Christians argue amongst ourselves as to what denomination is right. Our church is better than theirs,etc., mentality. Division on scripture. Division on what is the truth. Why did God create a people to follow him, yet have so much confusion on the truth??

On Jesus Christ and Him crucified - there is no dispute, there is no confusion - there is only truth.

Yes we all do get tired sometimes. But this tiredness comes , because we failed to spend quiet time with Our Father.
Our cup needs to be filled each time. And if we are busy trying to learn and find truth but not spend the quality time we need with Our Father, we get exhausted .

We also have to accept that everyone is different. And let it be that way. We are not here to change people. Our duty is to guide, and then the rest is up to God.

Some people go only by how they interpret the Bible, and do not ask the Holy Spirit to guide them into understanding, before reading the Bible, each time.

Please understand, that just as sure as God exsists, so does satan. And he will use every opportunity he has to try and destroy our minds.
Hence when a Christian opens the bible, he (satan) will do everything he can, to make sure that we missunderstand the bible and fill us with confussion, so much so , we are exhausted by the end of it.

But when we pray and ask Jesus to make sure that the Holy Spirit is guiding us through our reading, there is no chance satan could convince us otherwise.

Only when we ask, can God help. If we dont ask, He will not push and force help upon us.

And then , once we get to know the truth, what others insists upon, suddenly would not matter anymore. All we would do is look at God and say,'Oh Father, its so sad how they are talking nonsense, please help them understand what You have helped me understand', and so on

Quiet time , time out ....with our Father, rejuvenates our mind and spirit. Dont miss it

There is only one truth, though man makes it a confusing thing. It does not matter which religion you are a part of or which church you go to. It does not matter if you are part of any religion or not. What matters is what you think and do!
If you practice loving each other as yourself and live that way in every moment then you will see and know the simple truth.
We must think and act in accordance with this, now it is not easy, it takes work and effort but it is worth it.

Love God, Love Others, Love Yourself

Once upon a time, in a town very much like your own, the city elders erected a sign that read "No Parking After 2 inch Snow fall". The people of the town gathered to try to figure out what was meant by this. "It is a suggestion - the city elders are trying to spare us, buecause it becomes so difficult to park after 2" of snow"... It is a command. We are not to park after it snows 2"... They divided further between the accumulationists and non-accumulationists - the former saying that even if it snows one inch one day and another inch another day, we are not to park. Then there were those who created the doctrine of original snow - saying that since the very first time it ever snowed two inches, we have all been without parking... One rather intelligent man stood up to say that the word after can also mean "in the manner of" and therefore what the city elders were tellig us is that we are not to park our cars in the manner of a two inch snowfall. We can't just drop our cars into their parking places we must carefully drive into them... still another said that the city elders were surely wanting to be relevant with the times. And of course snow is another word for cocain - so we are not to park our cars where there is a 2" package of cocain... another person raised their voice saying, it doesn't say where... so this surely means that we are not being permitted to park our cars anywhere after it snows 2" - not at home, work, school... this doctrine was later called "the snow-boundlessness of man"... still another protested that it nowhere says anything about cars - so that would include boats, trucks and even out own behinds... and they were further divided... and divided .... and divided...

If they are arguing over which denomination is right, then both sides have proven themselves to be wrong.

It is Scripture that is right. What is wrong are the interpretations and understandings of individuals or organizations.

If you want to know "the truth" then study for yourself. Don't rely on what other people say. Prove all things.

i'm a Pagan and a Wiccan. i'm additionally a minister and a former Christian. My clarification for leaving is amazingly with regard to the problems I see with the Christian faith. I see that Christianity is consistent with a set of books that have been chosen in a fashion which isn't with out a minimum of an ingredient of an arbitrary nature. there became plenty written approximately Christ that became no longer blanketed interior the canon of scripture and it variety of feels that what became chosen became chosen to enhance a particular set of ideals; people who held option ideals have been dealt with truly harshly in cases previous. on a similar time as the severity of those attitudes has replaced over the years, the attitudes themselves have not. human beings of alternative faiths are considered heretics who're preferable others off course. they are considered, at terrific, unwitting servants of the devil. Too, Christians are taught an unfalsifiable faith. Any stable which could take place is presented as information of the life of God. something which could look opposite is taught to be the two human loss of know-how or the artwork of the devil. it fairly is a equipment that defines itself and helps no contradiction. a individual claiming to have opposite information is a individual to be prevented. this would not sell wholesome severe thinking. what's even stranger is that the religion that behaves in this manner is the comparable that ridicules different religions, such as neo-paganism and Wicca as mere innovations. I understand the great value. I understand the opt to serve god and stay steadfast. what's troubling is the seeming opt to get rid of alternative faiths. on a similar time as Christians won't openly state this choose, the mere life of missionaries and evangelism makes this truly obvious. on a similar time as Wicca, maximum of Paganism and truly some different faiths strengthen by in basic terms being what they are and coaching people who particularly ask, many Christians actively pursue others. some bypass so a strategies as to bypass into unfavourable aspects with the furnish of nutrients, the fee of that's indoctrination. those comparable human beings admonish against even exciting the understanding of alternative faiths. besides, it fairly is the fast version of the story. advantages, --Dee

People have different beliefs on what the truth really is because everyone interprets the bible differently. God gave us free will to chose our religion but it is up to us to research and find out what we believe the truth is and try to spread the word.

The problem is that the Roman church killed off a lot of the truth and buried it in the vatican archives.
This has resulted in internal conflict every time a small piece of origional manuscript falls into the hand of one of the churches..!!

There isn't any. The Spirit bares witness. If you have the Spirit He teaches you about Scripture. If you don't then you start saying what you think the Bible says.
