One Relgion

This is very off topic for my web site. But I write it in response to the ecumenists in and out if the Catholic church. What truth it contains is God's what errors it may contain are mine and I denounce them whole heartedly.

I really must say that this entire discussion assumes several thing. firstly that God is OK with their being different religions. Secondly that truth (a) changes and (b) therefore truth can not be know absolutely.

I must ask who, an obvious question, started Christianity? I think you all would agree that Jesus Christ founded Christianity. If he founded Christianity then to whom did he give authority to teach that faith. Again I think that all would agree that he gave that authority to the Apostles. Now in the Bible Christ promised to be with his church always. If (and i am not sure you will all agree with this) Christ is God the second person of the Trinity (or lets just say or arguments purpose the Son of God for those of you who disagree with my first statement) and he founded only one church why are there so many different Christian Churches today?

I have to say that the result really comes down to two things. Firstly a misunderstanding of the nature of truth (IE truth changes) and, therefor, secondly a misunderstanding of the nature of God. You rely on truth not to change in your everyday life, 2+2 must always equal 4, objects fall to the ground, the laws of physics must always apply ETC. For some reason this does not, in peoples mind, equate to Religion, morality, or Theology. I hear people say well that is what I believe and is therefor true to me. That is some crazy thinking there. Think what would happen if you applied that when you balanced your check book. If you and the bank did not agree on what to believe when it came to mathematics. I think you all would say that person was crazy.

There is also another reason truth can not change. That is due to the nature of God. God can not change. Why is that? Because for something to change it implies either an improvement or a decline. But God is perfection. Therefor for Him to change would mean that He either was not perfect before or is no longer perfect now. I think we all would agree this is not the case.

Now God is the origin of all things. Therefor He is the origin of truth. If God is perfect truth then Truth can not change as its origin can not. If then you know that Christ was God ( or the son of God if you prefer) then he spoke the word of God. Now what does that mean today. Well there are hundreds of Christian Denominations. They all disagree as to what it is Christ asked us to do. They all have different theology. But Christ only spoke one truth therefor since all Christian religions disagree then either all must contain at least some error or only one contains all of the truth. If all are in error then Christ was not speaking the truth when he said he would be with his Church always.

But if if you know that Christ spoke the word of God then you know that, God being perfection, He is not in error. Therefor there must be only one religion that contains all Truth that God wishes us to know. Of course assuming that you believe that God truly wishes us to be happy with him in Heaven and would therefor give us the means to go there. Now if all this is true then the only way for there to be but one religion is for all men to join the church that contains all truth necessary to reach heaven.
