The preposterous idea that God is primarily interested in making sure we believe the right things about Him and His Son has done the most damage to spiritual development and maturity. It has been a major stumbling block to knowing God and Jesus . . . and has distracted people from following Christ's instructions to "love God and each other" daily and repent when they don't. It has been a travesty of retaining ancient ignorance and superstition as a sign of faith in God.

Your conception of being a "Christian" is probably a minority interpretation. The Anathasius Creed, held by the majority members of your "Christian" amagalmation, is rooted in the Trinity doctrine and a single unequivical set of doctrines:

Athanasius Creed:

1. Whosoever will be saved, before all things it is necessary that he hold the catholic faith;
2. Which faith except every one do keep whole and undefiled, without doubt he shall perish everlastingly. 3. And the catholic faith is this: That we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity;.....


This concept was solidified by Constantine's decree of 331 AD, whereas dissenters to the decree were to be executed.

In addition, if any writingcomposed by Arius should be found, it should be handed over to the flames, sothat not only will the wickedness of his teaching be obliterated, but nothingwill be left even to remind anyone of him. And I hereby make a public order,that if someone should be discovered to have hidden a writing composed byArius, and not to have immediately brought it forward and destroyed it by fire,his penalty shall be death. As soon as he is discovered in this offence, heshall be submitted for capital punishment....."[/]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arianism[/
]— Edict by Emperor Constantine against the Arians

Your "Christian" faith was institutionalized during the Council of Nicaea, convened and chaired by the emperor of Rome. Its' two horned foundation, either Peter or Paul, Peter with respect to the foundation of the Catholic church, and Paul as the foundation of the gospel of Grace Protestant Church. Your "Christian" church will be occupied and led by the tares along with the good wheat (Mt 13:29), and there will be more tares which are heading to destruction than the good wheat (Mt 7:13).

And how were "those who dwell on the earth" (Rev 13:14) deceived? They were deceived by the beast with two horns like a lamb (Rev 13:11) Those two horns like lamb were the two staffs of Ze 11, in which the Lord would take two staff to pasture his "flock doomed to slaughter", Peter and Paul, the third shepherd of Ze 11:13 being Judas Iscariot.

Constantine glorified both Peter and Paul by building a basilica for each. Constantine was also the first to publish a bible, and his associate at the Council of Nicaea, Athanasius canonized the present form of the bible in 367 AD. The bible would have the writings of both the tares and the good seed. As for what will happen to the tares of Matthew 13:40, they will be gathered at the "end of the age" and "burned with fire"

- Just quick note:
the 'being gathered' and 'to be burned'
at the end of the age (?)
Is two different events.

The tares are now being gathered together into groups.
So fear not wheat, seeing them coming together?
They think their coming together is to make their forces stronger.
Nope their just being gathered together 'to be burned at the End of the age'.
