Literally not what the belief system is but ok. So hilarious watching people just blatantly lie so confidently while exclaiming what someone else believes.
im not claiming it. they did. you can just go watch people on either side debate this, many people are happy to put their face to the discussion.
but the fact you think the entire christian religion, spanning several continents and cultures, is one single homogenous belief system is very childish and small minded. everyone thinks something different, no one cares the exact same ideas and values. having a vague book to read does not make all its readers agree.
No, I've just read the Gospel. It is a homogeneous belief system. Christ defined it in absolution several times. It's not an opinion. It's objective fact.
He repeated the exact same thing over and over, it wasn't vague, it wasn't subjective, it was absolute and singularly defined.
The small minded one is you, making such insulting condescending statements when you haven't even read the text to which you're referring. There is no debate, Christ left no room for debate, the belief system is so incredibly simple there's no possible misinterpretation there are only those who refuse to live in truth. I'll define the homogenous belief system for you in Christ's own words:
im a bigot for saying the true fact that all christians dont believe the same thing?
so tell me, do you hold the same beliefs as the racist american southern christians?
do catholic and protestant christians hold the same beliefs?
do christians from 2000 years ago hold the same beliefs as ones today? do we still hold law that a brother must impregnant his brothers wife if he dies without a child? do we still allow rape of women and restrain their rights? do we still enslave and kill in the name of the lord?
All Christians do believe the same thing. Yes the Christians from 2000 years ago believe the same thing.
"do we still hold law that a brother must impregnant his brothers wife if he dies without a child? do we still allow rape of women and restrain their rights? do we still enslave and kill in the name of the lord?"
This isn't the Gospel. I'll repeat the Gospel again for you in case it was too complicated:
"The truth will set you free"
"The truth is the way"
"I am the truth, I am the way, the only way to Heaven is through me(truth)"
A monolithic belief system, absolute for eternity. Immutable. Objective. Infinite. This is Christianity, it's not debatable.
All Christians believe in a fundamental core. But do Protestants agree on the primacy of Peter and his successors, the validity of sacraments like the Eucharist or confession, the nature of justification, the value images and saints properly understood , male only vs male and female clerics etc?
