With so many denominations of Christianity the question Must arise, How does your Christianity differ from the other 49,999 other denominations of the Christian RELIGION. How does a Calvary chapel differ from the west borough Baptist church, or a Pentecostal church from a Mormon? They all claim to be Christian denominations, with so many variations with so many similarities how can you be 100 percent sure. Followers of Jesus (The Anti Christ) span the globe. But the global body of more than 2 billion Christians is separated into thousands of denominations. Pentecostal, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Baptist, Apostolic, Methodist — the list goes on, even nondenominational (a general name for a category) has to be included the only difference is they don't choose a name. Estimations show there are more than 200 Christian denominations in the U.S. and a staggering 50,000 globally. So why does Christianity have so many branches? The estimated number of church buildings accommodating Christian congregations is approximately 37 million, That’s one for every 65 people. There are currently between 2.3 and 2.5 billion Christians in the world, about a third of the total global population, This does not seem to be much of a narrow path now does it. The word Catholic most probably don't even know that it means universal such as Christianity. It is actually Roman Christianity. Universal: of, relating to, or forming the ancient undivided Christian church or a church claiming historical continuity from it. The most dangerous lie Christianity will tell you is this: “Becoming a Christian makes you a good person.” Here’s the thing. For all their talk of the “narrow gate” to heaven, for many denominations getting saved is actually the easiest, quickest thing in the world. The more rigorous demands require you to walk up an aisle, perhaps get sprinkled with water. More lenient denominations make it as easy as repeating the Sinner’s Prayer in the comfort of your own home. Easier than ordering Postmates, doing a load of laundry, or taking the dog for a walk. And then… what happens next? Many converts to Christianity claim that they have a mystical experience, a supernatural change of heart, and hey presto! they become good people. Not perfect people, perhaps, but “good.” Good on some real, metaphysical level. They have been saved, cleansed, forgiven. Their old sins no longer count against them, and as long as they remain Christian, their next sins are equally expunged. That we accept this declaration with any kind of credulousness is astonishing to me. If any nonreligious group claimed that their members experienced a fundamental change in their makeup by intoning a few key phrases, it would be considered laughable. That’s the stuff Harry Potter magic is made of — someone waving a wand and yelling “Accio morality!” would be laughed out of the room. And yet the saving grace of asking Jesus into your heart is treated as — pardon the pun — gospel truth.
You may ask: “But if someone wants to believe they are a good person, why dunk on them? Isn’t it a net positive if someone feels they have access to moral guidance?” Well, no, not really, for one simple reason: people don’t change who they are in a single instant, no matter what magic words you say. And even if this were possible, there is no real test, no qualifications, no vetting that determines who really is saved. The door is literally wide open to anyone who walks through. If someone tells you they are a Christian, you are supposed to believe they are a good person until they prove otherwise.
Suddenly, you have people who honestly believe they are “transformed” doing horrible things in the name of God. Or worse, people who are actively using their Christianity as a shield from judgement to perpetrate crimes or immoral actions. And because those in their community believe they are “good,” they go along with it or turn a blind eye. That’s how every bloody crusade since the dawn of time has been justified. They have all been done in the nae of Christianity, that enough should be enough to get you out of there, but humans are to stupid. The only response other Christians offer when faced with news of yet another sexually perverse, exploitative, or downright violent believer is: “Well, they obviously aren’t a true Christian.” But that’s precisely the problem. There is no way to know the “true” Christians from the “not-true” Christians. In other words, Christians are magically transformed in ways that others are not. They said the right words and go to church on Sundays, Will you be able to differentiate between a “true” Christian who is trying their best to overcome personal demons and a “not-true” Christian who is abusing you under the cover of faith? We have no way of knowing! All we know is that they’re better than those intrinsically lesser non-believers without moral compasses or the ability to experience ultimate love. Why? Because they said the magic words and we believe them.
Good luck with that.
If you want to be a follower of Jesus the false Messiah, then fine. Do that, take his example and feed the poor, love your neighbor, tend to the sick, that would at least be better for you then fairy dust. But stop assuming that recited words or sprinkled water or a slog down a church aisle somehow magically changes a person’s innermost self. It doesn’t, and that assumption is actively hurting other Humans every single day. We were given instructions to follow the example of Christ and follow him. Yasha Christ followed the Law and he said his words were not his but the fathers words. The entire Christian religion is nothing but a ploy by the great evil one satan to wreak havoc on every human civilization on earth until the end of time..
