Its very concerning how in every denomination of Christianity there are different interpretations of the Bible. Either with words or thought's as a whole. And everyone knows that one word can change the meaning and therefore somebodies life. and most likely in a negative way. I was wondering your thoughts on this.

May I add something more to your thoughts?
The chapters in Bible itself differs between different denominations of Christianity.

I think that all religoions is pretty much about the same thing, the diffrence has be be there because cultures are different.

A plus for your discussion. There is no way that anyone can give you a "definite" answer to your question; although there are many who will tell you that their's is the ONLY answer.
As an almost 60 year old woman who has searched and researched many religions over my years (several different factions within the Christianity umbrella as well); the decision that I have come to; and it is most definitely ONLY mine, and one that I would never try to thrust onto any other living being, is that you must follow your heart toward the Path that your Spirit leads You toward.
If you feel that the Christian Bible is your Path and you should follow it exactly as it is written, to me, this is Your Correct and Right Chosen Path, and you should work as hard as you can to adhere to your beliefs.
If you feel that the Christian Bible is your Path and you should follow it more or less as it implies, to me, this is Your Correct and Right Chosen Path, and you should work as hard as you can to adhere to your beliefs.
After studying more than Christianity I have come to the personal conclusion that Paganism is my True Path. Please do not confuse this with Wicca or Satanism (although I also support others' rights to these religions). A pagan is one who simply worships all of nature and the Creator/Creatress or God/Goddess from where all nature came.
Regardless what your religious belief is, sweet young seeker, to me the most important of all spiritual beliefs, is that you never make anyone else feel badly for what they choose to believe in. If someone has a belief that gets them by and makes them feel good and blessed, it is the Right one for them.
I wish you love and peace.~Donna
