Funny, the vast majority of Christians who are now living, or who have
ever lived, disagree with your fundamental doctrines. Hence, clearly,
your 'fundamentals' are either a) unknown to most who are saved or b) not
actually true.
Makes it kind of hard to call your 'fundamentals' fundamental at all.
> Christianity is a faith but faith is always based upon knowledge.
Blessed are those who have not seen, and yet believed. Sounds to me
like trust and faith in testimony, not *knowledge* of the events in
any sense we would call it 'knowledge.'

And yet, you have a terrible understanding of who God is, for you hold
to the vile doctrines of the false theology of Calvinism.
