So, why doesn't Scripture uniquely endorse a specific denomination ?

[Drich]

Luther admitted to manipulating Scripture to teach his theology. He was also very anti-Semitic and his rhetoric of "burn the synagogues" and "kick the Jews out of Germany" was borrowed by the Nazis.

The entire church manipulates Scripture to support their theologic nonsense. The only ones who have it right are the authors of Scripture.

Having read the NT in it's original autographed language I see the unity of one body. However, the clergy divides us infinitely with their theology. Theology, which should be the science of God, has become the showcase of mans goofy ideas! As my brother said:

"Soon after the end of the first-century, so-called theologians of every stripe went to work busily adding their own little twists and spins to the Word of God. In time, these little nuances became unquestionable dogma backed up by absolute power. Many have paid the ultimate price for not following the religious line of the day in lockstep conformity."

To be fair, even if theologians had chosen perfect translations of what the original authors of the bible had written, we might still have those men's goofy ideas.

That's the whole point though!

God in the OT had one set of rule one denomination that he endorsed... look what happened to it. Look at how far it went in the wrong direction meaning people started worshiping the rules themselves rather than using the rules as a way to get closer to God.

The way the NT is written now is that no one preist/pope/high holy whatever can screw it up for everyone else. Rather, each of us in accountable to God on an individual level as there is not priest you must go through to worship God. Emmanuel God is with you meaning God deals directly with you or rather you have the ablity to deal directly with God. This is what sets Christianity the bible speaks about from the old forms of religion.

We he/Petros certainly got the whole circumcision thing wrong (thankfully) for the majority of us.

In that he taught that all gentiles had to become Jews (mentally and physically) first then be converted into Christianity. Hence Paul's circumcision of the heart rather than peter's.. "peter circumcision"

Circumcision is a hard concept to sell to grown ass men. Paul did a lot of lawyering. Many have accused him of being motivated by power; he lawyered what was Jewish Christianity to make it more palatable to converts in order to more easily expand his sphere of influence.

So was peter the infallible word/leader of the church and all should be converted to Judaism then Christianity or was Paul right?
