The Puritans have indeed gotten a "bum rap" from historians. Christianity has also changed a lot in America over the past two hundred years. It seems to be more liberal today than it once was, but perhaps that is merely on the surface.
Thanks for the reference. I will have to study the matter in more depth.
To me, it is still difficult to comprehend how with such a wide spectrum of beliefs (from Amish to Unitarian) Christianity is able to maintain a unity of faith without a unity of doctrine.
I guess when Christ comes back again, He will clear it all up for us.
There IS NO UNITY of light [truth] with darkness [false doctrine/faith]. Why do you continue to make such inane statements???
It could only be because you didn't *really* read or comprehend what I wrote to you in answer to your questions.
