Having one denomination does not signify truth.

The true church cuts between all kinds of denominations. All that’s required is faith in Christ’s righteousness instead of our own.

Interesting that you use the word "cuts"...

"Since Christ suffered for the Church and since the Church is the body of Christ, without doubt the person who divides the Church is convicted of lacerating the body of Christ."
–the Council of Florence, Session 9 (23 March 1440)

**Having one denomination does not signify truth.**

Then why is it, pray tell, that the Catholic Church is the one church that has stood through the ages (since Jesus’ time 33 A.D.) to this day against:

abortion

euthanasia

contraception

same-sex marriage — homosexuality

embryonic stem cell research

in vitro fertilization

and on and on..................???

Why other lines of faith have crumbled on these issues??

===========================================

Sounds simple enough. You should have been a Muslim, just Allah, no one else,

No Father/Son/Holy Spirit, no holy days, no Christmas, no Easter, nothing but Allah. No prayers, no rosaries, no confessions, just YOUR idea above.

How DID the Roman Catholic Church, the oldest, longest surviving institution in the world, ever manage without your wisdom? All those popes, councils, crusades, heresies, martyrs, saints, monasteries, doctors of the Church, overcoming the Reformation by that Roman Catholic priest Martin Luther, heretic kings like Henry VIII who founded HIS OWN CHURCH because the Church wouldn't let him divorce...and so on.

When ALL WE REALLY need is "faith in Christ’s righteousness instead of our own."
Maybe you should e-mail the Pope and tell him all about your inspiration. I'm sure that he would be very interested. And, of course, he's never heard THAT before. Amazing!
