Re: At this point in your Christian walk, would you date/marry someone who is unsaved
Lutheran, Baptist and Anglican are all Christian denominations. Not the same argument.
I'm utterly shocked that you believe we worship the same God. I completely disagree. Christianity, Islam and Judaism may all have Abraham in common, but that does not mean Christians, Muslims and Jews worship the same God. If that were true, why do all three faiths have different views of Jesus? Christians believe Jesus is God, Muslims believe He is not, and Jews are still waiting for their messiah. How then are we all worshipping the same God?
fifi134 - I believe the point that mstrublvr was trying to make is this...
You know how you just asked why do all three faiths (Christians, Muslims, Jews) have different views of Jesus?
Well, the point is... why do the various denominations within Christianity have different views of Jesus? (not a question to be answered, it's rhetorical, just to ponder on).
Think about it. One of the main issues is the concept of Trinity. Some Christians believe Jesus is God (Baptists). Some Christians do not believe Jesus is God (Oneness Pentecostals, Jehovah Witnesses). And that's just one hangup.
There are more fundamental and doctrinal disagreements. That's why there's so much division within the Christian religion...Baptist, Penecostal, Methodist, Catholic, Jehovah Witness, Presbyterian, Seventh Day Adventist, Amish, and you know what's even more sad? Divisions among denominations! Just take Baptist alone...you have Southern Baptist, Anabaptist, American Baptist, etc.
Jesus did not want this. And that's why we shouldn't get caught up in labels nor the traditional "church" system. We must solely rely on the Spirit of God.
