[QUOTE="aiki, post: 69700232, member: 178791"] I don't mean to be rude, but if I am going to be faithful to the teaching of Scripture, I have to say that UU is a false religion leading people straight to hell. UU may make people feel good about themselves; it may make them feel "spiritual" and enlightened; it may give them cause even to feel morally-superior to those who are not as conscious of, and concerned about, social justice issues. But none of these things bring people into fellowship with God. [B]John 14:6 6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. [/B] If Jesus is right, then UU is wrong. It's that simple. And so any "Christian" who finds attending a UU church comfortable is very likely not a Christian at all. Christianity is a highly exclusivistic religion because it is a religion concerned about truth. Spiritual and moral truth are not the flexible, grey, shifting ground that western post-modern cultures want to think they are. If the revelation of God in the Bible is right, if what Scripture teaches about God is the truth, then all other religions that contradict that revelation and truth are wrong. I don't know what failings of Christian churches, exactly, you're thinking of, but the churches I have attended have all been very charitable and concerned about justice for the weak and vulnerable, about alleviating poverty, and about saving souls. But we are told in Scripture that we are eternal creatures and it is for eternity that we ought now to be preparing and living ([B]Col. 3:1-4[/B]). We are told also in the Bible that this world and all that it contains will be burned up and replaced ([B]2Pe. 3:10[/B]). God's word tells us, too, that God's kingdom is not an earthly kingdom but a heavenly and spiritual one ([B]Jn. 18:36[/B]). In light of these things the most important thing a disciple of Christ can do - by far - is preach the Gospel and make disciples of Jesus Christ. [B]Matthew 16:26 26 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?[/B] We can make the poor, rich, the weak, strong, the oppressed, free but if we fail to warn them of the wrath of God to come and neglect to share with them the way of salvation, we have done nothing of eternal value. We have only made them comfortable on their way to hell. Selah. [/QUOTE]
