I generally try to stay away from deep theology. No one seems to agree with anyone on all the details.

I picture evangelists, such as the first apostles, going to a land like India and spreading the gospel. Were some people saved? I sure hope so. Did those people understand with great precision all about baptism, confession, communion and other sacraments, purgatory, contraception, etc? Probably some of that stuff went over their heads or didn’t interest them.

I’m thinking that 2000 years ago, people could be saved without getting all the details “right”.

I am a sinner. I know it. I try to be better. My only hope is in Jesus because I don’t deserve to be in heaven, but perhaps through Grace I’ll make it there.

Why fight over divisive doctrine?

Extremely well put.

For your perusal: St. Thomas Christians

Truth is important. If you don’t know the truth, you don’t know Jesus. The sword that comes out of his mouth is the truth, because it both penetrates and divides.
