There are evidently 33,000 Protestants denominations with about 270-300 being added each year. Of course, every time someone comes up with a new interpretation of Scripture he or she goes off to form "The One True Church."

It's easier than that; it's not interpretations, it's money.

Can you document that every single denomination claims to be the "one true church?" Many denominations are formed over minor preferences in style of worship. Actually, most Christian denominations today are respectful of each other, and acknowledge that they have more in common than not.

The church of Christ is a body of believers, not a "denomination," establishment, building, or bureaucratic organization.

As one of the evo posters says, there are bitter differences of opinion about the details of biology also.
