[quote=Anonymous]OP, there are a variety of Christian experiences dating back to the earliest churches established in the Middle East, Asia Minor and Africa to churches that are only. Few hundred years old.  What all these churches have in common is the core belief that Jesus of Nazareth was the promised Messiah, the Son of God sent to redeem mankind for its sinfulness.  After that, it gets tricky with the first Great Schism between the Eastern and Western Churches occurring in 1054 over doctrinal issues concerning the nature of God the Son and the Holy Spirit and the authority of the Bishop of Rome.  Several years later, came the Protestant Reformation in Europe.  The central tenets of the Protestant Reformation were that faith alone brought salvation and that the a bible alone contained all the information needed to understand a god and salvation (sola scriptura). From there, the Great Awakening in the United States further shattered the Protestant world in America into more denominations. So, Christianity is incredibly diverse, and I would not take the ramblings of some ignorant preacher (whose only preparation for the ministry may have been attendance at some small college) as representative of Christians or Christianity.[/quote]
