Personal profile for user screen name: 34224 I decided to look into the bible and forget about all I "thought" I already knew and just let the bible speak for itself. I am using 14 different bible translations, from the old King James and Duoy versions, up to the more understandable modern day versions. Between the group, I am learning much. An injury is keeping me at home much of the time and giving me opportunity to double check on all my beliefs I grew up with. I was raised a Catholic, but have spent time in many other churches and talking with those of other beliefs.Seeing as how there were about 34,000 different Christian groups in the world since AD 30. This is according to the World Christian Encyclopedia published in 2001. 1,200 different Christian denominations exist in the United States alone. The need for another denomination, would in most cases be a different teaching. Any teaching serious enough to separate a group of any church, into it's own denomination, must be of serious importance! Both can not be teaching the truth on that subject. Or both may be wrong? That's why I have decided to discard all previous "CHURCH TEACHINGS" and see what the bible teaches. My thought is: If I remained a catholic, because I was born a Catholic, it's like showing God, I couldn't care less. But I do.
