I have heard of catholics,baptists,mormans,jahova witnesses and many many more forms of it and most of them claim that they are right and others are wrong so if others are wrong and only one religion is right who is the true body of Christ?

I suggest you read Christian apologetics of each type and see for yourself, asking the Holy Spirit to lead you.
The Jewish people were God's chosen ones, but their Temple came down when Jesus died.
There was only "one holy Catholic and apostolic" Christian church for the first 1500 years after Jesus, to give you a hint. ;-) Catholic means universal (Rome still leads the largest world Church), while over 30,000 denominations broke away and can't agree amongst themselves what should be doctrine. Catholics are the only ones to take Jesus' words re:sharing His Body and Blood literally. Check out the loaves and fishes in the Gospel of John too.
Best wishes. :-)

We are all wrong but trying. Jesus had 12 disciples. through out the gospel witness they goofed up. When Jesus rose they were all that was left. They were human and made mistakes. Some felt called to reach out to the gentiles others felt the call was soley for the Israelites. Some said everything is to be to Israelite traditions wiht the addition of communion and foot washing. OThers said no everything must be different. Thus the first diversity occurred and Christians continue to be more and more diverse everyday.
Jesus transends a book of rules to be followed or a set of rituals to be performend. Following Jesus is a way of thinking, loving and living. Cultures varry around the world so practices among Christians varry. What is the same is Christians based it all in love, grace, mercy and forgiveness.
In some denominations it is hard to find on the surface but when you look inside that is what it is all about.
None of us have it right but we are trying.

That is a good question. No one is right. The only way to Heaven is to accept Jesus Christ into your heart and ask him to forgive your sins. God himself seperated man on the planet, and is the reason there are so many different languages and Religions

There are many man made church organizations. To be a Christian you must believe and trust in what the Lord Jesus Christ did on the cross. He died for your sins, He was buried and took your sins away and He rose again the third day for your justification. Men may say their way of doing things is the only way but it is always what saith the scripture and we are to study to show our self approved of God. 1 Corinthians 15: 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 1 Corinthians 15: 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Romans 4: 25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. 2 Timothy 2: 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

No religion is right because they are all made up scams.
There are different sects of christianity because more people wanted to get in on scamming the gullible sheep without having to pay a cut to the Catholic Church. All the bloodsuckers wanted in on the scam.

Nobody is right. There are so many forms of Chirstianity because religions are mostly derived from somebody (i.e. Roman Empire w/ Catholism) seeking money and power.

There are many religions around the world and I believe that is why we have so many wars. As far as the one true religion, my belief is right there in the Bible. I feel that you have to accept Jesus Christ as your savior and let Him into your life. That to me is the true basis of religion.

The second comming and return of Christ is Baha'u'llah, when Jesus said he would return he mean't that the Revelation of God would return (aka another religion) to bring paradise at the then appropriate time fitted to the social laws of our time hin history.

Because not everyone that claims to be a Christian is one.
A Christian is one who believes that Jesus died for their sins, died and rose again and that that is the only way that they can be forgiven.
