I am posting some comments addressed in a sidebar to DavidH. I think this posting is relavant in terms of the practicality of comparing creedal concerns and the resolution of differences between people of faith. David has been an example of following the "rules" laid down against any occasion on his part of evangelizing on TT. He has been faithful to that rule in this sidebar, as well.
My thoughts are what they are.

As you might have suspected,�� I personally think this is great news.� Our "differing faiths" have a point of commonality� -�� and that is the biblical message.��
This very thing has transpired between traditionally Christian _expression_ and the Seventh Day Adventist.�� A number of my customers are Seventh Day.�� All were eager to speak of their faith to me,�� complete with literature and personal testimony.�� When I responded,� sharing my belief that the gospel as defined in the Corinthian letter and limited to the wonderful notion of the Friendship of Christ and His Patient Fellowship with His Disciples,� well, we all discovered more than commonality.� Brotherhood was the blessing.�
So,� let the dialogue begin.�� Both sides will be hindered by the concern over compromise, a legitimate concern, incidentally.�
Thanks for the postings.
