I disagree here--there may be 34,000 sects, but there is one true church.
Yea, but everyone will say that they are the true church, etc. for example the Catholics will say that they have the true church, the protestents will say no, the catholic church is whatever, and they are the true Christians, etc. With this anytime someone doesn"t agree with you and the other party identifies themselves as "Christian" would then be called a "so-called Christian" just becuase you (by you I dont necessary mean you personally, although you also do it a lot) disagree with them, or they show to be bad people.
well that is a bit incomplete, isn't it.
because you would say that orthodox judaism is the true judaism.
The fact that others (karaites for example!) would claim that theirs is true, doesn't mean that neither of you can claim it. Or say that judaism = theirs and the other is the fraud. It depends who one is talking to.
Amongst JTF, people understand that reform,conservative,liberal,recon, e.t.c. are frauds, they themselves don't even claim to be going back to true judaism. Ther religion, that the torah is not binding is something new..
But if we are talking to karaites, there is no point saying their so-called judaism, because they cannot be expected to accept that. A theological debate between O jews and karaites, would be the only way to argue it.
At JTF, we have different christians. Catholics, protestants, working together, and this isn't really the place for theological debate on that . So, if, CF was trying to say that some group of christians here are so-called christians , that would seem to be a bit inappropriate. Because the only fair way to say that would be to have a theological debate, and theological debate between 2 allies, one group of christians and another, is not what JTF is about. There must be other forums for that.
Not knowing much about christianity, I don't know what exactly the implications of CF's "true church" thing was, who would object e.t.c.
