Not according to thisJas 1:25-27 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. 26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. 27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

You may even find that many do accept God's Word wholly, but do not present it in the proper way. We need the truth, but it must be given in love. The people who do get it right may associate themselves with a particular denomination, and you will find them in each camp, and some of those who are purposefully non-denominational may find that they themselves are in error concerning what they accept, what they reject, and how they go about making that decision. It's all about receiving true revelation of God's word and building our lives on that strong foundation. If we all agree with Him, how can we disagree with one another?

People the only objective format we have is Scripture and out of it come the understanding necessary for life... it is written in the wisdomPr 4:23-27 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. 24 Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee. 25 Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. 26 Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. 27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil. KJV Ps 119:105-107 105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. 106 I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments. 107 I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O Lord, according unto thy word. KJV It is fact that Christ has combined unto Himself 'The Living Word' and The Written Word by thisJn 14:6 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. KJV So you cannot cease form His established Word and His living presence as this is the path He has given us to lead us to Himself in the eternal glory of His Worship...

It is truth and even the moreJn 16:13-15 13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. KJV What amazes me is that anyone who believes we will find excuse with God when we are found in error by the willfulness of our own minds... for we have Him Who is given to deliver us from such!

Only those who build their house on the Rock as it is divinely revealed by the Spirit of Life shall weather the storm, not those who rely on fleshly interpretation of the letter.

The Bible is a very large and complex book and it's not always easy to make all the pieces fit together and not have conflicts between things.... differences show up in which parts of the Bible we each stress at the expense of other parts. Then there is the translation problems where it's really difficult to find English words that mean the same thing as the Greek, Aramaic and Hebrew writing. And from my personal view, people put different parts of the Bible together that don't belong so I can't go along with thier thoughts... Most denominations do have a core belief that holds Christianity together as a whole though..... Thank you for that Otherone, that was a great and interesting observation, I agree, with that.

I say crucify the flesh (including its interpretation) and be led of the Spirit of God, and we eliminate the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
