I've read many posts saying what "Christians" believe and don't believe, most of them by protestants in an attempt to sayn that Catholic teachings are un-Christian. My questions is: How can less then 20% of ALL Christians have the nerve to say what Christians believe? Here are some simple facts:
The total number of Christians in the world is: 2.1 billion. This is how it breaks down:
1) Catholics: 1.3 billion
2) Eastern Orthodox: 0.4 billion
3) Protestansts (Baptists, Lutherans, etc. etc): 0.4 billion
In light of these statistics, how can a group that represents less than 20% percent of Christians say what Christians believe? And, more than that, among themselves they argue endlessly because that small group is divided into hundreds of "denominations" who all disagree on doctrines. Yet they claim that the Holy Spirit guides them when they read the Scriptures. The arrogance is stupifying. I really would like to hear someone try to answer this question.
