The poster of this thread is here merely to sow dissension and discord.

On the contrary, the purpose of this thread is to encourage Bible Christians to pull together, to prayerfully reflect on what they have been taught. The word "truth" appears in the Bible, in the singular. There can be only one Truth. If anything, the erroneous theory of sola scriptura has split and divided the christian community into thousands of communities.

According to Scripture, Christ wanted us to be one (John 17:22-23). We are all as a Church to be of one mind and to think the same (Philippians 2:2; Romans 15:5). There is only to be one "faith" (Ephesians 4:3-6), not many.

According to Scripture, Christ wanted us to be one (John 17:22-23)

Yes, he did want that, and he wanted it because A) He knows our sins before we commit them, B) He knew, just from the examples of his disciples, our love of sectarianism and division (Master, we saw these casting out demons in your name, and we told them to stop, because they were not one of us", C) He foresaw, correctly, that because of our sin nature and our love of division (and worse, "Master which one of us will sit at your right hand?"), that the world would not believe - and it does not.

Please reflect on what the Master is asking, not of your Protestant brothers and sisters, but of yourself. You can't change them, at least not this way. You can let your light shine, though. Work on that.
