the 4th century christian bible is the - state religion of the roman empire - that is the cornerstone of the vatican.

the events of the 1st century are a repudiation of the prevailing religion used to persecute and victimize the innocent and is then and presently a religion of apartheid.

jesus and those others in the 1st century are a renewal of the original religion of antiquity to free ones spirit to acquire judgement and admission to the everlasting. chosen by a&e for their own self determination than a life of servitude and denial.

our LDS friends believe that Almighty God put Adam and Eve into the garden, not Adam and Steve.

Just like other Christians, so I'd say yes.

They may wear different underwear than the rest of us, but they aren't glorifying sodomy or conducting gay marriages in their temples.

... meaning it is all only opinion, whether steve and steve, or eve and steve, or magic underwear, or vestaments, crucifixes or crosses or none, etc.

I always thought this was a good primer for the differences. In parody, there is often truth.

If I had to sum it up in a sentence, Protestants heavily favor the the Bible as the sole earthly authority for guiding the Church (solo scriptura), while Catholics believe both the Bible AND Church Traditions serve an equal role in guiding the Church.

protestants steeped away from the state religion in that the original christian bible has been altered albeit slightly from its original context that being their distinction and reorientation back to the actual events of the 1st century and purpose of jesus - to chose liberation theology instead of the contrived servitude and denial of judaism as written and confirmed latter by the crucifiers who wrote the christian bible.

though the influences as the above post revert back to 4th century christianity not everyone are so disposed to claim the same for the true 1st century events and the liberation theology taught during that very short time as the distinction that would be the reason for protestant revival for the true path to the everlasting.

If some of the many versions of the bible promote falsehoods or disinformation how can they be taken seriously?

I was raised a Catholic but lost my religion many years ago. So many of the Catholics I know are completely onboard with the murderous actions of the Israeli Government done in the name of the bible, more precisely the Torah.

I don't see how one can claim to be a Christian and still support the murder and genocide ordered by Deuteronomy and the Torah.

I'm an Atheist, but just because I don't believe in deities, doesn't mean I think that gays are normal in their sexual proclivity. That said, I'm not in favor of killing, harming or imprisoning them, as they do in Islamic nations. It's just an abnormal part of society that is none of our business. If there is a deity, it's for him/her/it to determine which direction they go after death, not people.
Mormonism is just another example of the three worst religions on the planet, the Abrahamic ones, with Islam being the most vile of the three.

Heaven and hell were never the focus. The focus was on living a good life. The Jews believed that successful behaviors naturally lead to success and that failed behaviors naturally lead to failure (i.e. Divine Providence). Which in general is true and logical. Unfortunately moral laws are not like physical laws. Moral laws are more statistical in nature.

But it's hard to argue against the success of the Jews and Western Civilization.

Weren't we given free will? Were you expecting everyone to believe the same thing?

As for the bible, if you read it such that you think it is promoting violence, then you are reading it wrong.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is a Christian religion, of course.

The hint is in their name.

Mormonism categorizes itself within Christianity, and nearly all Mormons self-identify as Christian. For some who define Christianity within the doctrines of Catholicism, Eastern and Oriental Orthodoxy, the Churches of the East, and Protestantism, Mormonism's differences place it outside the umbrella of Christianity.
