As I have always understood The Bible, It’s pretty much all about obedience to and love for God and his son. Pretty simple stuff, but we still manage to add all sorts of rituals and traditions to that simple recipe. Man just can’t help adding his own 2 cents to EVERYTHING. It’s the self absorbed tendency that dates back to the whole idea that we might “….be as gods” from genesis. If people could just get passed the idea that we can do ANYTHING beyond obey and love that God would EVER care about, perhaps we could do away with sects. Sects don’t matter, only God and The Bible.
