Thank you for the ping to your post!

I believe all of us who love God and are Christian ought to follow Paul's example at Athens (Acts 17) when obeying the Great Commission whether ministering to those who believe nothing or like Apollos, believed in part or in error (Acts 18).

At Athens, Paul addressed the Greeks in their own terms, understanding what they believed and reasoning with them.

And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all [men], apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And [that] they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. - 2 Timothy 2:24-26

So does it matter is the God that is one of many gods and that he has a body and wives, and that Jesus is a separate god ?

I just wonder where you draw the line? It is a matter of spiritual discernment and believing the creeds of the church are divinely inspired and true.

Another site I post on would not allow some one that did not accept the Christian definition of God as 3 persons in one being and that did not believe in the creed to post as Christians .

You know Alamo , just because some one has the name jesus in the church name does not mean it is the same jesus .

I always say , if you sleep in a garage and goo Beeb beeb , it does not mean you are a car.

Christianity has defined it official parameters. Polytheism is not considered a Christian concept ( or a Jewish one)

Discernment is everything

You wouldn't by any chance be speaking of the same Paul who also said:

9) But avoid foolish questins, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10) A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
11) Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
Titus 3:9-11 KJV

At Athens, Paul addressed the Greeks in their own terms, understanding what they believed and reasoning with them.

Would that be the same Paul who alsosaid:

And I, bretheren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech, or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
2) For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
3) And I was with you in weakness and in fear, and in much trembling.
4) And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
I Corinthians 2:1-3 KJV

You mean that Paul?
