When I point out the denomination problem, most of the xtians think it is a problem that I've talk to. When I ask them what makes their denomination the correct one, they give me the same internal revelation speech you just did.
So I don't believe your claim that "most Christians seem to think there is no problem with having so many different denominations." And I certainly don't buy your reason on why your version is correct.
Thinking it is a problem doesn't necessarily mean they think it's a big enough problem to bring one's salvation into question.

Quote:Where in my logic do you find fault? If the book itself says there can be no contradiction, and I am easily able to contradict these 40,000 sects, yet I can't be contradicted, then one is obviously correct and the others are obviously wrong.1) Assumption the authors of the book actually wrote no contradictions in it.
2) For some reason the other sects are not buying your arguments. Maybe you're cheery picking the bible, maybe their cheery picking it, most likely both.
3) At no point did you show that your interpretation of the bible verse is the correct interpretation.
4) The bible contradicts on what happened in the past e.g. no global flood, earth came to exist after the stars, etc...
