Well stated Cam Great job brother.

At a certain level, it's about getting over the need to be right while others are wrong about everything. I would argue that just asking the question puts a person in shaky spiritual territory. Jesus is right. The rest of us, at some level, aren't.

Luther missed that Jesus promised the gates of hades will not prevail against the Catholic Church.

@@unoriginalclips9923 Prove it

Protestants aren’t really Christians for a few reasons but here is one of them: Protestants say Mary is the mother of Jesus but not the mother of God. This is a condemned heresy that has direct trinitarian implications. If Mary is the mother of Jesus but not the mother of Jesus’ divinity then we’re talking about 2 persons - a human person Jesus and a divine person Jesus. There’s an ontological divorce rather than a unity between his divine and his human persons. Now anybody who says Mary is not the mother of God (theotokos) is a Nestorian - they believe there is no such thing as a hypostatic union. If you don’t believe in a hypostatic union then you cannot fully embrace Jesus’ role in the trinity. You believe in 4 persons not 3. All of a sudden - you are the kind of heretic that isn’t even a Christian.

I think we put too much emphasis on what Christians believe. We don't put as much emphasis on what Christians DO. So I don't see this question as "which denomination is right?" so much as "which of us are doing His will?". I don't think understanding some passages in old books isn't going to help; Christ told us to follow Him, not believe in some words attributed to Him. I don't think the sacraments are going to help either; those instruments will do little for us if we aren't doing His will. In short, it is never the Church or a church that is going to live our lives for us. We have to live them, and we have the choice to do His will or not.

This is the question I asked myself that made me look into church history and later Catholicism

Today there are so many Protestant churches because there is so much different interpretation of the Bible; there is so much different interpretation of the Bible because there is so much wrong interpretation of the Bible. And there is so much wrong interpretation because the system of interpreting it is radically wrong. You cannot have one fold and one shepherd, one faith and one baptism by letting every man and every woman distort and pervert the Scriptures to suit their own pet theories. In our day, there is no whim, fad or fancy that some one does not claim to prove from the Bible. Almost any man or woman is conceited enough to set himself up as a competent interpreter of the word of God. "I think the Bible means this, therefore it does mean this," is their modest position. These men and women want it thoroughly understood that our forefathers in the faith were all fools that for the last nineteen hundred years, the Christian world was in inky darkness. With them, however, light has come into the world. VARIOUS INSTANCES ... Some, like the early heretics, will prove from the Bible that Christ is only God and not man. Others, like modern Unitarians, will prove from the Bible that Christ is only man and not God. Some denominations will prove from the Bible that in the New Law, Christ shared his priesthood with NO ONE. Others will prove from the Bible that in the New Law, even the women are priests; hence the name Presbyters or priests, from which "Presbyterian" is derived. One sect will prove from the Bible that baptism is unnecessary for children, but is necessary for adults. Others will prove from the Bible that baptism is necessary for no one; that it is only a ceremony, an initiation such as is required when one joins a lodge. Campbellites or "First Christians" will prove from the Bible that to be really baptized, one must be totally immersed in water. Others prove from the Bible that the whole thing is unnecessary and ought to be abandoned. Russellites prove from the Bible that there is going to be a millennium, a thousand years when every one will get a second trial. Calvinists prove from the Bible that a large part of mankind do not even get a first trial, but are predestined to damnation irrespective of their merits. BIBLE IS MISTREATED Some sects prove from the Bible that eternal punishment is going to be meted out to nearly every one, but the little handful of their particular false sect is going to escape. But others prove from the Bible that everyone is going to be saved. To even murderers, adulterers, and those who rob widows and orphans-and never repent-will Christ hold out His arms and say: "Come, Blessed of My Father, and possess the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." Reduced to practice their theory means this: Read the Bible and believe as you like; if you like Martin Luther's theory, follow it; if you prefer John Calvin's Christianity, embrace it. If you think that Campbell, or Dowie, or Mrs. Eddy, or the Adventists have "discovered" the truth, have succeeded in doing what Christ must have failed to do, then take them as your guide. If the theory of none of these persons suits you, make up one yourself. RECENT FALLACIES Mrs. Eddy will prove from the Bible that man is all soul, the body is practically a delusion, and does not really exist, "Bible Students" will prove from the Bible that the soul is all delusion you really have none When you die, your soul knows not anything: the soul which God gave Adam was only air and nothing more In the Bible, we are told to serve the Lord in fear and trembling and so we have the shakers, the mourners and the weepers. Again in the Bible, we are told to rejoice in the Lord always, again I say rejoice. And so we have the singers and the jumpers and the rollers. Surely you would think that there is a sufficient variety to suit every one, but it seems not, for new sects are springing up constantly. All these claim to prove their version of Christianity from the Bible; all these are willing to swear that their little handful are the only ones who are right and that every one else is wrong. Christ's Church for nineteen hundred years was a complete failure, but fortunately they have finally come to set it aright. Meanwhile the Bible itself warns us: "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine. but . . . shall heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears." (2 Tim. 4-3). Again, referring to the epistle of St. Paul, the Prince of the Apostles tells us: "As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also other scriptures, unto their own destruction." (2 Peter. 3-16). CHRIST'S TRUTHS CHANGELESS For whosoever preaches any other but the accepted Christian faith of past centuries, by that very fact proves himself to be a false teacher, a false prophet, who as Christ says, "Comes in the garb of a shepherd, but inwardly is a ravening wolf." The true faith must be and necessarily has been believed, as St. Augustine puts it: "Semper et ubique;" i.e. always and all over - by at least the vast majority of Christians. Of that accepted Christian faith, therefore, we can say what St. Paul did of his own teachings: "Though an angel from heaven preach to you a different doctrine, let him be accursed." Here are ten children. Give them all the same simple problem in arithmetic. Imagine that each gives you a different answer. Of these ten answers, you know that at least nine are wrong. Perhaps also the tenth. Here are 33,800 sects. Ask them all to solve the problem, "What does the Bible teach?" Each gives you a different answer. But you know that only one can really be correct. All the rest are wrong. Two and two are always four. There are a thousand wrong answers to every problem, but only one correct reply. "What does the Bible teach?" Each gives you a different answer. But you know that only one can really be correct. All the rest are wrong. Two and two are always four. There are a thousand wrong answers to every problem, but only one correct reply

