About 3 years ago, I was playing a game called Team Fortress 2, when all of the 24 players left the server except for me and a player named "Amulon", later to be known as Bryan. We friended each-other in the game and soon joined a clan together and became partners in creating our own gaming group of warriors. As we became better friends we each realized the other person wasn't your everyday guy... something was different, neither of us swore or used crude humor, and we were both very honorable people. That's when we found out that we're both heavily involved in our faiths. Mine being Orthodox Christianity, and his being The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
I had no idea what Mormonism was at the time, I "knew" Jehovah's Witnesses were bad and that Mormons might be something like that, but this Mormon was grade "A" material! I figured he's just a Christian, like me! I was happy that we would both be going to heaven someday.
After a while I learned more about the LDS church and came to the conclusion that we did not belong to the same church after all... That we believe in two different Gods, two different Jesus' and that our two faiths could never be reconciled... Our only option was to investigate both faiths and see if we could find out which one, if not both, was false.
So here we are, We've spent about a year going through intensive investigation on each of our respective faiths and decided we'd post them on the web just in case our discussions proved to be helpful in any way for those out there who may run into a similar (completely random) situation.
Today Bryan and I are great friends and although we joke around quite a bit, we both have incredible respect for the other person and their faith. We are both trying to find the truth, for God is truth and the truth will set us free. Please keep us in your prayers and any comments are welcome.
Let the games begin! W007!
