Over a year since I have posted anything to a thread. Past experience was interesting. So here I go back into the “marketplace”.

At least 20,000 plus Protestant denominations.

1. All claim that they do not follow “man made” teachings, only the Bible.
2. Within some Protestant denominations, King James Bible versus Revised King James Bible, which is the true Bible.
3. Majority of Protestant denominations, abortion is evil, however artificial contraception is OK.
4. Some Protestant denominations allow women and homosexuals as pastors, Bishops, etc. (I know some of you will state, the Catholic Church already allows homosexuals as priest. Save that for another thread.)
5. All state that the Roman Catholic Church is in “error”.

Now, my question. Which of the 20,000 Protestant denominations is 100% correct? Before some of you rant that I am trolling for personal information. All I want is a simple answer, i.e., Baptist, Assembly of God, Methodist.

I will know that some of you will state, “Gods Church!!!”, that is a non-answer. Almost as bad as, “I fellowship with my 2 friends in my family den, because there is no true Christian Church in my area.”

You won’t get an answer and if you do it will be:

(1) that the 20,000 number is overstated (which I agree, it is, but regardless of the accurate #, there still isn’t just ONE Protestant denomination with ONE set of beliefs); and/or

(2) the Catholic Church has 22 rites, so the RCC isn’t really just ONE church....!!! eleventy!!!!

When you explain that all 22 “rites” not “churches” agree on the same Faith vs the hundreds/thousands (whatever #) of Protestant churches who have different sets of beliefs, you get ::crickets:: . If you then challenge them to find how any one of those “rites” believe something different than another rite, they can’t come up with any facts. Again, more ::crickets::.

>>Now, my question.<<

1 Corinthians 1:11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. 12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. 13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

And still you ask the question and deny what Paul was chastising them for.

>>I will know that some of you will state, “Gods Church!!!”, that is a non-answer.<<

According to the Holy Spirit who inspired Paul to write those words to the Corinthians that IS the answer. common sense would require that scripture be taken above the words of man.

Which of the 1,000,000 ‘catholic’ sects is in any way ‘correct?’

Obviously none, as they all are founded in Babylonian lies promulgated by the pagan emperor Constantine.

The Way, on the other hand, has been found by only Yeshua’s remnant, a small and currently shrinking percentage of those claiming his saving grace but facing his rejection at the throne of judgement.

Mostly what you call ‘protestant’ is just a mild shifting of the teachings of the whore called the Roman catholic church, and so, you should be enthusiastically embracing their shortcomings, as they mimic your own.

Those observing the blasphemies called ‘Christmas,’ and ‘Easter,’ will not be numbered among the remnant at the Last Trump.
