1 | Was Mary a virgin her whole life | Matt 1:25 | Morant61 | 48436 | ||
Greetings Brian! Much is made about the number of denominations within Christianity. However, when one gets right down to it, most denominations agree on the basics. The major differences between denominations usually revolve around differences in congregational structure or minor points of theological emphasis. So, I would not say that there are 3,000-30,000 different interpretations. I would say that there are 3,000-30,000 different flavors! :-) Seriously though, the bulk of Christiandom agrees on the essentials of the faith. We are much more 'one' than people give us credit! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | Was Mary a virgin her whole life | Matt 1:25 | Brian.g | 48443 | ||
Tim Pleasure hearing from you. The minor points of theological emphasis indicates the presence of two items: A pastoral leader and a teaching authority. Which, in turn, means there are 3,000-30,000 Protestant human leaders and 3,000-30,000 Protestant teaching authorities. So, again, I will ask which one Protestant teaching authority and pastor leader is the correct one to follow. And, how do you explain the remaining wrong ones. Brian |

Greetings Brian! I think you missed my point my friend! In the vast majority of the cases, it is not a question of right or wrong, but simply one of emphasis. Is it wrong to stress spiritual gifts more than another denomination? Is it wrong to stress holiness more than another denomination? If there is anyone who is teaching something which is not in accordance with Scripture, than that person is wrong. Scripture is the final authority. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim As an example, we see numerous interpretations of Scripture here in this forum. What authority do Protestants use to insure a consistent and universal interpretation of Scripture, so that people will know they are teaching it properly. Is there one single authority for all denominations. Or does each denomination have it's own authority and then, do all denominational authorities, agree 100 percent with each other. If they don't agree - then which is right and which is wrong and by what authority is that decision being made. Brian |

Greetings Brian! Like I said, each denomination has a confession of belief. The confessions of most protestant denominations are virtutally identical. The ultimate soure of right and wrong is the Bible. I've got to run to work! See ya! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
