I googled how many Christian denomination there are and got an answer of 41,000. Each, of course, with their own views and policies and confidence that they are closest to Biblical and Gospel teachings. They may all sit under the same “Christian” umbrella but there is a huge difference between Unitarians and Southern Baptists. Is Christianity dead? Probably not. But it is so splintered and diluted that it should probably be called something else. When someone labels themselves a “Christian” I have no idea what that label means to them. I know what it means to me and it’s generally not positive. Did Christianity EVER supply a vision of humanity that transcends narrow self-interest? Normative Christianity? Was there ever such a thing?8thdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17139355263412766126noreply@blogger.com
