: : More importantly,the catholic church is also the biggest perversion of true Christianity.

: What do you define as "true Christianity"? The Greek Orthodox Church?

: After all, it's the longest-surviving branch of Christianity around; all of your Gospels came from the Greek...

: Or, perhaps, the Coptic Christians of Egypt; another ancient sect.

: Or are you just defining your branch of Christianity as "the true faith"?

No, I'm not. It doesn't make a difference what church you go to, what matters is what you believe. It doesn't make a difference if you are Catholic, Methodist, Pentecostal, Lutheran, Baptist, non-denomonational etc... unless you have been born again, you are not a Christian. I really dont want to get in the religious discussion because this really isn't the place and it's not a very popular topic here. But the first Christian church started at the time just after Jesus' death and ressurection (actually, you could say that it started with Adam and Eve) Anyway, the first Christians truly worshipped God, and you can read about in the book of Acts. As time went on, churches started teaching unbiblical doctrines and some people were believing them. Then some people said "Wait a minute! What is going on here? Why are these people and churches straying away from what the Bible and Jesus says?" So those people broke away and called themselves protestants. So even though I attend a pentecostal church, which is protestant, I don't consider myself pentecostal or protestant. I just consider myself a Christian. As for your questions about the other religions you mentioned, I never even heard of Egyptian Coptic Christians, and although I have heard of the Orthodox Christians, I really don't know much about them, I thought they were similar to Catholics though.
