Answer 1

Why do Christians disagree amongst themselves with regard to these issues..?



~~~ Perhaps some are actually still capable of thought?

Only a mindless drone doesn't question, especially nonsense!

Answer 2

Some people try and bring things like evolution into gods plan and The bible is all about Gid, and how he created everything that is without a theory that if research is done can not happen no matter how many people say it's reliable evidence because carbon dating is unreliable as well, so that means rocks went dated with reliable accuracy so how can you believe God frisked evolution to create everything when not one Ape-man has ever been discovered. That's why we get in conflict. It's because people try to make the bible something it isn't.

Answer 3

Christians do not disagree on whether Jesus is God and the 2nd person in the Trinity of the one God. This belief is essential and fundamental in defining if one is Christian.



The prosperity Gospel is a whitewashed way of condoning greed.



The Bible teaches one Church founded by Jesus personally called the Catholic Church through which on mut pass to be saved.



Christians agree that Jesus rose physically. The empty tomb is the evidence.



Tongues and divine healing is biblical.



Tithing is a response to the Holy Spirits call.



Do you mean "what translation" of the Bible? The only offense that I know of is the NWT produced by the Watchtower which is a paraphrase of the Bible produced to support their man-made doctrines that deny that Jesus is God.



There is no biblical prohibition from women teaching and speaking in church.



Alcohol and pork are allowed in the New Testament.



There is no biblical prohibition against Christian music.



I do not know what you mean when you ask if Heaven or Hell is physical. They are realities for those in God's grace (Heaven) and those who reject God (Hell).



Jesus prayed that all who are His be one in His Church the Catholic Church. So God's will is for unity and not division which comes from an evil source for division.



God bless!



In Christ

Answer 4

ALL Christians agree Jesus is God. That's the definition of Chirstian.



As to why they disagree about other things, no one who has ever MET any HUMANS wouldn't expect any group to agree about everything.



Why do you ask?



It's really silly to ask why a lot of people disagree about lots of things. Seriously, on what planet have you always lived?

Answer 5

Why don't you Christians just ask God? You know, since you guys seem to have a personal relationship that involves him entering you all the time

Answer 6

Christians do not disagree about the Trinity. Being Trinitarian is a fundamental requirement for Christians.

Answer 7

Religion is hermeneutical (i.e. interpretative). That's how it withstands the test of time. People believe what they need to believe. They interpret texts to say what they need or want them to say. They filter out information causing contradictions and dissonance, because cognitive discomfort is unpleasant. Trouble arises when Christians call Christians who don't interpret Christianity the way they do sinners or wrong or bad, e.g. "a TRUE Christian would interpret the Bible to mean what I interpret the Bible to mean."

Answer 8

We don't.



Not really anyways.



For example, anyone who does not believe that Jesus is God, is not really a Christian, because on this point, all real Christians (saved & born again) are in agreement by the Holy Spirit.



Issues like alcohol and pork, are irrelevant to salvation, so disagreement on them are irrelevant.

Answer 9

Christians don't. Denominations do.

Answer 10

Because ever fundie alive KNOWS what god thinks and it just happens to be EXACTLY what the fundie thinks, so there are 10's of thousands of christian denominations.

Answer 11

Here's what Jesus said is important in John 3 -



5Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6"That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7"Do not be amazed that I said to you, 'You must be born again.'

Answer 12

Sorry but you misperceive. We are not concerned with these so-called questions.



Therefore decided will be that you attempt to divide the church. You will unfortunately fail.

Answer 13

True Christians agree on the essentials, it's only the secondary issues where there is disagreement. If someone denies that Jesus is God, or denies the Trinity, or denies that salvation is by grace alone, or denies the physical resurrection, they are not a real Christian. http://www.christianity.com

Answer 14

Oh I don't know, probably because of their...



NATURALLY-ARISING INNATE MORALITY



...which they use to govern which parts of the bible to which they adhere, and not the reverse.

