Dave, it is very unfortunate that you have left the faith and attached yourself to the Unitarian Universalist movement, which cares nothing about faith or love towards Jesus Christ our Savior. Our Lord's great commands are to love God, and to love our neighbor. Unfortunately the Universalists have forsaken the first command, and decided to focus only on the second command. While better than not, to care only for good works, thinking that by them you can be saved, is perhaps the greatest deception.
For those not familiar with the movement, here are the seven Principles and Purposes --The movement is devoted to New Age humanism, and only borrows from the Scripture to provide legitimacy to their cause. There is nothing in their mission statement which even acknowledges God exists.

That is the first time I have ever heard that statement I have just placed in bold. I don't have the time to respond to the other nonsense. You are making stuff up. Honestly I don't know what you believe other than make statements on this forum. Really, what do you believe and what is the outcome of your beliefs? If I was to "assess" you based on everything you have posted you don't really attend any church regularly, you don't read the Bible frequently, you don't even pray very often and yet you can condemn me. I get the sense that your life is a mess. My wife and I have a great relationship, we do things together (e.g. hiked the Inca trail, hiked down the Grand Canyon, kayaked in Alaska, trekked in Cuba as well as kayak and fish near our home along the Atlantic Ocean etc) and try to live out the life of the things Jesus emphasized in his Ministry. We have recently been caring for a couple who lost their 19 year old daughter. I haven't heard one word about you and of course UntoHim doesn't want to say anything about his life. You want to attack me for things that you are clueless about. Let's get back to the issues of this thread and get away from your personal stuff against me because it is unproductive. Please. What is wrong with you?
