Theology for the Masses

Hank April 18th, 2008

From time-to-time, some LDS missionaries visit me at my aunt’s house here in KC-MO. Instead of shutting the door on them I sit down with them and to discuss the differences in our theologies, hoping to share the good news of Jesus Christ as is found in the Bible.

For the longest time I couldn’t find them and I really wanted to post them to see what other Christians thought of it. The following is the first of the two emails. I am curious to see your reactions to this understanding of grace and salvation (Honzo, sorry I hijacked your “What is Grace” post series but I thought it applied; you can feel free to remove it from the series).
