Do we interpret some things (like the Trinity and Godhead, or the life hereafter and what life in God’s Kingdom will be like( differently than other Christians? Yes. But that does not take away from or change the essential doctrine ....
***I beg to differ. The deity of Christ is an essential doctrine. That’s the one I choose to hang my hat on, because Jesus died for claiming to be equal with God. So it must be important.
A case in point showing how important the deity of Christ is, right here on this thread.
