Since the forum appears to be developing into a "battleground" of UR's vs ET Christians, should a sub-forum be created where UR's may discuss or debate their doctrines, without constant confrontation with "conventional" Christians?

Christians are defined by their belief in Jesus Christ as the Savior of us all . . . NOT by their belief in an eternally tormenting God!!!

You don't think ET'ers are Christians?
Actually...the fact of the matter is that there are millions of Christians who believe that God is going to send lots of people to hell, where they will be tormented forever and ever. (not necessarily what I believe, I'm just telling you what A LOT of Christians believe) There are all kinds of Christians. Some believe in ET, some do not.Believing in ET is not what determines whether one is a Christian, or not. Ditto for UR.
That is NOT what I said. I said that belief isNOT what defines a Christian . . . as the whiners seem to want to imply!!

Conventional Christians? We're here just like everyone else, I think. To share the work of God's grace in our hearts and talk about Jesus and the Good News of the Gospel. Isn't that what brings the ETer's here? Besides, the ETer's give us all the more reason to search and compare the ETer's doctrines against the truth of scripture and the witness of the Holy Spirit within us.
Actually, it's been pretty edifying to discuss all these topics in an open forum such as this. Where else could I go and and meet such a diverse crowd of Christians? I can always opt out of a particular discussion or thread if it gets too wild. I've had a few nasty exchanges with some of the posters (Mike555 for instance...lol), but I have no malice at all towards him or anyone else and I hope he and others have none against me. I actually pray for you guys after discussions.
I don't think so because it is not just the christians who believe in UR who bring up the topic, it is up to those that do not want to discuss UR to not respond. It is obvious to me that christians on both sides ET vs UR want to discuss it and where better than a christianity forum.
