Which Version?

[sky]

Experts estimate there are around 30,000 versions of Christianity, which one is the correct one...

Could it be because we are each seeking our own path to God, and our own paths vary because we vary, or could it be ' Evolution ' which produces variations.

Are Religions an evolutionary adaptation which would help in keeping groups/tribes together ?.....

Many versions of Bibles, but one Holy Spirit. I say, lets get the product from the source mate!

Then we need to go back to what it means to be a Christian. A Christian without the Holy Spirit is like Australia without the barbie... mate!

Seems there's no ' Universal ' definition to what a Christian is.... Hence an estimated 30.000 denominations.

How many other Christians do you know who do not believe in the Holy Spirit?

Every other Christian that I have ever met except you believe in the Holy Spirit.

I believe a Christian is a follower of The Christ.

The Christ is found in ones heart. A merging or anointing happens
and this is done by and through the Holy Spirit of God.
This is done to train one in the God/Christ Heart and God/Christ Mind

But there are those that fill a pew, sing a song and go home and kick the dog.
They to call themselves Christian.

Which is why I posted about authentic Christianity, involving doctrine and dogma.

People can (and do) call themselves anything they wish.
But, adherence to the essential tenets of doctrine, is what authenticates.

History mentions that the first King James Bible containing the New Testament is the closest to the Sacred Texts .If you study Biblically with any other text make certain you include the King James for your reference.It seems the Bible reveals the shallow become more shallow after reading it and the deeply sincere become increasingly resolute.The majority of the earth's population have only scant amounts of time to devote to its study yet a constant study provides answers through discernment that Christ's Angel mentioned during His talk with John while receiving the jist of "Revelations".It's in there especially why some Roman Catholics define themselves being the one true Apostolic Church.No rivalry yet distinct components of adherence that make the Clergy unique at least the innocent ones.I've studied since 2001 especially intensely from 2001 -2009 and the revelations that were harvested are vast and that includes seemingly suspect inconsistencies that actually reveal the truth of the Apostles' stories.God brilliant of course but can do nothing mutually without the hearts and minds and souls of the true believers.You want the truth you'll find it there yet along the way the fickle surely attempt to distract .Persevere with God and Trinity's wisdom and you'll be a source who knows some things yet sharing them is not so presumed.Many are fickle and fragment through egoism and worldly fear.Perhaps relatively soon the original texts will be found at least via the Ark's Covenant which would involve only the Pentateuch yet that alone would reveal the quote un quote modern world that has some constituents who are threatened with some of God's Levitican Laws causing them to become more anti thetic to the Creator Himself and the Lord and Trinity.The only shot they had was and is Christ whose Ministry included mentioned forgiveness and its amazing that the 21st. Century unequivocably has contorted itself enough that His exact attributed words apply to things that have only recently happened and no one can deny it.Whether these things are the actual"Mark of the Beast" is a very good contemplation and if the answers "yes" than if it occurs "Armageddon's evil component includes you know who and the culture group is becoming increasingly bitter towards the Trinity.Heh I had a coincidental thing happen once-I had a presumed Pirated cassette stolen that had the numbers 1 2 3 printed on it and some suggest it ended up at a Company who I during a biographized account called part of the company's name Sky.Merely a coincidence of course yet wo- though the coincidence could be helping me know where to find some of my originals or just more Piracy mentalities.Great wishes with your Christian research and wo what a coincidence.Take care and God bless the blessed!Absolutely no twisted parallels!Absolutely straight forward!Gary V.
