They had this giant heave ho this afternoon, it was just mind boggling. I do not criticize what their intent was but another commenter came into the middle of the scrum and just totally destroyed what ever these people thought they were bringing. All he did was say that "All things begin with Christ." It just goes right over their heads. I'm not even sure if this is truly what they are about.
Just an added thought; If you are secure in your faith in the Risen Savior, NOTHING should upset you. You should have an answer for every question, every criticism, every attack. They just simply don't. Dismissing people off hand equals weakness.
I looked for that person who said that, and the first one I found was you, saying, "I would suggest backing up just a bit until you arrive at the True Authority in these matters, which would be the One Lord of All." CIAMM then affirmed that you and I were saying the same thing, and then the conversation suddenly took another turn I don't quite understand.
I watched all the conversations today and don't recall another one such as you describe and didn't find it in initial search. It's a bit difficult to field the OP charge if this characterization of what happened today is already a bit divergent from my experience.
Of course all things begin with Christ, we are all about that, and dealing with the issue of universalism seems to have worked well and now moved on to some other charge that I'd love to cognize with you.

Thank you. I didn't think you meant u/ColloidalAlumina because that person was exploring the limits of uncertainty about universalism, which I didn't think you sympathized with. So that explains that without explaining why it agreed with your mood today.
So, you've described a situation and I'm asking again, doesn't Matt. 18:15-17 indicate you should take it up privately and not spread these accusations about freely? Do you think you're taking it to the church? I'm interested about your views of Matt. 18 process (you could've contributed to the thread on that subject), but more important is that I make myself available to you for reconciliation.
I hear you brother.
I loved what a pastor in Florida often says, " don't follow me because eventually I'm going to let you down . Follow Jesus.

I affirm that.

Christ is the starting point of what Christianity is.
