Who's managing hell?

You research it.
And don't forget to include all each individual
person with a unique Truth.
One thousand, forty or a hundred thousand,
it still illustrates the fact that this reading and reasoning doesn't work- it just keeps spreading
out, not coming together.
So you cite 40,000 denominations but you don't know where or how this number is derived. Got it.

" Reasoning" got you millions
of quick frozen mammoths in
"Flood muck".
“Millions of quick frozen mammoths”? I didn’t say that, and never did.
You like to misrepresent people’s statements?

From the others, who fly closer to earth
with their chosen versions of
Bible - reasoning and respecting, we get
40,000 sects.

And those are the ones - those who have a respect for the Bible - that I’ve had some success with reasoning upon Scripture. Even some Muslims.

The reason that there a vastly greater number of sects in Christendom than in other major religions, simply highlights that Christianity has faced more attacks from God’s Archenemy than other belief structures.

What better way to attack and obfuscate what started as Truth, than to hide it among thousands of counterfeits?

Actually, the worship of Jehovah, through His Son Jesus, is growing (John 6:44), and unity is the result....over 8.6 million, all of us “speak in agreement” (1 Corinthians 1:10), and ‘have love among ourselves’ (John 13:35), the identifying mark Jesus said to look for. Indeed, we love all peoples despite race or nationality.

@Audie , it’s interesting that Jesus didn’t say how to ID his followers was by what they taught — really, with thousands to consider, that would be time-consuming! Rather, He said it was by how they lived & acted (John 13:34-35), which would be for others to honestly determine. (That approach reveals wisdom; it cuts through everything else.) IMO, I found it, many years ago.

Wisdom is realted to belief in Noah's ark,
how?

An honest observation of people self identified as Christians notes that atheists are less inclined to criminality.
A life pattern of bitterly clinging to willful ignorance is characteristic of fundamentalists.

Guess it comes down to who's a true scotsman.

No intent or reason at all to "misrepresent"
your mammoth-in-the- flood weirdness.
One mammoth getting his toe wet in an imaginary
flood is no less nonsensical.

Why don't you set the record straight, though, as the
freezing rate and number seems important to your
belief.

In the process illustrate how little need there is to
invoke " Satan" as the author of all the weird n wacky
ways people use their wisdom to free- form interpret
what they read in the bible.

QUOTE="Muffled, post: 7797991, member: 7502"]I believe I can't speak for Hockey but I interpret by the Holy Spirit who knows all.[/QUOTE]

That is, you do know, what they all say.

Well, I don’t…I haven’t interpreted anything, I just try to listen to Christ’s “brothers” of Matthew 25:40, the “joint heirs with Christ” in Romans 8:16-17.

I’m not worthy enough to be in that group.

i have no doubt though, that Muffled is sincere.
