Dear Tybreaker YOU WROTE > What happened to the name "Judaic Universalism", or haven't you agreed > yet what to call yourselves?

No-one comes to the Father except through me." MY RESPONSE I believe in a Sovereign LORD who completely knows the various powers behind the various monotheistic religions. He is in total control. So you misunderstood my statement. God is superior to these religions inasmuch as he is not bound by the teachings of these religions. They are meant as a guide to the seeker only, and should not be viewed as absolute truth. The only thing that should be viewed as absolute truth is God himself. As the Historical Jesus Scholars note (see the Jesus seminar book, the acts of Jesus), Jesus probably never said the words of John 14:6. Your beliefs are part of a dying fundamentalist religion which has had its day both theologically and intelletually. The only hope for Christianity is to reform the message so it can be universally applied in a modern age. Kind regards Callodyn Bradlock
