A show of hands could be a nifty exercise. For instance, Rev is former FMC and I’m Baptist leaning Catholic. (Or is that backwards?)
Anyone else? I’ll bet we have an interesting mix!
I tried very hard to to be a good enough person. I always fell short and the guilt was killing me.
I could not overcome the obsessions in my life.
I asked a Priest who would go to heaven. He told me:
"That is a Great Mystery."
I spent time with Christians at work. They seemed happy, despite terrible difficulties in their lives. One man had two children born with deformities. He always smiled and told me it was a "blessing."
Another woman had cancer, and she hugged everyone and told them she was "just fine" in between her throwing up and her wig falling off. Then, she would smile again.
I wondered "What do THESE people have?"

I am not ANTI anything but am very PRO BIBLE and am willing to listen to HONEST differences in doctrines.
I’m sort of an eccletic mix of Church of God - United Methodist - Christian and Missionary Alliance - Mennonite - Reformed Presbyterian and Assembly of God (where I’m currently a member).
In other words, I’m an ecumenical mess.
