” Can everyone start their own church and believe their own personal opinion?”

Matthew 18:20 “For where two or more are gathered in My name, I am there in the midst of them”. I’ll take that as a YES as long as they go by the teachings in the Bible.

Does that make it a church? Can everyone have their own religious theology or interpretation?

Are you familiar with Acts chapter 15?

Who are we to argue with God? Would you feel more comfortable in a nice stained glass Church with graven images filled with people? The Apostles did not have such luxuries.

Is. 1:18 "Come let us reason together" Says the Lord. Did you miss the part where He said He would send His Comforter (Holy Spirit)? Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus or is it more of a communal ritual thing? Yes, you can go with the crowd along the broad and easy path but the Apostles had a more lonely narrow one to travel.

Even if some veer off course from what is taught in the scriptures, none of them are as far out of the loop as The Catholic religion...

At least these denominations are sticking with what they believe the bible to say...The Catholic religion just invents junk that has no biblical basis and calls it doctrine or dogma...And then calls itself the one, true religion...

Has Jesus gone on record as correcting anyone's theology?

He sure complained about their PRACTICES!
