I was watching YouTube the other night and noticed that there are several videos devoted to the bashing of different Christian religions. there are over 20,000 different Christian churches around the world, all claiming to be the one way to get you to heaven. For one to bash the other is a waste of time and money. If fact to do so in handouts, mailings or on paid for TV and Radio time is a waste of God's resources. We should remember that 97% of all Christians are members of the Roman Catholic Church, and that the other 20,000 churches divide up the other three percent. It is some of the groups that try to make the claims that they are right and all others are wrong. Some of these groups make such a loud noise that they would lead you to believe that it is somehow the majority belief of all Christians. When if fact they are just the loudest. These groups use donated monies earmarked for helping others to bash other churches instead of doing God's work.
I do not give to any group that is anti anything. I want to know what they are for, what they are preaching, and if they are teaching their followers to love one another as the Father loves them.
Thee are five beliefs that separate Christians from the pretenders: 1. You must believe that the same God that created the Heavens and the Earths and all that are in and on them, came to this earth through as virgin and became man. 2. That this man established his church and taught his chosen leaders for three years. 3. Then took upon him all the sins of mankind and carried them to the cross and died so we might one day live with him. 4. That he rose on the third day, fulfilling prophesy of the Old Testament. and 5. That he returned to his father with the promise to return again to retrieve his followers.
For those in the 20,000 plus churches that believe and teach the aforementioned five things; and for those persons who believe in Christ, repent, are baptized, and receive the Holy Ghost will have a glory prepared for them as Paul promised in Corinthians.
Being anti-Catholic, anti-Mormon, anti-baptist, anti-everyone but your group is counter-productive and a misuse of God's money. Christ prayed that we would love each other as He and the Father loved each other, being one in the faith, lets try to do better and find common ground in our differences and reach for unity and not division.
