I came here looking to bring clarity and understanding to those interested in Christianity. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

If you all believe in the same God then why is there no single denomination of Christianity?

Really good question!!

If God wanted a single denomination He would have given us a set of rules that regulated every aspect of our faith. along with an established hierarchy as He did with the Jews. Rather Jesus Gave us two commands. to love our Lord God with all of our Heart, Mind, Spirit and Strength, and the Second is like it. We are to love our neighbor as ourselves.

These are the defining guidelines of all of the law of the prophets. The Majority of the NT defines what Christianity is not. In fact if you want to, look at it this way. each book of the NT is written to a different church or denomination if you will. Because the Romans had issues the Hebrews did not and the Hebrews had issues the Galatians did not, and so on. So why were things done this way? The Short answer; so we did not fall into the trap of worshiping religion as the Pharisees did.

Remember God wants us to Love HIM with all of our being, not spend all of our efforts perfecting the method of worship. (Worshiping, worship)

That's not to say we haven't made a mess of this simple principle along the way. In the long run if one is true to scripture then that person will ultimatly see the freedom Christ gave the Chruch.

How do I find God and fully repent for my sins? I'm having trouble and I need the help of a worthy Christian! Will you help me seek and clarify my understanding of the concept of Christianity?

How to find God: it is outlined in the first 1/2 of Luke 11

5 And He said to them, “Which of you shall have a friend, and go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves; 6 for a friend of mine has come to me on his journey, and I have nothing to set before him’; 7 and he will answer from within and say, ‘Do not trouble me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give to you’? 8 I say to you, though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will rise and give him as many as he needs.

Keep Asking, Seeking, Knocking
9 “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 11 If a son asks for bread[d] from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

To repent means to turn. So basically all you need is to change your attitude, your desire or your want to sin.

Let me know what else i can do.

He gave me good reason with post 1.

At best it was patronising, at worst deliberate trolling.

Why would I have any interest in christianity? Why would he think anyone on here would - this is an atheist forum.

Option 3 I am here to serve you as Christ served his flock.

Time will show my true intentions.

Who made god?

another Good question!
Being "made" or born denotes one's confinement to linear time. God is infinite this is one of His key attributes. The basic concept of infinity spans the boundaries of linear time.

In linear time everything has a beginning and an end. God does not because He is not bound to our understanding of time. This is what is meant by his proclamation of being the Alpha and the Omega. This literally means He started time and He will bring it to a close. If God was before there was time then God was the beginning of the beginning. There was nothing before except God.
