations of Chrsitianity.
Hi Vance,Vance said:True, even given the thousands of Christian denominations, can you imagine ANY of them having it completely right? I believe that the simple odds are that every single denomination going to day has at least one major flaw in its doctrine. But most would find this concept very disturbing.
