Did Jesus come to invent a new religion or is the current denominational system an off-shoot of the Roman Catholic Religion that adopted Jesus into their religion?
Who's right, who's wrong?
Does it matter?
Well I guess the answer to these probing questions depends on what you believe about your Jesus. If you think in denominational terms and have misplaced loyalty to a denomination. Then chances are; you are a religious person pushing your party's mandate blindly and unquestionable.
The fact is that Jesus was irreligious he was vehemently against the religious system of His time and let those practicing it know in no uncertain terms that He disapproved. We are here to demonstrate God's love and without unity it will never happen. I'll say that again loudly.
WE ARE HERE TO DEMONSTRATE GOD'S LOVE AND WITHOUT UNITY IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN...
"Denominational Divergence" is sin and a stumbling block for the would be believer as Jesus said about the religious leaders of his time, I repeat now to those that push religion over truth;
"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.
"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are.
"Woe to you, blind guides! You say, 'If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.'
You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred?
You also say, 'If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gift on it, he is bound by his oath.'
You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred?
Therefore, he who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.
And he who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells in it.
And he who swears by heaven swears by God's throne and by the one who sits on it.
May...The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
