If a Bishop is telling people which "events' like that that they should or should not attend, that is not the norm and ios wrong. I have been a member for 41 years, served in Bishoprics, etc.

As to the Christ I worship, you can read my witness for Christ,HERE, on my site

Jesus, born in Bethlehem of the Virgin Mary through the power of the Holy Ghost. Taken to Egypt as a babe when Joseph was warned to escape Herrod's murderous rampage. Returned to Judea and taught as a young child in the Temple to the astonishment of the Priests there. Grew up in Nazareth with Joseeph the carpenter and Mary. Performed his first miracle (at least as recorded) by turning water to wine at the wedding. Performed his ministry, healing the sick, feeding the multitudes, casting out evil spirits, raising the dead...and preaching the Gospel, that He was the Son of God and the Redeemer. Unjustly tried and sentenced to death. Suffered in the Garden and died on the Cross whose blood has atoned for all of our sins...if we will but accept Him as our perosnal Savior. Rose from the dead the third dead in a glorious resurrection which broke the bonds of physical death for us all. Ascended to sit on the right hand of God, as the martyr Stephen testified and who will return to this eartyh to rule as Savior and King for the Millennium.

That is the Christ I worship and who has saved me and atoned for my sins. There is only one historic or doctrinal individual that that applies to and He is my Savior.

We have difference...very clear ones on interpretations on what Heaven is going to be like, and the nature of the Godhead (or trinity), etc....but the key and kernal issue is that Jesus Christ saves and that is what I believe, teach, and have been convicted in my heart despite whatever other differences.

I am glad you have faith in and believe in Jesus Christ and God bless you and yours for it. It is the coming together of all of us who believe these things and the moral underpinnings for them which He taught which keeps America free.

My point was simple...do not paint with a broad brush and depict me or mine as anything like Islam and the tyranny and deniers of Christ that that religion represents at its core because it is simoply not true.

Sorry for the length and the rant.

God's speed.
