"........Gods sole chanel of communication and all other religions
are lost".
All denominations think that, Tom.
Maybe not all members, but the churches do.
I did receive your pm by email.

Tom, of course God through Jesus could save anyone, and the thief on the cross is a good example of that. But I was also answering your saying "Gods sole chanel of communication" that all denominations believe they are that channel of communications. Of course it is just my opinion, as it is a view that one can't necessarily prove.
Also it isn't religious organizations that are saved, it is individual believers, wouldn't you agree?

Tom, Jesus may care for all the churches even when they are not in agreement, or unity, but the bible still says unity, in liked mindedness in the Christians beliefs. Here are a couple verses on this.
1 Corinthians 1:10
10 I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought.
Ephesians 4:2-6
2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit-just as you were called to one hope when you were called- 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
Ephesians 4:11-13
11 It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, 12 to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

Thanks Tom, glad to see you back on. I often have wondered about how you are doing.
I'm not on much myself these days. Message boards kind of ran there course for me for awhile. I don't come to them much anymore.

Hi Tom, I see that you are mostly on The Trinity thread. I gave you a long reply to one of your posts, it was a bit too much work, so will be shorter, hopefully, in future.

I truly believe that the God of the bible is presented as unitarian, that is one.
I have a guy on my Hockey team with "The Devil" tatoo'd across his chest. I told him that at least he believes in God. He said that he didnt, I asked him where did the devil come from... BTW - He says "Jesus Christ" as a swear word more than anyone I know.But it is good in that being so different, we can be more than just tolerant of one another, but be friends and care for one another. It is how it should be, as the bible says to love all.
