What is Fusion Theism?

This is My Declaration of Fusion Theism

These are the primary principles of the Fusion Theism movement I am trying to start:

1: Truth is more important than any tradition or creed.

2: Truth is on an equal level with kindness, and the two should be balanced together in harmony.

3: Logic should always be used when reasoning or studying in the Scriptures or anything else. If it is illogical, reject it.

4: The Holy Scriptures are inspired of God, but not necessarily inerrant, and not all Scripture is of equal importance for us today.

5: The teachings and words of Jesus Himself take priority over and above any other teachings found in the Bible. (Hebrews 2:1-5)

6: Modern Bible Translations are good and can be considered "inspired" of God, but they are not infallible or inerrant.

7: God the Father is the Supreme Unbegotten Deity, and His Divine Only-Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, is a 2nd God worthy of our worship.

8: God is never the author of evil thoughts. (James 1:13) Therefore, most forms of Calvinism should be rejected.

9: Christians should not divide or stop fellowship over non-essential doctrines. (Romans 14)

10: God can and does change His mind, and views Himself as free to do so unless  He has sworn an oath or made a promise.

11: God has the ability to see anything He desires to know about the future, but He selectively chooses to use this ability to only know certain things related to His purposes.

12: The Bible does not teach a literal eternal torment.

13: Jesus had sinful desires just like we do, yet He never gave into them to commit sin.

14: All essential beliefs should be based on the holy books and not on the later creeds or councils.

15: Science, including evolution, should be accepted. God made the universe and told us to observe it. No one observes it better than scientists. Our beliefs should harmonize with modern scientific facts.

16: The Law of Moses expired when Jesus came to earth as the Messiah.

17: Jesus came down from above as a real human, fulfilled the Law, suffered and died for our sins, was buried, rose from the dead, ascended into heaven, and is returning one day.

18: Jesus is Lord, Mighty God, Savior, Messiah, King, Mediator, High Priest, the Divine Son of God, and the Son of Man sitting at God's right hand.
