"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.

Lies. The difference between some sects is as much as the difference BTW Christianity and Islam.

Or as much as a Buddhist and a Sango worshippers

Very correct.

What are the important tenets of Christianity?

1) Jesus is the Son of God and must be worshipped
2) The Bible contains the Word of God
3) There is no alternative way to Heaven except through Christ.

And 99% of Christian ministries agree on this. The controversies remaining are usually centered on other things I call minor. Like prosperity preaching, tongue speaking, dress codes etc.....

While some sects believe that Jesus is the son of God others believe that he is God himself. No agreement on that.

I think this is the only thing all Christians agree to.

3) There is no alternative way to Heaven except through Christ

Many Christians disagree with this assertion. The last time, even the pope said good atheist will go to heaven.

Even the status of Jesus has not been agreed upon. While sone say he is God himself others disagree and say he us God's son alone and a distinct person from God. How salvation can be obtained still remains an issue of disagreement.

Anyone who disagrees with 1,2,3 is not a christian to begin with. I don't care what rank or position the person possesses. And no, pope Francis espoused his own opinion which is not part of the dogma of catholism. If catholism were to deny Christ as the only way to heaven then they are not christian either. Simple...

There is no difference between Son Of God and God himself. Its like saying "Segun is a son of human and Segun" is human. If you belief Christ is the son of God then you belief Christ is God himself.

Christ is a component of the Godhead, he is a distinct person from Yahweh(the father) but he is God nonetheless. I like to explain it with the example of unicellular organism. An amoeba can replicate itself into two. The two are distinct but with the same genetic code.

There is no dispute on how salvation can be obtained.

Maronite Christians vs catholics etc

Maronites are Eastern Catholics who recognize the authority of the pope, However they belong to the Maronite Rite and not the Roman Rite. So u can call them Maronite Catholics instead of Roman Catholics. One Lord One faith One baptism

The good thing with Christians is that they dont go about killing and bombing each other just because of their ideological differences like islamist do.

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).

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

Yes especially Catholics especially because of their less affiliation with Christ which some are still struggling with today. Trying to uplift Mary and the Pope as much as Christ and all....

Lol. Na only the yes you like abi. Thats a good negotiation tactics. I will like to know your tribe.

It is amusing that non-Christians, who do not understand what makes up the Church are the ones forming their uninformed opinions here. Whee did you get the idea that sects are the same as denominational churches?

funny enough that is a misrepresentation of Catholicism

Maronite are 100% Catholic, they accept all Catholic dogma and always have, they share the same faith.

actually will worship in a Maronite church the next time I go to Ibadan... they are Maronite Catholics

You only succeeded in presenting your chequered opinion which unfortunately is a misrepresentation of Catholicism.

That's because you are confusing Religion with Christianity.

Lol. Yeah I know what you are about to say. "Christianity isn't a religion. It is a way of life"

Lol. Yeah I know what you are about to say. "Christianity isn't a religion. It is a way of life"

And Religion is Still a way of Life

Do you even know the meaning of the Church?

TRUE.

To be a Christian, you must believe that Jesus died and rose from the dead bodily; and that He ascended into heaven bodily.

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)

I hear this a lot when topics like these get brought up but I can bet my left nut that none of you 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/most/all 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 and everything inbetween each categories ... 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)

Way to go!
