I hear this a lot when topics like these get brought up but I can bet my left nut that none of these Christians really preach this message in your post

Y'all can lie to yourself on the internet but real life proves beyond reasonable doubt that its all a lie as many of these Christian denominations find many others "Heretical" and if you put your ears to the ground you can hear preachers say so so and so denominations are not from Christ while those denominations also return the favour. From Arianism to "Mariolotry", from thefilioque, to anti-trinitarian Oneness Pentecostalism, from hardline Feeneyism to Christian Universalism, from Quietism to televangelists ... any doctrinal standpoint held by one Christian group is guaranteed to be held in contempt by many other (ostensibly) fellow Christians.

"By their fruits you will know them," wrote the unknown author(s) of the book we call Matthew, and those words are quite right. The fruits of Christianity have always been discord among themselves, dehumanization of others and mutual persecution over whatever passes for heresy at that time and place. "A good tree cannot bear bad fruit" applies wonderfully to Christianity. By that very standard, the tree of Christianity is rotten to the core and more prickly than a cactus. It is evident and obvious that there is no "still, small voice" guiding Christians, that the Bible is wrong when it promises to reveal the truth to believers ... because regardless of one's belief, there are millions upon millions of other Christians who are convinced of that belief's incorrectness, convinced that the Holy Spirit has lit their path to truth (and likely think said "heretics" deserve eternal punishment to boot despite the fact that they are all supplicants to the same Lord).

A place where pastors exploit gullible christians and take their money?

Gullah:

You're not contradicting me, you're merely pointing out the same problems I noticed with some Christians that made me make my original post. It proceeds from ignorance of the scriptures and the true nature of the Church. There are many Christians out there that understand this truth and you can never see them engaged in interdenominational supremacy battles because they know we are all one.

When I say we, I mean all who have accepted Jesus into their lives and serve him truthfully and faithfully because I'm also fully aware that there are a lot of wolves in sheep clothing masquerading as Christians while their intention is to deceive the flock. Christ is the universal head of the church and we are all one body in Him. Now remember, I said this church is Spiritual so don't ever expect to see a time where all Christian denominations will come together and be unified under one physical Christian denomination. God knows those who are His and as many as they are in this world, they are part of His Church irrespective of the denomination they belong to

#CaveatEmptor

A man parading himself to be an Evangelist with the name, Evang. Chris Ayokunle Ashogbon a member who worship with Covenant Light Church, minister and mantee with the senior pastor, Nuel Manufor. He stays at Bariga, around Gbagada axis. He is currently being hunted by the Nigerian Police Force and other security agencies for the theft of a hefty amount of foreign currency.

The public and churches in particular are warned to be at alert as this man moves from one church to the other with the intent of defrauding and stealing from innocent individuals.

He was last seen around Ojudu-Berger few days back but is currently believed to be in Sango-Ota, a suburb of Lagos.

Find below a recent photographs of him and his sponsors.

The Church that Jesus called his bride has nothing to do with denominations, It is Spiritual and Universal. It comprises of all who are children of God and who worship him in truth and in spirit. It doesn't matter what denomination they belong to, if they have accepted Christ and serve him faithfully, they are part of the body of Christ(Church)

jozz:


You are completely and emphatically wrong sir.

hopefulLandlord:


Christianity also went through a period of doing that though, they just don't do it anymore

hahn:


You have to believe in the fairy tale of Jesus and pretend to live the kind of life he lived as described in the book of total nonsense, contradictions, magic stories and immense uselessness, the bible.

OLAADEGBU:


Thank God you're wrong.

hahn:


Too bad you can't prove it

OLAADEGBU:


To prove God is real?

Your image is misleading and intelligence behind it is too low to even counter

Could the reason be because of this?

Let's ask Christian sects how to define Actual Christianity:

Methodist: It is accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior and publicly sharing that acceptance by getting baptized through sprinkling of water.

Baptist: No, no, no -- you must be DUNKED in water, heathen.

Pentecostal: Yer both wrong -- ye must be baptized by the Holy Spirit and ye must speak in tongues to prove you are saved.

Lutherans: You don't need to do any of that. Our founder said just believe and have faith (oh yeah and he REALLY hated Jews).

Presbyterian: How droll -- lol. No no..you see it does not matter what you do or do not, God has already decided who the true Christians will be and they are obviously all Presbyterians.

Episcopalians: Well, we each get to decide what constitutes Christianity. What is in your heart? What do you think it is for you? What say you, Bishop Spong?

Church of Christ: None of you are going to heaven because you use musical instruments in your services and God hates that.

Jehovah's Witness: Something Something Kingdom Hall; something something no birthdays, several End Times falsely predicted, no blood transfusions,,,,

Seventh Day Adventist: Pah! None of you even have the right day.

United Church of Christ: It's all good; let's listen to an acoustic guitar solo and accept gay people.

Non-denominational: Gay people? ewww. No no, ye must build megachurches with gyms and cafes to be righteous to god.

Catholic: Ummm....oldest sect here, guys. Forget that "accepting Jesus" stuff. You must mediate with God via a priest and eat crackers to get saved (just do not leave your kids alone with said priests, OK?). Oh yeah..and Virgin Mary is way cool.

Church of England: Yeah, what the Catholic said...but divorce is 100% OK.


Unitarian Universalists: Why are you guys even trying to define Christianity? All beliefs are the same (whoops.we aint even Christians).

"Over 30,000 denominations of the Christian church and not one can agree with the other!"

Most of those denominations agree on the basic tenants of the Christian faith. Only on non-essential doctrines there is disagreement.

However, it's human nature to disagree about almost everything. I'm sure you would agree with that.

OLAADEGBU:
"In the early 1500s, a German monk named Martin Luther was so conscious of his sins that he spent up to six hours in the confessional. Through study of the Scriptures he found that salvation didn't come through anything he did, but simply through trusting in the finished work of the cross of Jesus Christ. He listed the contradictions between what the Scriptures said and what his church taught, and nailed his "95 Thesis" to the church door in Wittenberg, Germany.

Martin Luther became the first to "protest" against the Roman church, and thus he became the father of the Protestant church. Since that split, there have been many disagreements about how much water one should baptise with, how to sing what and why, who should govern who, etc, causing thousands of splinter groups. Many of these groups are convinced that they alone are right. These have become known as Protestant "denominations." Despite the confusion, these churches subscribe to certain foundational beliefs such as the deity, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Bible says, "The foundation of God stands sure, having this seal, The Lord knows them that are his (2 Timothy 2:19)"

"Thomas Jefferson once wrote of a preacher, Richard Mote, "who "exclaimed aloud to his congregation that he did not believe there was a Quaker, Presbyterian, Methodist or Baptist in heaven, having paused to give his hearers time to stare and to wonder. He added that, in heaven, God knew no distinctions"

"For the Lord knows the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish" (Psalms 1:6).- The Evidence Bible.

Or as much as a Buddhist and a Sango worshippers

LOL IT'S NOT EVEN CONTESTABLE.

Holy spirit would reveal the truth to believers

Of course he did, he revealed the truth to you and those that differ from the truth he revealed to you either don't have it or are lying or are heretics. its almost as if you're holy spirit