Answer 15

So the first thing to address is that the Bible advocates freedom of thought; admonishing Christians to test all things, to think about (“meditate on”) our own beliefs, to pursue wisdom and knowledge, to consider the validity of human philosophy, and to defend our faith using reason. Clearly, this freedom opens the door for Christians to come to different conclusions on certain issues. There is no rule in Christianity that all Christians must agree on all things. Respectful debate as a tool to pursue truth is encouraged in Christianity.



Differences can also stem from the fact that Christians are all individuals – at different stages in their Christian walk and understanding. Christians have different educations and backgrounds. Some have recently converted, whilst others have had the benefit of decades of Christian experience and education. The Bible describes Christianity as a body – so God gives the appropriate information to those performing their specific role in the body. No Christian (or Christian group) should every consider themselves to have all the information – and therefore consider themselves beyond correction. Which is all to say that Christians are permitted to disagree over various issues without undermining the veracity of the overall faith.







The Fundamental Doctrines of the Christian Faith

- Whether jesus is god

- Whether trinity is biblical

- Whether jesus rose physically or metaphorically



Some doctrines are more supported in scripture than others. Doctrines which are considered to be overwhelmingly supported in the Bible are labelled the Fundamental Doctrines of the Christian faith. These are the doctrines which could be considered to define and distinguish Christianity from other belief systems (i.e. this is what Christians believe). All legitimate Christian denominations (including non-denomination groups) adhere to these doctrines; including, the Divine Authority of Scripture, The Eternal Deity of Christ, The Virgin Birth of Christ, The Vicarious Sacrifice of Christ, The Bodily Resurrection of Christ etc.



Individual Christians have the right (and are encouraged) to look into these doctrines, and may at times disagree, but as these particular issues are considered so thoroughly supported in scripture, rejection of these is considered to represent a non-Christian position.







- Whether Christians should be one church, or many denominations

- The “true” denomination/sect and which sect will end up in hell



In over two decades of Christianity, I have never encountered this perception in any Christian I have met. Most Christian denominations consider other denominations to be equally Christian. Some denominations are identical; except that they were founded by different organisations. Other differences stem from differences of ministry focus, ministry type, service structure, and sometimes disagreement over non-essential doctrines (those only moderately or sparsely supported in scripture).







Grace versus Law

- Whether tithing is compulsory

- Whether pork is allowed (some denominations don’t allow)



These are tenets of the covenant between God and the nation of Israel (the Law of Moses). Christians relate to God under a different covenant and are therefore not obligated to the list of rules contained in the Law. Since the Law is part of the Bible, it is sometimes difficult for Christians (including my former self) to put the Law in its Biblical (i.e. non-Christian) context. Some fear that teaching grace apart from Law gives licence to sin, or that rejection of Law equates to a dismissal of scripture.

[This is an important doctrine (and very well supported in scripture), but not a defining doctrine of Christianity – i.e. disagreement doesn’t equate to a rejection of Christianity because it more likely stems from misunderstanding than insincerity]







- The version of bible to use and some versions being “of the devil”



You seem to be trying to portray these issues as more emotive than they really are (i.e. by adding the “of the devil” comment). In reality, there are two historical streams of Biblical manuscripts. They are in broad agreement except that one stream contains more information than the other. It is debated as to whether this information has been added to one, or removed from the other. Even those who prefer one generally agree that little is diminished if you stick to the other. [So not really a major issue]







- Whether heaven or hell is physical



This is more semantic than contrary. Some Christians prefer to refer to these as “a state” of existence, since they are spiritual, supernatural claims – so the term “physical” may not be technically appropriate. [Again, not a critical doctrine]







- Whether tongues is biblical

- Whether healings are biblical



These are clearly Biblical – and yet appear to have diminished from the church. The debate is over whether this diminishing is the result of God removing the gifts (after establishing the early church), or whether the diminishing is the result of a lack of faith in the modern church. I have experienced these gifts and so obviously prefer the latter explanation.

