No, but I responded too and I was the one that mentioned what I used to be.

Newsflash - Christ didn’t start a ‘denomination’.

My apologies for confusing the posts. I’m responding to Colofornian.

..."evangelical" isn't a church

I beg your pardon?

If I was a member of the Evangelical Free denomination, you're telling the world that's not a church?

The true body of Christ is flesh and blood, not brick & mortar (not a building), and not primarily "institutional".

The Greek word for "church" is ecclesia (also spelled ekklesia)...it literally means "called-out ones."

So, I'm a "called-out one" -- part of the universal flesh-and-blood Body of Christ, and I associate more with fellow Evangelicals than non-Evangelicals, tho I recognize great diversity in that Body of Christ.

Evangelicals have indeed formally banded together as part of the Body of Christ. They formally banded together in 1942 to found the National Asso. of Evangelicals. Just because you might not recognize them as part of the wider Body of Christ, doesn't mean we have to honor your slight.

Obama is, at best, a secularist with Islamic sympathies who uses Christianity for political cover. He wants Christianity marginalized or eliminated. Obama doesn’t want to be saved; he wants to be the savior.

You just described Willard...

Mormonism was related to the essence of Islam

Mohammad or the Sword
Joseph Smith or the Sword...

and there are several pararrells

and Joseph Smith was called the American Mohammad...

and people who refused to accept him as “the prophet of god” were slaughtered..

Willard too used Christians and Christianity for a political cover...
