    Did Christ wrote the things you believe in or was it written by humans?

    I think it's the latter.

    Considering the many "types" of Christians, what was written down, is not clear enough, as it leaves room for interpretation.

    Each "type" of Christian follows the interpretation of the group he belongs to. Each one of those groups are interpreting what was written down by imperfect human beings, who might have given their own interpretation while writing it down.

    I respect your belief and no humble Christian should challenge it.

    In fact, I think that what you believe is what you should believe; I won't argue about that. I'm tolerant.

    What I do dislike, is the fact that a lot of Christians say that their version is the only correct one, which, to me, contradicts with the "humble before God" part.

    We, as humans, can only interprete and try to understand, but we cannot say that our version is true and all others are wrong, because that would be putting words in Gods' mouth.

    Thinking that you know what Gods' message was and all those who disagree are mistaken, is typical human. Just like vanity and pride, which are sins.

    Maybe you are right, but it's possible the other believers are right as well. Or maybe you're all wrong. Only God knows and, humble as you are, that is something you should recognise and accept

    Most Christians are not humble enough when it comes to Gods' message.
