    How would YOU like it if some Methodists decided that whatever sect YOU are part of "isn't Christian" because your sect doesn't fit THEIR definition of Christian? I know that you fundies and evangelicals have a special Gift from God that enables you to read and judge the hearts of others, but might I suggest you come on down from the Summit of Sinai to Calvary and learn some humility and grace? Just a thought. G

    Well the label of Christian has been given to far worse religions, then the Witnesses. So let them have it too.

    It depends on who you would ask, probably. Seems people have all different kinds of criteria on what makes a christian, a christian. My criteria is... do they use the new testatment? yes? then, yes. they qualify as christian regardless of who they pray to, whether they believe in a trinity, whether they consider themselves brothers of christ, or whatever. They use that part of the bible, they are christian.

    I know that makes christians uneasy, but they are using the same book, just interpreting it differently, as most christian religions do.

    Is there a reason why you must yell?

    Is there a reason you must strain out gnats while swallowing a camel? Here, is this font more to your Pharisaic liking? Pharisees are always about judging others and building fences and majoring in minors. I write arge because I see very poorly. So sorry that I inconvenienced you, Your Holiness.
