Every church says they are the one true church

Yes. Some wag once postulated that because all churches seem to condemn non-adherents to their particular faith to Hell, we're all going to Hell. I think that's not the case, but all do claim to be the one true faith.

I'll bet there may actually be about 6 Billion (and counting) "true faiths." I'm like Laz, in a way...I believe them all. Except the ones who think it's OK to crash jet airliners into skyscraper full of innocent people. I don't believe them. They are going to Hell, and 72 virgins that look like Helen Thomas.

That is what I mean.

Jesus saves. My personal walk with Jesus doesn’t seem to require a massive bureaucracy. It requires me and it requires my faith in HIM.

That is all.

I consider churches to be messengers of the Gospel, I don’t think any church officials are any closer to God than anyone in the pews. They need to hear the message just as much as we do.

Sometimes I get the feeling that some people worship a CHURCH instead of Jesus/God. That is not Christian at all.
