Guest man Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Lets look at this from a different perspective. How far does a denomination have to stray before you would consider it too far? Any discrepancy in the truth is too far. your truth? I'm not the author of the Word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that every one of us has a different understanding of the truth to some degree. Yes we are not the author of the Word, but more than often we believe "our" truth to be superior, or more correct to "others" truth. Hence denomination and doctrine....

Right I agree. In addition MOST denominations claim that is what they are doing! I have never met a strong member of any denomination who says well no my denomination intentionally goes a way from the way Christ's Church was in the bible. I personally think that all who have true faith in Christ are part of His Church, some are wrong about some things and some are closer to the Truth. How could it be though that a person could not find one single group of Christians with whom they can worship with? That says more about the individual Christian than it does the Churches.
