Denominations? Serious answers only please?

Mrs Lizzard asked the question:


Serious answers only please.
The Christian Religion is Fraught with so many different Denominations. While it is wonderful to be in a country in which we can worship God after our own fashion the separation of Denominations has caused a lot of friction among Christians. For example…Say a Babtist Church says they are the ONLY way and so Does the Catholic church and the methodist churh and so on and so foeth.
DO OTHER FAITHS HAVE THIS ISSUE. ARE THER”DENOMINATIONS WITHIN THE JEWISH AND ISLAM FAITH?
I was only ussing the denominations as an EXAMPLE not meaning to offend Sorry

I am thinking of going to a baptist church, but need some insight on that denomination’s belief please?

Keithikins asked the question:


A basic introduction or summary would be nice.

Thanks Yahoo! Baptists!
What Bible? Is it a born-again faith. How do they believe in the bible more than other Christians/Catholics?

I have so many questions as you can tell.

After not being involved with any church for a long time, how do you go about finding a religion and church?

acire15 asked the question:


I was born and raised catholic, but after 2nd grade, my family moved and we never really got back into church. Now, i am 26 and am looking to find some spirituality in my life. Catholisism seems a little dark. I think I’m leaning more towards a christian based religion, but how do you know which denomination to go into? methodist, assembly of god, presbyterian, lutheran, etc? do you church hop until you are comfortable? or do you research first? what do all the religions stand for? how do you find a good church?

There was only one church for 1500 years, untill the reformation, now, there are more than 20,000 denomination

mariatheresa asked the question:


If the catholic church is not the one true church started by Jesus Christ, then why did He wait 1500 yrs. to bring the true church? Or did He? Did you know every other church has for its founder a mans name, but only the catholic church can say, Jesus Christ is it’s founder. Check the history and you will know the truth.

Do the Democrats really want peace or war?

voltwriter2000 asked the question:
The Democratic controlled House in New Jersey USA has fired shots triggering WWIII. Please read the Valley Of Decision 2008, and then go to www.oceangrove.org for details…

OCEAN GROVE’S BOARDWALK PAVILION
VALLEY OF DECISION 2008

For centuries prophets and historians have convinced Mankind that the “Third World War” would be fought in The Middle East with great-invented weapons of gargantuan mass destruction. Except, current events are revealing that the “Third World War” will be spiritual in nature and fought simultaneously by all nations around the world not with weapons of incredible mass destruction, but with words of incredulous multitude.

Based on the incredulous multitude of words written in the God inspired anti-gay rights manuscript, including the insurmountable foundation for a constitutional amendment assuring the complete and inevitable annihilation of gay rights altogether “The Manmade Second Coming Of Christ Battle For The Earth” this spiritual Third World War of Good Vs Evil, as highlighted in headlines of countless daily news stories around the world that are dominated by terrorism in the name of God and gay marriage, has already started. Unfortunately, although this spiritual war has been subsistent throughout the world for telltale centuries, it is only now being identified by Ebay’s “The Manmade Second Coming Of Christ Battle For The Earth” as the Third World War.

“The Manmade Second Coming Of Christ Battle For The Earth” exclusively defines gay rights as a physiological and psychological road map for a war of self-destruction, and the spiritual valley of Ocean Grove in which God may have specified that the decisive battle to end this war take place. Inadvertently, humanity is going forth now into that valley of decision commencing in the year of our Lord thousand and seven, the time and place that I believe God has at last designated for humanity to unite and make a concrete stand against the blatant ongoing assaults on mankind by the false prophecies of terrorism in the name of God and gay rights.

Hence, it appears that the Ocean Grove Camp meeting Association’s refusal to surrender the sacred Boardwalk Pavilion to the advancement of homosexuality may be God’s decisive battle in this spiritual war of Good Vs. Evil. For under no circumstances whatsoever must the Camp meeting Association undermine God and religious faith by ever allowing any civil union to take place.
Subsequently, as per “The Manmade Second Coming Of Christ Battle For The Earth” the tenacious fight anticipated to now arise in the matter of civil unions vs. the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association taking place in New Jersey, is about to trigger the chain reaction of common sense God has unleashed with the cataclysmic verbal power to extend from state to state and culminate at the 2008 U.S. Presidential Elections, where righteousness will ultimately be decided.

As we go forth into the valley of decision “The Manmade Second Coming Of Christ Battle For The Earth” offers complete explanations as to how and why terrorists, homosexuals and other such anti-human facets of manmade manufacturing are actively attacking the phenomenon of Mankind’s faith in God with extreme obsession for control of the Earth. It also explains why, based on America’s current state of turmoil and despair, the Presidential Candidate demonstrating the closest relationship with God, the immediate answer to the Country’s problems is going to be the next U.S. President.

Which means that the candidate displaying the most courage and insight of action to recognize that this homosexual attack on the boardwalk pavilion in Ocean Grove is yet another example of religious organizations failing to unite and stand firm against the aberrations of gay rights. Divided and conquered. Religious organizations around the world are taking a horrific pounding from gay rights organizations. The candidate would question without fear of gay rights activists retaliation, why the numerous churches at least in the immediate area haven’t united in support against this gay rights attempt at advancement.

Is your church part of this?

guitar teacher asked the question:


My wife and I are going with a group from our church, to help rebuild people’s houses in New Orleans.

The Southern Baptists have set up a program, so that groups from churches all over the country can come, have a place to stay and eat. They set up the work, so any time a group can come, there is a project ready to go.

The goal is 2000 homes, and 20 churches rebuilt in 2 years.

I wonder if other denominations have similar programs? It would be interesting to see what other Christian folks are doing to invest in the lives of the people of New Orleans.
Maybe this should be for anyone. Not just Christian groups. What projects does your organization have going? Muslims? Atheists? Anybody?

So if there is only “one way”, why are there so many denominations? If they don’t disagree about.

bobkgin asked the question:


…how to get to heaven, why would they split from their mother church (whatever church that might have been for each denomination)?

Another Q for Atheists. I personally don’t believe Jesus is the literal son of God but history and science

temerson asked the question:


tell us as he did exist and hardly anyone can deny that his existence has changed the world. For better and for worse. The Crusade ranks up there with the worst events in history. On the flip side of the coin, I live in rural N.E. and I see church’s of all denominations come to the aid of those who need it, routinely. And we have all heard people credit the god of their choice after going through something unimaginable to the rest of us. My Q is this, I believe with faith itself there lies great power, corruptable power as proven so many times throughout history but also the power to do good. Do Atheist deny the intrinsic value of faith?

When Jesus said, “On this rock I will build MY church” (Mt 16:18), what church was he talking about?

Bruce asked the question:


There are now over 30,000 Christian denominations. Which one did Jesus authorize and promise, “The gates of hell will not prevail against it”? (Note: The pronoun “it” is singular.)

In your answer, please give historical evidence to link a particular church with Jesus’ promise.
