Are you implying that most of us here on this forum are a bunch of sinners that are going to hell??? Don’t think you are the judge of that.... there is only 1 judge.

do you ever wonder why they took that and others out of the bible?
if you read it,it sounds much like a scifi story..a wild story of giants and angels.
except that hes mentioned in other places in the bible.

First I will say that I'm a Christian (just got back from church). I have made a point over the last 10 yrs. to visit a WIDE range of Christian churches (+ studied Judaism, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism a little, etc.) just to get an idea of what is the same & what is different between the various religions. I've made a point to have a discussion with the priest, reverend, pastor, etc. to ask some very direct questions about their faith after services. Here are a few things I've learned...sorry for the mistakes since I wouldn't call myself an expert.
1. Catholics were the first Christians. The Catholic church has split a few times (orthodox, kopts, etc.).
2. The big split from the Catholic church was the reformation with Martin Luther (Lutherans were the first Protestants). The Protestant church has split A BUNCH of times... Baptist, Presbyterian, Episcopalian, etc, etc, etc)
3. A Catholic priest told me that before the Catholic Bible, there were a lot of different people teaching a lot of different ways. The Catholic church wanted to come up with a unified message so that all Catholics were taught the same. It was either the Council of Trent or Vatican I (??) and the Catholic leaders looked at all the different "books"..... this one is in the Bible, that one is out of the Bible to come up with the Catholic Bible. He said that they looked at what each text had in it & decided if it "fit Biblically" with known information or was "unsubstantiated". Some books didn't make the cut. Also, other texts were written afterwards.....book of Mary, book of Judas..... the nostic texts.
4. Martin Luther split from the Catholic church because of some corrupt Popes/high-level officials. At that time, he felt that ONLY the Jews had the right to decide what was in the Old Testament (the Torah basically) & removed 9 books from the Catholic Bible to create the first Lutheran (Protestant) Bible.

ANYONE PLEASE JUMP IN AND CORRECT ME WHERE I'M WRONG.

What I've noticed as the differences between the Protestant faiths is that it seems that different denominations have selected certain parts of the Bible to emphasize a little more than others, but basically, all the denominations are the same (including Catholics).
Baptists don't drink, but Catholics do.....basically pretty close though. I know a lot of other small differences for the various denominations, but I'm drawing a blank right now.

Most all religions are selling works.If there wasn't any bad news there wouldn't be any need for the 'good bee's which is Christ.Your argument is with God's word my Moparguy59

The question has been asked before can we have a religious form. Just might be better for us than the blue room.
