drstevej, you may not be aware of it, but Doug was searching for Christ when he began posting here and later he made his decision and was baptized. Hopefully after that, his idea of humor has changed since becoming a child of God, and one who will eventually be in Gods kingdom.
No I like Doug alot..there is no vendetta . If a doctrinal debate makes you uncomfortable i am sorry .
This is about what constitutes a Christian ..the Bodily resurrection and the reality of hell and the trinity constitute a professing Christian .
This is America and everyone is free to have what ever religion they desire. Christen or not. But if you are going to present yourself as a Christian and promote a non Christian doctrine then you have to expect there will be debate.
This is probably the least important error of the Armstrong cult . But it is an interesting give and take..
I am sorry JH but Doug has a different god and a different Jesus than Christians do. He has a biunity god among other non standard doctrine
Are you seriously suggesting that that your own favorite collection of doctrines comprises the "true" definition of "Christian"? Catholics believe in Purgatory, prayer to saints, petrine primacy, the doctrine of the Real Presence, etc. Not to mention that their concept of grace is different. Does this make them "non Christian"?
