I submit that the only true and central teachings of Christianity are what came directly from the mouth of Jesus Christ. After that, the moment the very first organized denomination established itself, there came into existence points of divergence, by the sheer fundemental nature of such a concept of a denomination.

As we all know, this is not so. | I submit that the only true and central teachings of Christianity are what came directly from the mouth of Jesus Christ.
