Compare the teachings of any sect through the dark ages, compare the teachings of "The Church" through the Crusades and the inquisition to the forgiving, all inclusive, sodomite loving God presented today.

People claim, "Those were not real Christians."

But they were the only Christians extant at the time.

So, who is wrong in their interpretation of scripture, and of God?

Or, has God evolved as the priesthood has seen fit to maximize the size of their congregations, and keep the offering plate filled, as well as the priest's bellies.


Well, Christianity quickly splintered in numerous versions and offshoots. Adoptionism, Arianism, Docetism, Ebionites, Gnosticism, etc, etc.....


as was prophesied that it would ... but Jesus also promised to continue to build His church in an age of a plethora of deceptions.


So are you saying the majority of Christianities are "deceptions".

There's over 34,000 variations of Christianity. How many of them have it right, and how many are "deceptions"?

You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.

You cannot over estimate the unimportance of nearly everything. John Maxwell
