Menno even excommunicated the Swiss Brethren for not accepting his strict views on excommunication. MattY, I just want to say that thus sentence made me laugh out loud. Luther also "excommunicated" Zwingli and the reformed church in Geneva because they couldn't agree on the metaphysics at...

I have read many NDEs (Near Death Experiences) and there certainly is some commonality in these experiences but also much uniqueness. Death is a subject that some don't care to talk about but it's gonna happen. NDEs of professing Christians I find especially fascinating. So far I haven't personally ...

I'm curious why you 'didn't think someone in a conservative setting would be so bold in sharing this'. Why would she need to be bold to share her experience in a conservative setting ? I'm missing something here.

That’s not unusual. Forty mill...

My thought has often been that the way most of us born again Christians live is that most of us do believe in universalism or we don't believe in endless torment for the unsaved in hell like most say they do.
