According to you, which branch is true Christianity?

[Ruggery]

This issue has had many wars and debates, but without reaching any conclusion.

[Armenian Bishop]

Ecumenical Councils discussed this kind of question for centuries, but it came to no good end, because it eventually weakened the Christian Nations. In the 7th Century, Christian ideologies and nations were fragmented, bickering and warring parties, divided against themselves and weakened; basically, a sitting duck for hostile Islamic armies.

What is more important is for people to live well, and be mindful of the words of Jesus Christ himself, that are written in the New Testament.

Ideologies are good guiding foundations, when we realize that our personal human perspectives are limited by our knowledge, experiences, and the interpretations of our spiritual awakenings. This bickering between branches of Christianity serves to bundle together the people of different religious perspectives, without taking into account the merits of individuals that practice religion.

Or as some Protestant Christians say, follow the words of Jesus by interpreting them in your own way (without being radical).

Right, "some" Protestant Christians say that, and do it very well, but not all of them. And, some who say they do, forget that the limitations of perspective viewpoints prevent us from always knowing what is right. That's why it's better to observe our merits, and show compassion for those whom disagree with our ideological perspective of the logos.

Agree.

For real, it is more important to know God for yourself, personally, than to belong to this or that church. Because... one day we will all stand before him. And will he perhaps say "I never knew you.." .. or will he recognise you with a smile as his child?

We must confide more in God than in the men themselves as the Pope or the Orthodox Patriarch.

I don't think they say that. There is a "right" way to interpret Jesus' words -- and that is to listen to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Jesus said that he (the Holy Spirit) will teach us all things... he didn't say priests or popes or pastors will... but he said the Spirit will. That is why it is so necessary for new believers to receive the Holy Spirit, so that they can have fellowship with God, and know his will for their lives. God is real... it's not just about a religion or a tradition. He is very real.

Absoutely, we must trust and follow Jesus, not any man -- whether he be pope or whatever.

The Original Teachings, of course.
The source as is should be.
It is unfortunate that the modern branches have deviated from it, for they are ruled by wolves in sheep's clothing.
