Religious denominations virtually curse one another! Yes they do!

How many people who have read the whole Bible agree on their interpretations of it all?  

Don't give me this "Well, they agree on the essentials!"  Even the ones who "agree" about what the "essentials" are have disagreements all through the details.

I have seen college / university tall and long library shelves full of interpretations.  What would be the point of so much writing if everyone agreed so much?  

Non-Pentecostals say the Pentecostals are wrong!

Pentecostals say non-Pentecostals are wrong!

This one says they are wrong about salvation!  That one says they are wrong about the Holy Spirit.  Another one says they are wrong about the age of earth!  Still others say others are wrong about


  • what women should wear
  • what constitutes holiness
  • what constitutes profanity
  • heaven
  • hell
  • the second death
  • the rapture
  • the tribulation

  • Revelations
  • Genesis
  • Does Isaiah have more than one author?
  • the various editions of Old Testament writings ... what was Josiah's contribution?
  • Was Jonah swallowed by a fish?
  • Was the Genesis flood a worldwide flood, a literal event?
  • How many days for Creation
  • Is Halloween an evil holiday?
  • Is eating shrimp wrong?
  • Homosexuality, what about it?
  • What about drinking wine, beer, coffee, etc???
  • What exactly is "the Word of God?"
  • The Trinity?
  • Oneness theology
  • Dispensations
  • Predestination
  •  Baptize in the name of Jesus?
  • Baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
  • Is the "name" (singular) of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit referring to Jesus?
How many can YOU add to the list?  

     Don't tell me what I should think?  If you know of language matters, history matters, science matters, math matters... other matters that might make good tools for further studying, food for thought, awareness, offer them to me, and simply leave me alone to continue my journey.

     I won't tell you what to believe, nor curse you for embracing a belief that is different from mine.

     and PLEASE, don't tell me that YOUR denomination has it all together and right!
