Well, that comes down to interpretation of the Bible. With each person interpreting it for themselves, you will have many different views. What all the differences are, well that would have to be a totally new discussion.

i.e Christian Fellowship, Anglican, Roman Catholic, Activist, etc.

thats a tuff one I think i will let some one else go into that one deeper. I think and i may be wrong that some that think alike just get together and start there own fellowship then before you know it they have a church.

I personally am born again spirit filled I speak in togues and lay hands on the sick...so churches dont believe in speaking in togues but because I do it I cant very well say I dont believe in it.

here is a site that compares christianity with other religions you may find something there just click on it good luck and God bless

You have to have unconditional love for god. You need to know that no matter what he will always love you and what he is doing is best for you.

Duke you're a wise man... Tackling that one could take a lifetime and then not be finished. Suffice it to say "Let every man work out his own Salvation, with fear and trembling. (Emphasis added mine)

maybe because of man's eartly desire to lead and man's pride that he knows better that the other makes them build church of their own based on their own belief and understanding of what they think they know... but basically, as long as you know you're worshipping God and praise Him and honor His works, we're on the same page...

The churches differ by ways of rituals, and beliefs...

some do not Honor Virgin Mary and focuses on God alone or Jesus. Some do not honor the Holy Spirit...

I am a catholic and I, personally,honor the Blessed Virgin Mary, because for me, without the mother, how can a son be conceived, and if God had chosen Mary to be Christ's mother, who am i not to honor her... This has been my belief from the time i learned how to read and write, but if others do not agree with me, i DO NOT INTEND TO DEBATE.


Thanks and God Bless

Comments on this post
Marily disagrees: God only used Mary's womb to bring forth Jesus, Christ is a supernatural being and Mary was only a human being, there is a big difference between the natural and the supernatural, God doesn't have a mother He is the self existing one, remember? Also
alkalineangel agrees: balance to the above disagree...that is opinion...

if you're not a catholic or a christian then please, try not to say anything that misjudge others.

Catholicism's main goal is to be GOD-like, meaning we are HUMANS and we sin too just like others, but for us not to commit MORE sins and not to JUDGE others for the things that they do. and not to carry grudge and LEARN to forgive, LEARNING IS A PROCESS.

Just like any other, We, too were born sinners, and it is only in our journey as christians that we LEARN to forgive, because we're not gifted with the kind heart to forgive instantaneously... But why should we learn to forgive? because Jesus should be in the heart, and if the heart is filled with anger, how do you think HE can fit in?

If others do not agree, i mean no disrespect. KNOWLEDGE is God's gift, if others have different point of view, by all means, i respect them. Because we're given also the FREEDOM to choose.

May the Holy Spirit be your guide in all the thing that you say and do.

God be the glory!

I have a friend who goes to church when she wakes up on time, has 3 children with a married man, tells me that jesus will forgive all sins (Murder, child molester, thief, etc). But preaches to me about not having gay friends because they are the devil, also should give 10% of my income to her church ( I am a single mother of 3 trying to pay bills). Is this what being christian is all about? ( should of started a new question I know)

Comments on this post
alkalineangel agrees: no...give what you can, if you can is what I was taught. Jesus loved the poor woman who gave only her two cents. Your gift to God will be raising your children in the best way you can to be kind and good people.
