FWIW, I have no interest in saying who "goes to hell" and who doesn't. But I don't think it's necessarily wrong to say that Mormons (or Muslims, etc.) believe in a different Jesus than we do. I mean, if we take their theology at its word, than we have to acknowledge that they believe different things about Jesus than we do -- *very* different things, in some ways. Most Christian denominations have split off from one another not because they believe different things about Jesus, but because they believe different things about the Church, or about the specific way in which God is supposed to be redeeming the world now through the Body of Christ. But these, it seems to me, are smaller differences than the differences that divide small-o orthodox Christians from Mormons, Muslims and others who deny the divinity of Christ or, alternatively, have redefined divinity in some radical way. And, to repeat: having different beliefs about Jesus does not, in and of itself, send someone to heaven or hell, in my opinion. I can't believe the real Jesus would be so petty. -- dadl-ot mailing list http://mail.thehood.us/mailman/listinfo/dadl-ot_thehood.us http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.dadl.ot
