Religions & denominations, true or not!?

False. There are religions which do not pretend to know what the word of God is.

True, they should, but no one not even me, has complete truth. Remmeber what Paul said:

1 Cor 13:12: For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

Can a church fail because it disagrees with other believers in doctrine? Lets turn again to scripture:

Acts 15:

1: And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.

2: When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.

5: But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.

6: And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter.

7: And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe..

12: Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul...

13: And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:

14: Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.

19: Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:

20: But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

Yes, again from Acts 15, this chapter is loaded with examples of what many would call church failure. In the verses I just listed, we see a doctrinal argument within the church. One may claim, well, they came up with a solution and agreed to it. Yes, but for how long? How many churches do you know, still claim this small list as being the only forbidden things? If such, then I dare say, every church has failed, or almost all, for I know of no such churches following that list. Therefore church doctrine is also possible in differences and is not grounds for failure. Again I am not saying God condones such differences and doctrinal error, I am saying He knows it will happen. But let us go on with more scriptures concerning doctrinal purity.

1 Cor 13:

9: For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

10: But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

12: For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

That scripture shows us that we will not know or understand things in clarity here on earth. Some claim these verses refer to the Bible, and that until the Bible was available to mankind, that perfection was not available, but that is not so. That would mean the church today would be of higher quality then that of the church in the time of Acts and the rest of the Bible times. That of coarse is ridiculous. If we have the perfect, the Bible, then the modern church would be of superior quality to that of the church in Acts, this is not a good stance to take. Let's read on:

Eph 4:

11: And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

12: For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

13: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

14: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

15: But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ

This scripture says we need the 5 types of ministers until we are perfect. The church today must not have perfection, cause we still have ministers and most people do not have access to all 5 of them, and they are by no means of greater quality than the christians in the Bible. Read closely there and you will gain a greater definition of maturity and perfection. I think Paul summed up the doctrinal question well with this:

1 CO 2:2

For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

We know nothing in certain. Only Jesus Christ and his crucifixion. All others things are dimly seen and understood, so doctrine is not a point of failure for the church.
