As the saying goes, "You can't throw a rock without hitting a [insert item here]". While that's not literally true for Christianity, we do see a lot - a lot - of Christian based faiths.
Can they all be true if they're different, even by a little?
Christian belief A
Christian belief B
Both are 99.9% identical in their beliefs. But that's not 100%. So they're not the same. Assuming one of these two are right, that means, since they're not identical, one is wrong - even if it's by the tiniest of margins.
Seven Day Adventists
Mormons
Methodists
Nazarenes
JWs
Roman Catholics
Byzantine Catholic
Syrian Catholic
Baptists
Southern Baptists
Lutheran
Amish
Mennonite
The list is almost endless.
Which one of these denominations (or one not listed) is the correct one?
And why?
What's the one, true, correct, Christian denomination?

My point is that once Jesus - the "Christ" in "christian" - died, well there we are. We're left with folks telling us all about how Jesus thinks him this, and Jesus thinks him that, but the man himself is as mute as stone on any of it.
So the one, true, correct, Christian denomination died up there on the cross with the dude it is, from which christians get their name.

I do not believe any one denomination is the correct one. I'm not sure I belong to the one, true religion either. However, I feel my religion accommodates the full truth that's out there. Truth is important to me. But these are great times when God can display on a tablet-pc from radio-astronomy on ghost detection setting. Hurray!
(I'm Lutheran.)

I'm cool! - Stronger Religion every day! Also by "mathematical Religion", the eternal forms, God closing the door on corrupt humanity, possibly!

Post #10Every religious organization I know of has their hand out. And the greater the denomination (the $100 note being the largest in circulation) the broader their smile.
