Protestantism

Brian, I think you'll find your statement about history is incorrect, at least until the Council of Nicea. The historical evidence supports a diverse body of beliefs in Christianity, much like the New Age and Neo-Pagan movements of today. The theology did not get codified until after the Roman Catholic Church was founded.

Yes, Jesus is God in Mainstream Christianity and the Holy Ghost as well. Good, do you think anyone in this discussion did not know that, or is the theology of the Baptists the fire-and-brimstone lessons that the Landover Baptist people pretend it is?

See, this is one thing that the Mormons don't do. Hell isn't an easy thing to achieve and has very specific rules. Most people don't qualify. You would have to have seen God or Jesus and then deny that either one exists and not recant it before your death. (Yes, I know about blood atonement, but that did not last past Brigham Young's death.)

Now, I personally believe both viewpoints are wrong and that Hell is a mental state that we often create for ourselves. Where is the Liberal to Protestant thinking on that?
