      CHAPTER 12   ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSION

      Christianity is the only religion in the world based on facts and not philosophy. (Encyclopedia of Philosophy)

      CHAPTER 1  DENOMINATIONAL DOGMA

      Denominational Dogma is the teaching, tenets and statements of faith of each individual Christian denomination. As bad as it sounds denominational dogma is necessary in order to make religious organizations more cohesive. Dogma is the intellectual cement that holds church groups together. Unification of all denominations is not the purpose of this book. However; the unification of all denominations under the banner of Christianity is truly a worthy goal. My own belief system is not valuable to others outside of it, unless I am able to accept and cooperate with other Christian Churches that worship Jesus. In my co-operation I do not change my own dogma and do not overtly or covertly attempt to change the dogma of other organizations. I am not condoning fellowship with obvious cult groups and non-Christian world religions like Islam, Confucianism, Kabala, Hinduism, or Witchcraft. But I am encouraging interdenominational fellowship with all Christian churches who embrace the fundamental truths of the Gospel of Christ. I may not agree with every tenet of their doctrine, but I agree that Jesus is Lord. I will only fellowship with other Churches when I can easily identify the basic Christian fundamentals in their statement of faith. We must understand and accept that Christians are always in a stage of transition from basic to higher order Christian beliefs.

      However; it never ceases to amaze me how many Christians of all faiths that do not understand the doctrines of the churches to which they belong.  The Baptists, Methodists, Pentecostals, Episcopalians, Presbyterians and other denominations all have statements of faith, catechisms, tenets, and dogmas which are rarely well understood by their congregants. It is unfortunate that the cults and other false world religions do a better job of teaching their false doctrines than Christian do teaching the one true Gospel.

      Furthermore; it is also disturbing that mainstream Christian denominations spend more time and energy renouncing one another instead of teaching their denominational dogmas, rituals and fundamental beliefs about God and Christianity. My final analysis is that Christianity as a whole should refrain from fighting one another and concentrate on renouncing the cults and obvious false religions in the world. I admit some theological saber rattling is beneficial to increase dialog among Christian denominations. A Christian church which is in error on one tenet of faith may be perfectly correct in all other basic Christian doctrinal tenets. It would be silly to burn down an entire house, just because a door or window was stuck. Likewise it would foolish to demolish an entire Christian church or denomination because they were not perfectly correct about all tenets of the faith.

      Trinitarians and Oneness people often condemn one another instead of loving one another as commanded by Jesus. You will find the Oneness belief system within the pages of this book, and the belief systems of Trinitarians and some other faiths. However; there is also in Chapter 10 the Essential Doctrine of Love, which we all should pay close attention and heed to. For everything that we do in church and religion apart from love is considered by God as nothing!

      And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing (1 Corinthians 13:2 KJV)

      This verse demonstrates that major Christian work will still go unrewarded if the base of love is not present. There are many ministers who can prophesy and foretell all your future events, but if they are doing it for fame or fortune, it will not be rewarded by God. There are Christian workers who are knowledgeable about the Bible, church history, church liturgy and know many wonderful facts about Jesus, the church
