Subject: Is the UPC a Christian Church? |
Bible Note: If your definition of Christian is someone who belongs to Christ. ThenI have a suggestion. DO NOT JUDGE especally when they love Jesus Christ. That place belongs to Lord Jesus Christ not us little humans. I am not totally confortable with the Trinity Doctrine. I believe that Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is one God. But to explain this can't do it. I know the Father does everthing through Jesus Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit. I know that Jesus worships the Father but yet He is equal to the Father. I know that the Son and Father, will not forgive anyone who continues the blasempy the Holy Spirit. But will forgive if you blasempy the Son or the Father. Can't explain that either because the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are all equal, it is well past my understanding. Mohamand the founder of Islam stated this about Christians, Christians believe in 3 gods, The Father, The Son Jesus Christ, and Mary. (can guess where he got this from) The problem with sticking on the doctrine of the trinity which no one can explain is this: We put the doctrine into 3 persons and is also one person. None of these statements is correct in the truest since. God is not a person as what we define what a person is. Most define a person as Human or Human traits. God is alot more than this. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, have certain traits as He defined in his word so we can understand, but He is alot more than those traits. As far as I can tell, UPC believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and is God. The Jw's believe he is the son of God (an angel) and he is a god. Their is a big difference in the two. Are UPC saved I hope so. I do not know. But to say the serve another Jesus as the bible claims is stretching way to far for my taste. I can't make that claim. Everything you tell themn about Christ in the Bible they will say yes to and honestly believe it. So my suggestion is leave it in God's hands and do not judge them regarding Salvation or Christian. You yourself got a UPC to admit in The father and son. You can do that to any UPC with a couple of verses. And you don't have to twist the UPCer to say that. yes. |
