My Sunday School teacher made this comment yesterday as we were discussing 1 Corinthians 1 - 6. He said, It's better to not believe than to be part of a wrong belief system. In a lot of the lesson he was drawing parallels between the philosphies, and polytheistic beliefs of the Greeks at the time. He also posed the question How is this relevant today? Meaning, can we learn from what happened to the early Christians and Paul having to deal with people who were trying to contaminate Christianity with teachings of "I am a student of _____(anyone other than Jesus Christ)", to include the many splinter groups of Christianity? Is it better, do you think, to be part of a group that has SOME correct principles, and SOME wrong principles, or to not be a part of any group unless they have and teach ONLY ALL the correct principles?
Please, no touting one religion over another, or atheism over everything else. Thanks.
