I know we are all fallible, but all the christians I see either teach damnable heresies, false prophecies, or they add words to the bible. All of these things are against the bible. Either they are ignorant because of the flesh or they do this on purpose. Is there any denomination that does not do this?

First of all I have not figured out how to pick sheep from wolves without judging, not sure that it is possible. Not sure how to decide who is actually speaking the true bible or who is adding words. Is teaching hell not a damnable heresy? I know no one is perfect I merely want to know who are just smart wolves and who are just fallible sheep.

Matthew 24:
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man DECEIVE you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall DECEIVE many.
10 And then shall many be OFFENDED, and shall BETRAY one another, and shall HATE one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall DECEIVE many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise FALSE Christs, and FALSE prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall DECEIVE the very elect.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; GO NOT forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; BELIEVE IT NOT.
Revelations 20:10 And the devil that DECEIVED them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

you have fallen for anti-Catholic propaganda. The Catholic Church in no way banned the Bible from human beings. The Catholic Church did no longer have issues translating the Bible to uncomplicated languages - that they had problems with translations that have been undesirable and contained heresy. whilst translating the Bible, human beings have been waiting to slide of their very own bias and heresy - it somewhat is the subject the Catholic Church had. As for the Bible - this is the inerrant notice of God, written by adult males inspired by the Holy Spirit. because of the fact the Bible is an inanimate merchandise it can't be "infallible" (no longer able to coach blunders). this is inerrant - each and every thing asserted as real interior the Bible is declared by the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit does not lie or make blunders. The undertaking is provided in determining what the Holy Spirit is protecting as real - that's why sola scriptura is taken into consideration one of these undesirable doctrine. devoid of the magisterium (coaching authority of the church) and Sacred custom, we can't be useful shall we precise understand the bible. i like the example Mark Shea provides in his article "what's Sacred custom". The Bible is sufficient - yet there's a distinction between fabric sufficiency and formal sufficiency. "what's the version between fabric and formal sufficiency? this is the version between having a huge sufficient pile of bricks to construct a house and having a house of bricks. Catholic coaching says written Sacred custom (regular as Scripture) is materially sufficient: each and all of the bricks had to construct its doctrines are there in Scripture. yet because of the fact some issues in Scripture are implicit fairly than specific, different stuff besides Scripture has been surpassed down from the apostles. This different stuff is unwritten Sacred custom (that's the mortar that holds the bricks of the written custom at the same time interior the best order and place) and the Magisterium or coaching authority of the Church (that's the trowel interior the hand of the grasp Builder). Taken at the same time, those 3 issues are formally sufficient for understanding the printed reality of God."

Don't look to man for perfection, keep your eye on Christ. One cannot say there is a particular denomination that is free of all such things. There is no perfect church since we are all different in so many ways, we should be able to agree on the main issues (doctrines) but that is about the limit. When you find the perfect church don't join as you will spoil it (words often quoted). Search out a bible believing teaching church and join in using Christ as your example and give it your best shot. If in the US I would recommend searching out a "Calvary " church, first started by Chuck Smith. Cheers mate!

every religion should. I am of the Christian persuasion and I don't believe I'm like that in any way. I never want to be labeled as negative, damnable, or unintelligible in my faith. Its just the idiots out there that ruin it for everyone else.

Precisely which Christians have you seen? What heresies, false prophecies etc do they preach? True Christians look to the word of God, not the words and traditions of man, maybe you ought to meet some of them.

The Roman Catholic Church.
They have a centuries old tradition of pointing out heresies such as Jansenism, Manachaeism, gnosticism, etc. Not only to they refrain from adding words to the bible, they have the original version of the bible, before Martin Luther changed it by removing books in it which he didn't like.

It's "Are there any Christians..." not "is there any Christians..." and aren't you generalizing a bit. My guess if you think this that you really don't socialize with many Christians. Most I know try hard to live a life that would honor God, but we also know we are all fallliable, we all sin.

Well, as long as people quote from books rather than from the Word of God (AV1611), they will always be adding or deleting from the Bible.
