Note: This is a personal opinion only. -------------------- In the past many churches joined together and formed the nicene creed and since then Christianity showed some form of uniqueness and common understanding of what a Christian believe. In short , a monotheistic religion that belives in a triune God , and Christ as the meditator between men and God because of the redemption of sins through the cross and the regeneration of life by the help of the Holy Spirit. But like all big families when they have sons that carry on the family name there are then multiple families. Look at the instance the tribes of Jacob, 12 in all, are they all not Abraham ' s children? Yes, yet amongst them they had so much difference. Look at the tribe of Benjamin, they are said to like a ravenous wolf [ Genesis 49:27 ] , quite seen in the life of King Saul, Queen Esther, Paul the apostle or the tribe of Judah, where men like David and Solomon are. Now , in all this manner it does not make anyon
....giving up all that inferior stuff so I could know Christ personally
