One Lord, Jesus Christ ...

"But the faith is given. There is one faith, one hope, one baptism, one Lord, one God and Father of us all. There is one church. There is one truth. And that is there from the beginning. But the teaching about it, the defense of it, the explanation, the testimony, the witnessing, the praying, the doxologizing, the hymning, in a sense, you might even dare to say that the expressions of that are virtually infinite, because as we move through history, and as new people come and as new questions arise, those explications and formulations and defenses will continue. But the truth is one and the same. It says in the letter to the Hebrews, “Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever.” He brings all things new, but beyond Him, there is no new thing essentially to be added."
- Fr. Thomas Hopko

That's so true.

Nothing else needs to be added.

How we winded up with so many different religions, it will boggle the mind.

This is definately where the devil has come in, and caused confusion.

Thank you for reminding me there is one Christ, and that's all there is to it.
