While it is not my intent to get into a debate on this and as such I reserve the right not to reply to this thread any further, I would like to address something. Impedimentus wrote: NEITHER are sects!!! They are both valid ancient and canonical chruches with valid apostolic successions. berinwitness wrote: Which of the two does Jesus Christ want everyone on Earth to belong to? sirlamre wrote: As far as I can tell in reading the Bible, there should be only ONE Christianity, not many dozens of "churches" dating back to near the beginning and thousands of other "sects" later on. From my point of view, I can't see why Christ would care what sect or denomination a person would belong to. I believe based on my reading and limited understanding of the Bible that what really matters to Christ is believeing in and accepting Him, not what earthly group you have signed-up for. Having a "valid apostolic succession" means nothing if the individual church member has not accepted Christ. We must keep in mind that the Church does not save, the Bible does not save, a denomination does not save, only Christ saves! Christ can save the person who belongs to a church with a "valid apostolic succession" or He can save a person who has never been inside a church building of any kind. So to answer Barin's question, Christ does not care which group you belong to nor if you belong to any group at all. To answer Sirlamre's question, there is only one Christianity in most pure meaning of the word. That one Christianity is made up of all those who have accepted Christ as their Saviour. That one true Christianity takes in all true followers of Christ regardless of the man-made sect or denomination that they might belong to.

The gospel of Jesus Christ is the "Good News". It is not the Mormon Jesus, the Baha'i Jesus, The New Age Jesus, The Jehovah Witness Jesus and so on...Any other Jesus than the biblical Jesus and the "Gospel Of Jesus" as we see in 1 Corinthians 15 of the bible is another Jesus and not the one who saves.
