I am willing and glad to discuss UBF doctrine openly at any time, with any person, and without foolish arguments.

Yes, it is foolish to argue over doctrine. However, the best course is to openly discuss doctrine. If we are going to discuss doctrine, then we must be able to avoid foolish arguments.

It is my claim that UBF doctrine is in line with what is written in the Bible, both the Old and New Testament. The fundamental teachings in UBF may be foreign to some churches today, but they were certainly not foreign to the prophets or the original disciples of Jesus.

What you should probably do is to separate this forum into several sections: 1) a forum for those who oppose UBF on a doctrinal basis 2) a forum for those who oppose UBF on a personal experience basis and 3) a forum for those who oppose UBF on a cultural basis.

Brian.
