Mormons are harder because as far as I can tell, they think IHS is OUR savior (or the savior of some of us), but that SEEMS to mean that He is is A savior — the savior in our cosmic neighborhood, not THE cosmic universal, only one of His kind savior.

****

That is not accurate Mad Dawg, Jesus Christ is the Savior all of who choose to receive his gift.

It would make no sense to bestow a gift on someone who is not interested!

He sendeth rain upon the just and the unjust, doth he not? And the guy who just washed his car gets rained on as much as the guy who just sowed perennial rye-grass, but only one is happy.

As to making sense, I gave up that long long ago. It may not make sense to me, but things which often don't make sense to me make sense to God.

I don't want to argue with you about the truth or not of what you believe. I was wondering rather what you believe to be true, and specifically what you think a Christian is, so that you MIGHT say that there is some larger set of people rightly called "Christian" of which Mormons make a subset.

And to be a tad less glib: I tend to trust God (sometimes) to work stuff out. So TODAY a person, say Glenn Beck, might think that the gift of God is, well, nice but it doesn't have much to do with him personally. But the next day he receives God's gift, and THEN He realizes how much he wants it.

It's kind of the opposite of marriage, which you want until you have it. NO! Wait! ONLY kidding! Just joking ,dear. Heh heh heh (Put down the rolling pin and step away from the carving knife? dear?)
