Urshan did look like a fish out of water, IMO. I consider OP's brother's and sister's in Christ though... Martin knew exactly what Urshan's beliefs were and the debate was in regards to Oneness vs. Trinity, so I don't know why he would say that anyone denying the trinity was not his brother unless he did mean that OP's are not his brother's in Christ.
Of course, this is assuming that my memory on this part is correct.

I'm very new here and I can tell you I'm getting zapped with the revelations on the UPC left and right.
I must have been sleeping thru all this...LOL! I just learned I'm a "three stepper" and my last two pastors were "one steppers" ...who knew...not me!
I do know there are hard people everywhere in every denomination, I saw that in UPC, I saw it in non-demon as well. But, I could never get away from grace and love as being the most important attributes of Jesus and what He expects of His children. Those attributes are what drew me to Him...somehow, somewhere this Jewish girl knew Jesus loved me and even if it had to be a secret with Him and I, I loved Him too.
Now, for that to shine thru me like it should is my prayer!
|
This is my take as well, I have attended several UPC most of my life but I have not seen some of the things that get brought up here, if they are true then its sad, just hasnt been my experience. But it is assumed that the whole org is such a terrible thing.

I'll be very interested to find out exactly what the exchange was.
Will you post your findings in this thread?
Thanks in advance for your efforts.

Anyone who claims Christ as Lord and that God has raised Him from the dead, I accept as a brother. Period.

Nooooo he says "be followers of me even as I am (a follower) of Christ"
That word "even as" tends to make the difference there

I think they get it from Psalms. But it is not a direct quote word for word.

MissBratt, I knew there was a good reason that I liked you (besides the fact that you are good friends with PT. And besides the fact that your husband has such great recipes......)

To make grammatical sense, it would need to be, "Be ye followers of me, even as I also [am] a follower of Christ.
And of course, the "am" is added by translators so we don't have a direct match. I don't think we know that Paul meant to say "as I follow Christ".
Point is, the bible doesn't say, "Follow me as I follow Christ."
