Finn,

I haven't heard of that site before (not surprising since there are so many). Though I may disagree with certian specific answers, it is good to know that many are reaching out to the lost. As one of the q\a stated: Though there will be 'few' that will be in heaven, there still will be multitudes".

For my go to I usually go to [url=http://www.wels.net/what-we-believe]http://www.wels.net/what-we-believe
