And that's where most error begins in relation to God.

Who is anyone to sit in judgment over who has the "right" approach to such beliefs?
Maybe Jesus! Let's look at what He said:
"Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
"Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
I will accept the Judgement of Jesus as to who has the "right" approach to such beliefs. Care to join me?
Sounds fair enough. Are you willing to play by the same rules? No creedal statements, etc.? No talk of having to believe in a three-in-one God? I can hardly wait to see how this plays out.
The credal statements summarize Christian belief and can be backed up by Biblical texts.
That darned Paul the Apostle was also just so mean! He actually told someone he wished they'd cut off their genitals!
And you peeps whine when we say someone that worships a god that used to be a man on another planet is not a Christian. Wow.
It is not a matter of what is believed ABOUT God . . . there is only ONE and Christ is His Son. There are no other gods to worry about. It is a matter of judging who is and who is not a Christian . . . that is the issue. ONLY God can judge that . . . no one else . . . certainly not some mere human being.
Which Jesus? Mine one born of relations between God and his Spirit wife? Or the one that is God himself?
Like God . . . there is only ONE Jesus. Confusing yourself with the myriad and fallible HUMAN beliefs ABOUT God and Jesus seems to be your problem. We humans do not determine who God is or is not . . . nor do we determine who Jesus is or is not. They are who they are and nothing we humans think makes the slightest difference. They will know who is and is not a Christian . . . not any mere human being.
The credal statements summarize Christian belief and can be backed up by Biblical texts.
IF they did there would not be so many versions. God and His Son have made it clear that "love of God and each other" is our charge . . . everything else is the result of human "precepts and doctrines of men." I follow Christ and will do what HE said His disciples should do . . ."love God and each other" daily and repent when they don't. Good luck with all your human "precepts and doctrines of men."
If you don't worship the only God you are not a Christian.
There IS only ONE . . . who else is there to worship? Are you polytheist?
