Do you believe in the true version of Christianity, or the false one?

Question

How can you be so sure? How come the believers that believe in the other versions of Christianity feel the same way? The Catholics (who claim to be the only true church and means of salvation), Baptist, Jesus-only Pentecostals, get rich quick charismatics, Mormons, and Jehovah witnesses can't all be right. They all claim that the others are wrong

Answer 1

Do you believe in the "true" version of Judaism or the Christian version?
.

Answer 2

According to the N.T. Christ's true church will be founded upon a foundation containing the following: Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, teachers, priests for the perfecting of the saints. And Christ being the Chief Corner stone. If there are Prophets and Apostles, there must be Revelations, (O.T. says, "where there is no vision the people parish).

If you can find such a church then you will have found the True Christian faith. I have found it. Do you want to know? Contanct me.

Answer 3

Catholicism is thee only form of Christianity closet to the actually teachings and meanings.....and even that has been severely warped over the last 1000 years. the only credit the catholic church has is that they are of the Roman Empire...the same Empire that was there during the time of Jesus and who actually killed him. The bible was written by the Romans themselves...the decedents of Jesus's killers even. So really they're the only true Christian Church b/c they lived it. The rest are just false churches with false interpretations.

Answer 4

But they can all be wrong. *wink* Besides, which is which? They're all starting to look the same to me... unless they give exact doctrine listed by their particular denomination (such as some Southern Baptists claiming that dancing leads to sex... or that only missionary style is acceptable - oh I'm going to hell for sure), they all look alike...

When are they going to go ahead and make "Republican" a denomination?

Answer 5

Does it matter if we're sure or not? Diversity is key, why can't we all just believe what we want to believe in peace? I understand what you're saying though... if there is truly only one 'correct' religion, then 99.9% of us are wrong. But, honestly, does it matter as long as we live a good, happy life and bring ourselves to understand and tolerate eachother's beliefs?

Brilliant question. Have a star.

Answer 6

The first to produce a single shred of real tangible evidence will convert me back. I left the church years ago and have accepted the fact that I will probably die an Atheist.

Answer 7

Honestly the way I decide which beliefs I go with, is based on which one follows the Bible. From what I have seen Jehovah's Witnesses seem to be following the Bible, so I am one. If I saw that we/they weren't I wouldn't be one.

Answer 8

The quality of one's "Christianity" seems exclusively dependent on the extent to which one "follows Christ", since that is what the term means.

Thus, truly "true" Christians are primarily interested in WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES (see Scriptures below).

Sadly, ostensibly "Christian" trinitarians repeatedly pretend that nontrinitarians are not Christian. Trinitarians use an artificial, trinity-specific definition of the term "Christian" which excludes anyone who does not believe that Jesus is God Himself, rather than the Son of God. Interestingly, pagans in the first century pretended that Christ's followers were Atheists(!) because the Christians had a somewhat different idea from the pagans about the nature of God.

Jehovah's Witnesses teach that no salvation occurs without Christ, that accepting Christ's sacrifice is a requirement for true worship, that every prayer must acknowledge Christ, that Christ is the King of God's Kingdom, that Christ is the head of the Christian congregation, that Christ is immortal and above every creature, even that Christ was the 'master worker' in creating the universe! Both secular dictionaries and disinterested theologians acknowledge that Jehovah's Witnesses are a Christian religion.

The Trinitarian arguments are intended to insult and demean Jehovah's Witnesses, rather than to give a Scripturally accurate understanding of the term "Christian".

In fact, the bible most closely associates being "Christian" with preaching about Christ and Christ's teachings. Review all three times the bible uses the term "Christian" and note that the context connects the term with:
"declaring the good news"
'teaching quite a crowd'
'open eyes, turn from dark to light'
"uttering sayings of truth"
"persuade"
"keep on glorifying"

(Acts 11:20-26) [The early disciples of Jesus] began talking to the Greek-speaking people, declaring the good news of the Lord Jesus... and taught quite a crowd, and it was first in Antioch that the disciples were by divine providence called Christians.

(Acts 26:17-28) [Jesus said to Paul] I am sending you, to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light and from the authority of Satan to God... Paul said: “I am not going mad, Your Excellency Festus, but I am uttering sayings of truth and of soundness of mind. ...Do you, King Agrippa, believe the Prophets? I know you believe.” But Agrippa said to Paul: “In a short time you would persuade me to become a Christian.”

(1 Peter 4:14-16) If you are being reproached for the name of Christ, you are happy... But if he suffers as a Christian, let him not feel shame, but let him keep on glorifying God in this name


So why do anti-Witnesses try to hijack the term "Christian" and hide its Scriptural implications? Because anti-Witnesses recognize that it is the preaching work that makes it clear that the relatively small religion of Jehovah's Witnesses are by far the most prominent followers of Christ:

(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded

Ha, ha, that is a loaded question. No one believes in what they think is the false one. If they thought it was false, they would change. The answer is: read the BIble and follow it to the best of your understanding and ability.
