And Calvin? Can a person reject the church of Calvin and still be saved?

I’m sorry, but Aren’t you doing the exact action you are criticizing?

Yes, but have attended in many different faiths.

I'm sorry, but helping people is not based upon what faith they are. Such is not remotely love nor Christian behavior.

haha. You'd be amazed how many atheists have tried to convince me that their morals were somehow not subjective and somehow superior to mine.

With completely subjective morals that don't fit into any scientific studies :P

Vast vast majority of life and the beliefs you or anyone else holds fall into that "subjective" category.

Test it out in your own life. And I'll acknowledge that. My experience does differ though.

No. I'm not going to discount your experience: its very real. But I will point out that your experience also is not a pure scientific method (like one that you would publish in a journal with control groups etc). I for example, would not fit your previously observed trend.

Rather, no use that you see ;) Again, I can only answer for me. If you want want an experiment in a scientific journal, that's what you need. However, we as human beings run lots of experiments that do not follow such rigid methodology. An individual's experiences would be one such example...

Who said those have to be opposed to each other? The standard medical practices were just standard. The human leader of my church right now is was a world-leading doctor for many years, leaving to serve full-time at church. The decision to not congregate was made before the outbreak reached it's...

That church would not remotely e scientific, and I have a major problems with what you're describing. But others aren't that way. Going with the example of viruses: my church is not congregating right now, specifically to prevent the spread of disease. There is belief in anointing and...

I was referring to me :) Both involve testing something out, observing results, crafting ideas, and then rinse & repeat. That core is the same.

"Mormonism" is a branch of Christianity just like Catholicism or Protestantism. - written by a "Mormon" scientist. Faith is similar to a scientific test in several ways: you experiment on the Word, observe results, repeat many times, and move from there. It is different in that faith is an...

Would you care to address my comment rather than just brushing it off?

This isn't very helpful. If person A studies scripture, prays, and reaches a different conclusion than person B, then he's going to point fingers at person B and say that B doesn't understand or that B is a false teacher etc. And vise versa. Round and round it goes.

There's carriers in all communities at this point.

No one said it was. However, it is still very real and still very important.

It's not the first-choice pick, but it's still there and still very real. Christians don't stop worshiping the Lord or caring for each other just because it's temporarily not an option to get together in a large church building.

Not holding large in person meetings doesn't mean the church stops running. Rather things move to 1-on-1 caring and tech facilitated preaching.
