When we left the 7th Day Adventist Church we wanted to embrace all Christianity and we made a goal to attend every Protestant Church in our area. So for 6 or 7 years we explored….as many as 5 churches a week. It was a little disconcerting because they all had conflicting interpretations of Scripture. They all distinguished themselves from other denominations with “We are the Christians.”….. Everyone claims that title of Bible Christian. It was interesting because they all quoted St. Augustine “Unity on essentials” which didn’t make any sense to me at all. The pastor had no explanation of why everyone read Scripture differently and treated it as though it wasn’t any big deal. We wondered what is this unity and what are these essentials because each Church would state what unity meant to them and what their essentials were and they were all different. This idea of a simple self-interpreting Bible just doesn’t fit in to reality.
