>This sounds kind of kooky and Puritanical. I am not speaking as a standards bearer for Christianity.<

If you claim to be Christian and yet speak blasphemously of the Christian God while also espousing doctrines that are antithetical to those of every single historic Christian orthodox Church, you then imply you are ignorant of your faith, or an imposter.

>I do not claim to be a prophet. I think that someone considering themselves to be a Christian allows for discussion and opinion.<

Discuss as you please, but when you call yourself a Christian and yet utter blasphemy against God and espouse doctrines that are rejected by every single orthodox Christian Church in the world, then you should expect to hear a counter opinion as part of your “discussion.”

>Who are you to be the judge of heresy and blasphemy?<

I am in better position to judge you than you are to judge God. No Christian worth the salt in his body would ever seriously claim, as you have, that God randomly threw people together-- making mistakes with their identity. This is blasphemy. No Christian, let alone an Evangelical Christian, worth the spit in his mouth would ever utter such pure blasphemy against the God that saved him.

Nevertheless it is not I who judge you. The Scriptures are not all shrouded in mystery. It is a simple matter to read them on these issues and reason that you blaspheme and utter heresy. It is also a simple matter to read the writings of Church leaders throughout history, frail as they have been, and see that from early times the Church, using the Scriptures, has rejected as outright heresy what you have espoused here. I do not judge you, I merely repeat what history has already said about your heretical beliefs.

Were you to claim yourself a non-believer, I would have said nothing at all to you. But you claim yourself a Christian, an Evangelical Christian no less. Surely your church utterly rejects your beliefs.
