Their extra book is as wrong as every other extra book, but their hearts are in the right place and they do good service.
It may be even more unpopular, but so do the Jehovah’s Witnesses.
I never understood that mindset in the Catholic religion, and offshoots , Baptist, Protestant, etc. They knock each other like enemies. It's ridiculous. Everyone believes that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior. Nobody asked them to all start holding joint services but no need to bash each other. The important part is agreed upon by all. Uniting in Christ would spread so much more love and light in the world. Off the soapbox, sorry for the rant.
That’s pretty much the reason I’ve been going after denominationalism.
It’s one thing to have a different outlook on things, and there can even be error in how the scriptures are interpreted (within reason), but ONE BODY, people!
Philippians 2:12 So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Mormons are arguably a completely different religion, and I’m still inclined to shrug and mumble, “close enough.” They’re definitely doing at least some of it right.
Nobody is going to hit the path perfectly, but there’s an awful lot of room for unity. Just try to not step on toes and find peace where possible, so long as disagreements don’t slide into worldly evil - like trying to normalize sodomy and pedophilia as an effort to “love” those sinners. Sorry, NO. (that means you, “Methodists”)
Double soapbox closed.
Thanks for the awesome response!!!
But but but dancing is evil!!!
In all seriousness at least it is fun to look at the denominations and all their flaws from a 5d vantage point
This is going to get me downvoted, but I don't care.
I've been all around the world and I'm going to make a controversial statement: all religions are the same. Not just Christians. (Yes, even the Muslims. It's the leaders of large organizations that distort it, and Christian sects aren't above this failing either.). Many of the most pious, generous and spiritual people I know are Buddhist.
You make light of the peculiar belief that dancing is evil, yet there are also those here who would belittle someone simply because they don't believe Jesus was more special than the Buddha. If that triggers you because it runs counter to your belief, consider that those who believe dancing is evil are triggered in exactly the same way.
Ultimately, religion is merely a tool, and any religion that helps you treat others as you would like to be treated, and honors your relationship with God, is all that is required. Everything else is just cultural differences, and those should be celebrated rather than condemned.
No one system is better than any other. It's about whatever works for you. If we all simply act out of love for God and one another, religion is irrelevant.
You can’t be united if you don’t agree on who God is, and the groups you name have mutually incompatible teachings. Time for a church history dig, you may be surprised at what you find and which of the same enemies we’re fighting together here pop up over the last 2000 years of history. —Orthodox Christian anon
This is the way.
Gotta call out the clowns entertaining the goats, and the wolves in sheep’s clothing waiting to devour.
Fair enough. After reading it myself, I found it testifies of Jesus Christ & speaks about "Secret Combinations" as an evil that over runs governments as a pact with the Devil IIRC.
Oddly I haven't found that anywhere else as a warning, and the other time I saw that phrase was the FBI lovers (Page & Strozk) where Lisa asks Peter if they were forming their own little secret combination.
I also have heard from native American tribes that they are descendants of tribes claimed in his book, though this should not be confused with all Native tribes.
Ultimately I encourage every single person to simply follow Jesus Christ to the best of the ability & to allow God to sort it out in the end.
Merry Christmas friend & I hope this next year treats you & your family well.
