" there are basic tenets of Christianity that make it Christianity."
But if Christianity is required for entrance to heaven, that would mean everyone who died before Christ turned 30 is burning in hell.
Isn't that part of the basic tenants?!?
If belief in Jesus as Savior is required, none of those folks did it.
Do you worship a God who created all those millions of souls, knowing they were all doomed for eternal hellfire?
"Pardons can absolutely be corrupt."
What about grifting with e-coins? Corrupt?
Or okay because of (R)easons?
