Who among religious denominations?

Question

Question to readers: (1) who among the religious organizations of this world has tried to conform their teachings--even correcting erroneous ones--according to the Bible? (2) who among religious organizations in the world today have brought together peoples of different races, nationalites and cultures, and united them in worshipping Yahweh ( Jehovah) ? (3) who among religious organizations can truly be said to conform to the 2 greatest commandments--love God and love your neighbor?

Specifically, I am looking for one who: (1) corrects their teachings if not in accord with the Bible, (2) is truly an international brotherhood, no racist attitude, and woships only one true God, not triads or multiple gods (3) shows love for God and neighbor by forsaking wars, and have taught people to hope in the coming kingdom of God?

Answer 1

Jehovah's Witnesses have the true religion. They are Christian (of course), but they are unique for their rejection of paganisms, use of God's personal name, and global preaching by every active adherent. No other religious organization can claim such purity of worship.

These facts about Jehovah's Witnesses are perhaps relevant to this question. The more one compares this Christian religion with others, the more remarkable it is shown to be.

1. Jehovah's Witnesses have no paid clergy. Yet they remain tightly organized with more than 6.5 million active Jehovah's Witness preachers (about 16 million associate themselves with the religion). Even fulltime preachers and workers at their branch offices are unpaid volunteers.

2. There is no elite class among Jehovah's Witnesses. Even the few 'anointed' among them enjoy no special privileges in their congregations on earth. An anointed person (one of those relative few with a heavenly hope) is not elevated above his fellow congregants in any way, and he may not even qualify for appointment as a simple 'deacon' or elder. There are no titles; EVERYONE is addressed as 'brother' or 'sister'.

3. No person benefits economically from the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses. Even the 8 to 20 men who serve on their Governing Body receive simply room, board, medical care, and reimbursement for certain personal expenses according to the exact same provision as every other branch volunteer.

4. About a hundred men have served on Jehovah's Witnesses' Governing Body committee during the past 125 years or so. The vast majority of them have spent the vast majority of their adult lives volunteering for their organization's purposes, and the vast majority have died faithfully and near-pennilessly while still under their legal 'vow of poverty'.

5. Amazingly, Jehovah's Witnesses did not splinter as a sect from some other religion. Instead, a truly tiny but sincere group of bible students studied only the Scriptures to determine the will of God. Thus their religion remains absolutely independent of and not carrying the sins of Christendom's history, yet carries the authority of Christ's teachings.

6. Despite the distortions of anti-Witnesses, throughout their modern history Jehovah's Witnesses have refused to claim divine inspiration or infallibility for their teachings. They have pointed to the bible (and not any particular translation) as the only inspired infallible means of knowing God's thoughts. For over 125 years, their teachings have been presented as merely the results of sincere bible research by imperfect but godly humans.

Answer 2

Well, I think this is what Christianity is supposed to be. But no person is perfect, nor is any church. I can think of specific denominations that apply to some of those, but no belief as a whole.

Although all Christian denominations forsake war, many Christians still join the military. But one group of people you won't see joining the military is Mennonites who are active in their faith. That's why they traveled en mass to Mexico from Canada during the World Wars. They don't believe in raising arms against another.

While there are many churches who should conform their teachings according to the bible - and perhaps some have in one small way or another - the most major one I can think of is the Worldwide Church of God. They changed their entire church doctrine in the '90's when they realized that they were in error. Many people (probably around half) left the church and formed new churches because they didn't want the change. There were at least 2, maybe 3 new churches formed, and taught variations of the original doctrine.

Christianity in general has the largest variety of races believing, and this is probably due in part to global evangalism. I can't think of any other religion that is so varied in race. And of course, Christianity serves one God - although I imagine you are referring to "triads" as the trinity, but this is a misunderstanding. The trinity is all one God, but different aspects of him. Just like you can be a father, a son and a brother, all at the same time. You're still one person.

Answer 3

Can you think of one person who has done all of that in their own life, let alone an entire organization? Of course there is not an organization who has accomplished all of this, but most religious denominations are trying.
1) The bible is perfectly left up to interpretation so any one passage could hold more than one meaning. teachings will vary, I do not always agree with our preacher but I have not abbandoned my religion because of it.
2) Racist attitudes come from individuals not the group, tolerance of that is another issue.
3) Many do show love for God in word, action and support, you must not be looking or noticing.
