[quote user="MJ. Smith"]I got to wondering how many theological positions on how many issues exist to create the > 40,000 estimated denominations. Yes, I know that mathematically that a mere 16 yes/no positions is sufficient to reach 40,000 but I also that model is lousy for this case.

MJ: Very sensitive issue. Very complex also. Beyond a flawed resource, we have to really deal with the originators and the group involved (directly or indirectly) in its conception.

CA: Excerpt: "The epistle’s recipients are unknown. They were likely second-generation believers (2:3) who had suffered for the gospel (10:32–35). Extensive knowledge of the OT is assumed. The traditional view of the recipients as persecuted Jewish believers tempted to apostatize and return to Judaism is likely. The probable destination

Very interesting point of view: Excerpt: "The reason for this is simple: whereas Satan wants food he can absorb into himself, God wants sons and daughters, lovers whose “wills freely conform to His.” For this to happen, Lewis realized, we must have awareness and choice, and we grow more and more into an authentic relationship with God, more

Dan: I admire your willingness to explore different issues and from different angles. From my point of view, I would be interested in a deeper study of certain phenomena that could not be described as dreams, but seem to be actual experiences according to persons that had gone through it.
