And it doesn't matter if one chooses the apocalyptic Judaism God that Jesus worshiped and advocated for or instead picks the revised, repackaged, rethought, sanitized, neutered and modified God of the Apostle Paul ??
Just want to be clear on this.
And if the Apostle Paul God is in fact the preferred one, I'll follow on with an as revised by Joe Smith, Mary Baker Eddy, Martin Luther, Jim Bakker, Billy Graham, Ripoll or William Tyndale ??
This is important because I'm sure that most of us have been in a conversation a christian who claims how many millions of other christians there are in the world as if that is evidence that their religion is the correct one. But the same person will later then claim in a debate that those christians are not True Christians because they do something different.
You wouldn't want to become a christian thinking that you were going to be saved and then found that you chose the wrong sect.
