Not necessary, it's the doctrine of your belief. Because all churches say the follow the Bible, yet they are all different, it's the interpretation of the bible which means your church doctrine. Just as an example of predestination...both kinds of Scriptures pro and con can be found in the bible. Also Baptism of infants or is it only as adults? Which day to worship.....etc.
I interpret scriptures correctly. Like I said there is only ONE way to interpret scriptures when it comes to doctrine. I've interpreted them correctly. What do you mean which day to worship. People worship everyday.
Adults or a little older than a newborn because baptism is a conscience descision made between you and the lord. Someone so young cannot be baptized and realize the significance of what they're doing. Baptism isn't a small thing to be tooken lightly.
Instead we dedicate babies to the Lord when they are newborn.

So, what is your stance on predestination?...This is a biggy. And so speaking in the spirit, is that a proof of your salvation, just curious.....I also know about dedications of babies, which is similar to bring the child into gods covenate, so truly it is much the same, only one is being done with water.
I interpret scriptures correctly. .
How do you know for possitive sure, that you're church isn't the false church.?

I sense that this thread may get ugly. If we start talking about which church is right there will likely be hard feelings. That's why I've tried to stick to just that a single church can be right.
It's worse than that, if you say that all the churches are true, there will likely be hard feelings as well.
Christians? 🙄 you can't please them.

*sigh* I really dont feel like answering all those questions so im just gonna say that i've studied different forms of Christianity heard the debates proven them wrong with the word of God. Since it wasn't that hard I know my form of Christianity is the correct one. For this I would bet my life on.
Your underminding the water in baptism.

😆 You just proved Deb right. 😆
I more than likely won't be back to debate the topic, but there can only be one truth. If I told a non fictional story about whatever and it was the truth, that is where the discussion ends. There can only be one truth, not different versions of it, or it becomes hearsay. I have read the Bible on occasion and found that everything that I have read was true... what I mean by saying this is, when the Bible refers to the way people react to one another, I could not contest it, because it was right on the money. Some people believe in Allah, some believe in Jesus, others in Buhdah the list goes on, but still there can be only one truth. If you were to research the word Allah, you will find that it literally means god. I would like to show you something that dawned on me several years ago. I'll tell you what all of the words that I'm about to type have in common: God, Man, Father, Priest, Woman, Son, Holy Spirit, Allah, Doctor.... have you guessed yet? Well they are titles, none of them are names.
Hence if you were in a crowded room and someone shouted, Hey Man/Woman, I guarantee that the first thing that would enter your mind would be to ask yourself if they were calling you. Like I said there is only one truth. The Name Emmanuel litterally means God with us... do your self a favor, and research the word Christ, see what you come up with... here's another word to look up, Tetragrammaton... if you are wise you will find your answers.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The Word became flesh, and dwelt amongst us, and we knew him not.
Again I more than likely won't be back to debate this issue.
Originally posted by CaptainStoicwhile i like that you put thought into your article,it sounds like you based it entirely on your own view. What your saying is everything the bible says is true about humanity,that's an opinion for one. Remember that the bible is a collection of the minds of many people,so it's going to have a lot of good stories and morals that we can connect to.Second,don't you think that every single religious person in the whole world can "connect" their religion to the real world? Once again that's purely viewpoint. And about the whole God thing,do you think that just because the Christian god has the least inventive name he must be the true one? Once again just sounds more like a rationalization than actual proof

I think the main thing he was pointing out was that it doesn't matter how many "opinions" exist on a particular subject. If it's factual in nature (like the nature of deity) there can be only one truth. Many points of view perhaps, but still only one truth.
I've heard it said that truth is like a multifaceted gem. One person can look at it and see one facet, another would see a different facet. The question is what is the truth? what the people saw or the entire gem?
I also liked shaky's story about the elephant, I think that was in this thread. But again, it's the elephant that represents the truth, not the perceptions of those who examined it.

can any single religion be the true religion, i mean they have no evidence that the others are wrong, especially when they don't have any real proof that they are right.
