I think this thread is pretty much done as what is written is clear. People who disagree will just dwell on the authenticity of the bible, which is a seperate topic by itself. to begin with, some contradicting cannot be both true, as anyone i nthe right mind will agree to.
Different religous practices will never mean we follow the same Christ, if i may add to what was already stated by Jeremy Mason. here is the final proof (according to the bible), proof that not all people who call Christ will be validated.
The Narrow Door
Luke 13:22-30(Matthew 7.13,14,21-23)
As Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem, he taught the people in the towns and villages. Someone asked him, "Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?"
Jesus answered:
Do all you can to go in by the narrow door! A lot of people will try to get in, but will not be able to. Once the owner of the house gets up and locks the door, you will be left standing outside. You will knock on the door and say, "Sir, open the door for us!"
But the owner will answer, "I don't know a thing about you!"
Then you will start saying, "We dined with you, and you taught in our streets."
But he will say, "I really don't know who you are! Get away from me, you evil people!" Then when you have been thrown outside, you will weep and grit your teeth because you will see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in God's kingdom. People will come from all directions and sit down to feast in God's kingdom. There the ones who are now least important will be the most important, and those who are now most important will be least important.
Matthew 7:21-23
Not everyone who calls me their Lord will get into the kingdom of heaven. Only the ones who obey my Father in heaven will get in. On the day of judgment many will call me their Lord. They will say, "We preached in your name, and in your name we forced out demons and worked many miracles." But I will tell them, "I will have nothing to do with you! Get out of my sight, you evil people!"
I hope and pray that you understood.... to God be the glory!!!
