1 | Who is Jesus? | Matt 24:28 | rosscamp@home.com | 23810 | ||
Dear Ed, you wrote: "Paul taught that if any man came teaching a different gospel he was accursed and to be rejected." I visit different Christian churches most weekends, sometimes two or three churches during both days. I have visited many dozens over the years. I have encountered diametrically opposed teachings about the Lord Christ amongst those churches, yet I assure you that not any single one of those different groups believes it possesses a "different gospel". Not any one of them, neither as individuals nor as a group express any sense of fear that they might be 'accursed' or 'rejected'. Each group remains fully persuaded that it possesses the true Gospel, and most of them demonstrate that conviction by continuing to pay their Pastors to preach to them month after month, year after year. Cordially, Ross |

Ross You also said in this thread there are 22,000 Christian denominations I don't know where you get your info but The Handbook of Denominations in the United States lists 22 major denominations with some having as many as 12 sub denominations. Example under the heading of Baptist they list American Baptist, Southern, Missionary, General, National, Northern and etc. I think the correct number you were should have used was 2,200 different denominations, to which I would probably agree but understand many hold the same truths but have merely different names. The fact remains to be an orthodox Christian church and not be considered a cult you must hold and believe in pre-defined foundational truths. EdB |