[These clearly do not reflect any essential doctrine pertaining to Christ or His offer of salvation]







- Whether women are allowed to speak in church (some denominations don’t allow)



A prima-facie reading of one passage of scripture teaches this – which is why some denominations might adhere to this passage legalistically. A further investigation might consider issues of historical and grammatical context – revealing a more likely conclusion that everyone (men, women and children) should be quiet (as in non-disruptive) during church service. But in the specific instance addressed by Paul, it was the women who were disrupting the service with questions that could apparently wait till later.

[So we are dealing here with a single passage (i.e. NOT-well supported in scripture) in a particular context – and so clearly a non-essential doctrine]







- Whether alcohol is allowed

- Whether christian rock music is biblical

- Whether food offered to other gods should be consumed



Romans, chapter 14, addresses how we are to deal with these grey areas (aka “doubtful things” – Rm 14:1). Grace is a difficult concept for many to comprehend (i.e. the idea that Christians are not subject to a strict list of rules); especially for those who come from a legalistic tradition (such as Judaism or Islam). These Christian converts have been conditioned to think that breaking certain ritual actions offends God, and so ‘stronger’ Christians (those who understand that these rituals are irrelevant to God) should refrain from encouraging the ‘weaker’ Christians from acting against their conscience – which is obviously a bad habit.

[So these issues are differences based on being at different stages of spiritual maturity coming to a different doctrinal understanding]







- Legality of megachurches and prosperity gospel



I haven’t heard any Christian objections to large churches. This would be an odd objection given the commission to preach the gospel.



There are a lot of doctrines associated with “prosperity gospel” – none of which are essential, Christian defining issues.

Answer 16

Why do Christians disagree amongst themselves with regard to these issues..? Fake Patriarch Kirill and other fake church leaders signed a document in 2006 where it says that all religions worship the same supreme being; anathema. Last Orthodox Patriarch is Patriarch Irenaios of Jerusalem. Major heresy of the last century was that the name of the Creator doesn't have anything to

do with the Creator.

American pronunciation of the word "God/god" is "gaad" which means Satan in Ruski.

Ruski words for "English" and "angelic" are very similar; Satan was an angel.

Read only Bible that is translated by theologians. John the Baptist ate only carobs and honey. Eating bugs like locusts leads to demon possession and three stands of DNA. 666ed people eat GMO food (which is food with bug DNA).

Ecumenism has 263 heresies; each heresy leads to hell.

Roman Catholic icons are drawn from naked people.

Orthodox icons are inspired by the Holy Spirit.

When you look directly into the eyes of the figure depicted on an Orthodox icon, energy is coming your way, that is, you get healed.

If you look at Buddhist-Roman Catholic-Satanic icons, you get the passions from the person depicted.

There has been a study done by Ruski scientists. When an Orthodox Christian crosses regular water, it becomes better. When an Orthodox Christian priest crosses regular water, it becomes even better than if regular Orthodox Christian crosses the water. This is the usual.

Now, we are in the end days. In some churches (that have been infiltrated by the antichrist's minions), antichrist's blood is served. Also, scanners put 666 on foreheads at the entrance. Theotokos Virgin Mary pushed down the altars at these churches (invisible to humans). Icons in these churches are changed to Satanic-Buddhist-Roman Catholic type instead of normal. Water (instead of becoming better) becomes worse when "blessed" in these "churches".

Orthodox icons must have correct hand signals.

Correct blessing hand means Alpha and Omega

AND

Iesus Christous (Jesus Christ in Greek and Church Slavonic).

Incorrect hand signals are signifying the antichrist.

Also, do you see the scrolls on the Orthodox icons?

They will be opened when antichrist will be coming to town.

These scrolls will reveal everything about the antichrist.

Note also, calendar must be Orthodox, not Roman Catholic.

During the 8th "wolf" Council, antichrist will kill those priests who

disagree with him. Other priests will worship him when a bird dies at

his feet.

Pelageya of Ryazan said that there will only be seven churches left in the end days.

Vaccines, IVs, tooth fillings/implants, cosmetics, medicaments, certain foods and drinks, etc. contain nanochips and/or cells of aborted fetuses; intake of which leads to demon possession.

Give back your documents to the gov't and live in Ural Mountains or Alaska.

