27,000 Protestant sects. End of story.

It's only the 'end of the story' if you think that Christ died to save organizations. He did not; He died "... so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life" whether they belong to any particular organziation or none at all. That, my friend, is both the beginning and the end of the story.

Neither the Chamber of Commerce or the RCC nor any other human organization can save you. Good wishes.

So Jesus died for theological anarchy? Jesus also prayed so that all may be one. It certainly isn't one. And belonging to an organization is not some trivial matter that's so easily overlooked. There are some serious differences between the sects. I'm talking canon of the Bible, the nature of Christ or whether there is even a Trinity, salvation, the Eucharist, free will vs. pre-destination.

Jesus called us to follow Him and honor His teachings and His Father's Commandments. He didn't say 'believe whatever you want; it doesn't matter.'
