What is needed...

OK, maybe we can go with that. Except...The only thing I would add to this is the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is the focal tenet of Paul in I Cor 15:14-17:

"And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins."

Don't you think this is pretty central?

And I'm debating whether the Deity of Christ should be included, but then this is not evident in some denominations.

OK, yes, I think these are foundational things, but JWs and LDSs would disagree. Another important thing is that I am not trying to open up the COC for debate here; that lies fully under Brian's jurisdiction. I am only looking for views about how to talk honestly and openly with each other under any circumstance, not just here at CR.

cheers,

That's why I jumped on the anti-catholic thing on the other thread. Notice how the fundies are entirely silent? Faux tolerance will get us nowhere.

No.. you're just upset because we didnt take the bait. I have no desire to be contentious with anyone
