God exists.

God is love.

God is just.

God is light.

God created the Universe, including Adam.

Adam fell.

God sent His only Son to save us.

Jesus was born of a virgin and the Holy Spirit.

Jesus was teaching people and doing miracles.

Jesus died on the cross and raised from the dead.

Jesus was seen by many people after his ressurrection.

All the authority in heaven and on earth was given to Him.

There is one Church composed of all true believers.

The Bible is inspired word of God.

Christ will return again.

There will be the ressurrection of the dead ones and the eternal life for the ones who are in Christ.

We are saved by grace through faith, which is a gift from God... not by keeping the law. Jesus fulfilled the law, which has not passed away in one jot nor tittle because it still condemns those who are not found in Him. The law was pointing forward to Christ, the spotless Lamb of God, Who was the only One capable of not breaking the law in any point, for though He was tempted in all ways as we are, He did not sin. He alone fulfilled the law, which was then nailed to the cross.

Jesus is the Creator of the heavens and the Earth. He is the great architect of the universe, and the Author and Giver of life. He holds the keys to life and death. In Him we live and move and have our being. All power and authority have been given to Him. He has overcome the world on our behalf, and we overcome the world by placing our faith and trust in Him.

The purpose of life is to come to know our Creator. He has created us to be in personal relationship with Him. He calls us out of the world, out of sin, out of our spiritual opposition to God in the natural man born of Adam, to offer us a life more abundant through Him in the Spiritual man of Jesus Christ, the second Adam, Who gave His life for us by paying our sin debt on the cross, that we might attain to life ever after in a new creation, free from the burden and sorrow of sin in this fallen world.

Mark 1:14-15 (NASB)
[SUP]14 [/SUP] Now after John had been taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,

[SUP]15 [/SUP] and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel."

Majority of people on earth claiming they are going to heaven and believe in Christ are biblically illiterate and deceived by unbiblical doctrines.

God loves us with an everlasting love. He sent His only begotten Son
to die on the cross for us. God made Him Who had no sin to be sin for us,
so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.

The Great Architect of the Universe (also Grand Architect of the Universe orSupreme Architect of the Universe) is a conception of God discussed by manyChristian theologians and apologists. As a designation it is used within Freemasonry to represent deity neutrally (in whatever form, and by whatever name each member may individually believe in). It is also a Rosicrucian conception of God, as expressed by Max Heindel. The concept of the demiurge as a grand architect or a great architect also occurs in gnosticism and other religious and philosophical systems. (from Wikipedia)

Due to the many "uses" of this name by ungodly groups, I cannot agree on this.
Not trying to be mean or contradictory, just giving a heads-up, that's all.:)

Gnostics and Esoteric Christians use the name of Jesus as well. Should we not use the name of Jesus then?

I understand, and thank you for your concern, which I appreciate. I have used the term before, and previously looked it up to make sure it was copacetic to do so. I was assured by what I read that there most definitely is nothing wrong with using that as a way to describe God. Lots of people use the word "God" also and mean all kinds of things by it. We should not let that stop us from using Names, titles, and/or proper descriptors just because others use the same words possibly at cross purposes. God designed and created the universe, and gave us life. Calling Him the great architect fits :)

The concept of God as the (Great) Architect of the Universe has been employed many times in Christianity. An illustration of God as the architect of the universe can be found in a Bible from the Middle Ages and the comparison of God to an architect has been used by Christian apologists and teachers.

Saint Thomas Aquinas said in the Summa: "God, Who is the first principle of all things, may be compared to things created as the architect is to things designed (ut artifex ad artificiata)." Commentators have pointed out that the assertion that the Grand Architect of the Universe is the Christian God "is not evident on the basis of 'natural theology' alone but requires an additional 'leap of faith' based on the revelation of the Bible."

John Calvin, in his Institutes of the Christian Religion (1536), repeatedly calls the Christian God "the Architect of the Universe", also referring to his works as "Architecture of the Universe", and in his commentary on Psalm 19 refers to the Christian God as the "Great Architect" or "Architect of the Universe".

I don't know what "this one thing" is yet.

Is there any one fact that we all agree on?
I think we can find common ground and build on it.

I doubt it. Some may say they agree...but, and then it'll be picking apart minutiae.

Just my opinion, but I find people in general to be extremely disagreeable creatures. Myself included.
