What's the one, true, correct, Christian denomination?

Post #1

Post by nobspeople »

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?

The one that died with the Christ guy there.

All others are attempts to understand his thinking mushed through the sieve of human fallibility.

The one that gets ya strung up on a cross, I reckon.

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.

Then all denominations, no matter their differences, that agree to this are the 'one, true, correct' one?

No religious denomination borne of human thought can possibly be the one, true, correct'n, cause the one, true, correct'ns deadern a doornail.

The one, true, correct, Christian denomination is a hundred dollar bill.

[Replying to nobspeople in post #1]

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! 8-) :thanks:

(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!

Every 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.
