Quote:As for the rest of your points...you do make some good ones. I lament that there exists different denominations in the Christian world that do things differently. Ultimately I feel that this is a result of the fall (man's sinfull nature). Just as Wel Mel hopes for unification in the Muslim world I hope for unification of the Christian church.

Curious, I m sure that u r getting my point, but may be just dont want to face it. You want to sweep it under the carpet being concerned about facing the truth.
I m not talking Curious about unifiction or difference of practices. I m talking about the origin of the practice per se. Who legislated them? Who established the forms of worship you are practicing. According to you, again you said they are based on bible and early church.
This is where all the problem lies. Early church is not but just human beings. How can u perform your worship to your Lord using human made rituals. I will not elaborate more than this. I m sure u r smart enough to understand. Just ponder Curious. Believe me I m not trying to win a debate or put you down. Not at all Allah KNows my intention. I m just using common sense.
