And just how are you going to be successful in making disciples of thinking non-believers if you can't at least tell them you possess 100% certainty about the correct interpretation of scripture and doctrine? You have already asked them to take the gospel on faith and then are saying you aren't 100% sure about its correct interpretation if you say all christian denominations have doctrines that are faulty to some degree. The only way out of that is to maintain that precisely one of them which you belong to is 100% correct.

that's retarded. I think every major denomination has the BIG STUFF down straight:
-God created the earth and it's inhabitants
-All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
-we can find salvation through the blood of Christ
-God loves everybody, so we need to go to those people and tell them about God, and take care of them.

there are plenty of other doctrines that everybody argues about, sure. but, i don't think they are NEARLY as important as the stuff i mentioned above.

also, the Church is the Body of Christ. it is the ALL of the believers, not just one denomination's worth.

also, I DO believe there is an accessible method of accuracy
when it comes to interpretation of scripture. I think we have the Holy Spirit here to guide us. and the Spirit moves in mysterious ways. I cannot explain, or justify, or begin to guess at all that is at work through the power of the Holy Spirit. but I know god left us the Spirit to guide us while we are here on earth.

anyway, if you seek God out fervently, in prayer and wisdom and obedient faithful living in accordance with the life He has called you to, then I think God grants insight to scriptural interpretation to you when you seek it.
