What do you think about the disassociation between the elements of religion within Christian denominations and the way of Jesus himself?Ryan P Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13880385121609917259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3964209863129451163.post-88585355933324826222013-03-07T11:40:13.934-06:002013-03-07T11:40:13.934-06:00I believe it is impossible for a Christian church ...I believe it is impossible for a Christian church to be "non-denominational" if we agree with the idea of a denomination as a "a group or branch of any religion" (Oxford Dictionary). Any organization or community of Christians stems from the root, is a branch and must be a denomination. It would be, on the other hand, seperate from the primary definition of a denomination: "a recognized autonomous branch of the Christian Church". The problem with this definition though is that it fails to address the problem of who is recognizing the religion. I think the term "independent" better defines what people call "non-denominational" for churches. -Rob D Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
