Non-Denominational/Expert Profile

Expertise

We will direct you to the scriptures that can help you to answer for yourself, any serious question about the Bible, Christian Living, or Bible study. We can answer many questions about the history of the Christian churches and about comparative theology. We can discuss why many are leaving denominational, traditional and institutional churches to seek a real and meaningful relationship with God through personal Bible study, private prayers and meditation on God's word. Christian fellowship can be enjoyable and beneficial and teachers can sometimes be helpful, but salvation is between you and God through Christ, who died so that you can have direct access to God apart from any human priesthood (Heb.7:23-27).

To help others, as we all seek more truth and greater understanding (Mat. 10:8b).

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

There are over 33,830 "christian" denominations with the fastest growth in poorer nations where God's truth is diluted with pagan customs (Jer. 10:2). All claim to worship the same God while contradicting or condemning each other. Some say, "There are many roads to Christ." but Christ said, The gate is narrow and the road as tight as a grape press and only a "few" ever find it.(Mat. 7:13-14).

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Since all the major denominations contradict one another (2.1 billion Christians), they cannot all be right. Christ said that "many" who call themselves Christians, will be deceived and rejected by Christ (Mat. 7:22-23), while only a "few" find the right "way" (Mat. 7:14). Who are those "few" and where are they? How can we recognize the true followers of Christ? (Gal. 5:22-23, + more).