What system of interpretation? Would you say exegesis is the highest form? And that eisegesis ...and claims...and anecdote...are decidedly inferior systems?

the reason there are so many different denominations is because each one thinks they are "the right one". they substitute the doctrines of men as the commandments of God. such as: "your salvation hinges upon believing the catholic dogma's about mary." jesus wants us to be one as he and the father are one--the father in him, and he in us. john 17. that is the unity of the holy spirit, christ in you. as many as are led by the spirit, these are the sons of God. only those who have the spirit of christ in them are his, "his church". romans 8 the churches one foundation is jesus christ the lord. the father revealed to peter and the apostles present, that jesus is "the christ, the son of the living God." that is the Rock that jesus builds his church upon. who he is, in truth. the chief cornerstone. we start our faith there, believing that revelation. as for peter, he was faithful unto death. we can't trust a written book? just one more example of denigrating the scriptures to support your own unbiblical dogmas. the great commission was given to all the disciples/apostles. peter was the first to preach the gospel, and open the door to the kingdom of God to all who believe. the gospel is the key to the kingdom, the key of david, by the authority of jesus. what ya'll believe about peter and his successors sounds too much like reincarnation. if peter is the vicar, then why all the other epistles of the apostles? paul had to rebuke him for falling back into judaism. he's just a man. jesus didn't start the catholic church, the self aggrandizing popes did. there was corruption in christ's church from the get go. paul warned the elders of the churches that some savage wolves would rise up from among them, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves. denominations, >we are the one true church. many departed from the apostles, showing that they were never of them. those who continue in the apostles doctrine, written in some book, are the israel of God, the jerusalem above is their mother, and are the children of promise, "children of the free woman". he who the son sets free, is free indeed. you can find all of that in that book. to the law and the testimony, if they do not speak according to this word, there is no light in them. search the scriptures daily to see if the things the preachers preach are true, like the "more noble" bereans did. it's all about the blood, that is what our salvation "hinges" upon. there will be tares mixed in among the wheat. that day that is to come will reveal it. "...earnestly contending for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints."

Structure and hierarchy works. You see it in nature and in society. When there's a problem, there are mechanisms to deal with them.

The very thing they complain about is the very thing that kept Jesus' one true and original church intact for 2,000 years - despite the challenges and schisms. Jesus is not the author of division. 45,000 new, different, conflicting and continuously changing denominations is not what he wanted. The Catholic Church is His one true church.