Heresy leads to loss of love. Rapture is a heresy. You have to hide with Orthodox Christians to escape 666. Reject globalism, UFOs, documents, vaccines, ecumenism, cities, technology, etc.

The only true Christians are people who rejected mark of the beast documents and drink blood of Jesus.

Note, some churches serve antichrist's blood. So, choose wisely.

Read the Book of Revelation.

It's all clear now anyway if you have wisdom to

understand that 2 elongated lines on a barcode is a 6.

Each barcode has 3 double elongated lines.

Hence, it spells 666.

Barcode on documents leads to temporary hell.

Barcode on one's body by isotope rays leads to permanent hell.

According to Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov, 666ed people will

first hide the green 666 with durags and long sleeves, but then openly will walk

with shiny green 666 on their foreheads or wrists.

The Most Holy Trinity gives you a name during baptism.

Devil gives you an anti-name during anti-baptism.

Barcode is Druid black magic curse and a form of mark of the beast just like Social Security.

People who took any number (which is an anti-name given during anti-baptism by the beast) on documents or in computer go to temporary hell;

but those who receive green 666 (given with World Passport with no name on it) on forehead or wrist go to permanent hell.

How not to go to hell?

Give back all these anti-name anti-baptism documents back to the beast

by writing to appropriate authorities.

If authorities refuse to cancel these anti-names, then write again (up to three times).

If you wrote to the gov't three times about it, but gov't refused, then The Most Holy Trinity

will not send you to hell.

Don't take the microchip. If you already took it, get rid of it because microchipped people will be influenced by computers to take the World Passport (grey plastic card with no name on it).

Don't go into a UFO to be healed by demons. Those who reject 666 will go to heaven. Also, their direct ancestors will be saved from hell.

All who call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ or sign themselves with sign of the cross during WW3 will be saved. War in Ukraine will last two years (2014 - 2016). Then WW3 will start. Then Tsar (revealed by resurrected Seraphim of Sarov) will come to power in Russia to protect people from the antichrist. Antichrist will allow all sin. Don't sin. The Most Holy Trinity is merciful but 666 is not forgivable. 666 is given with grey plastic card.

Food stores, prisoners, and police will 666 people too. Don't get new documents. Don't get any surgeries. Don't eat meat. Don't eat fast food. Don't eat junk food. Pray the Jesus prayer.

Don't go into UFO to be healed by evil demons. Feed the pigeons. Give to charity in the name of Archangel Michael. Reject vaccines. Hide with Orthodox Christians to escape mark of the beast; leave all electronics behind so that you can't be tracked.

Antichrist's next target is the Statue of Liberty.

One big shake, one giant step forward, one giant collapse.

You use your spirit to talk to The Most Holy Trinity.

Demons attack soul and body.

Demons live inside clones. Jesus died for all sins committed by all.

Jesus said that you have to drink His blood.

All people have soul, body, and spirit.

In animals, blood substitutes soul.

That's why you're forbidden to drink animal blood.

Animals don't have spirit.

You're forbidden to drink human blood (like during blood transfusion) because sins transfer.

You're told to drink blood of Jesus (because He's sinless) so that your sins are forgiven.

Dogs are not allowed in your home and your church because the Holy Spirit will leave.

One can receive mark of the beast because of cats; so, stay away from cats.

Give to charity in the name of Archangel Michael; he rescues people from hell twice a year (or brings them up a level, that is, to a level with less punishment; eventually, people are freed). Feed the pigeons; when pigeons bow down, people are saved from hell. Birds participate in time creation. It's a sin to kill birds. Dinosaurs live under our level. They will get out through sinkholes and lakes. To kill them, go for their nerves. Save the birds; but kill the dinosaurs. First dinosaur will come out of Volga River in Russia. Since antichrist (born to a 12th generation prostitute, flying, big-nailed, gloved, pale-faced, red-eyed, Satan-possessed since he's 12 years old, homosexual man from the tribe of Dan, who wears blue robe over left shoulder while red/pink robe is underneath just like Jesus, and is surrounded by demons but people see angels of light) is around, there is no need for disputes. Forgive me.
