These differ considerably in terms of the Trinity, the nature of Communion, what Bible books are canon, the concept of Baptism The divinity of Jesus(as) and other "Central" beliefs of Christianity.
In the world's statistics they are all counted as Christians. If you do not count them as Christian you have eliminated nearly 3/4 of the World's Christians. Making Christianity one of the smallest religions, not the largest, it now lays claim to being.
If a doctrine believes/teaches that Jesus died for our salvation, that he is the lamb of God, the ultimate sacrifice, and only through him is our path to God; it is Christian. If not, it isn't.

And that is where you get the greatest differences among those who call themselves Christian. While most but not all agree with "and only through him is our path to God" you will get differences in if one needs to believe in Christ as being the Savior. Also big differences in the nature of Christ.
This is written about Jesus Resurrection: The New Testament explains that Jesus will return in the future to judge the living and the dead and to establish eternal peace. I have some questions for you Jesus (maybe someone on this forum can answers some of the below questions as well when looking at christian scriptures).
1. Will you stay on this earth now or will you leave. Will you allow people to ask you questions, for example people from other religions who have a totally different God.
2. There are a little more than 10,000 religions on this earth....are the other 9,999 all wrong?
3. There are thousands of different views within Christianity which totally contradicts each other on many views (for example...Mormons, Jehovah's Witness and many more). Which nomination of the thousands is actually correct. Protestants? Catholics? Orthodox? Mormons? Baptists? Jehovah's Witness? There are actually 32,000 according to studies...are 31,999 false and one is true?
4. What have you been doing since you appeared last time?
5. Can you perform a miracle as you did last time to prove yourself?
6. Which languages do you speak and which one should we talk to you in? Can you speak all languages on earth....after all you are the one who created us all.
7. Is evolution a hoax and what is the evidence we have found so far. Is this just made up (for example the skulls of neanderthals, Homo habilis, Homo erectus etc.)
8. How did all animals get on Noah's Ark. I mean the number are in the thousands and there are many big ones (hundreds of different dinosaurs for example).
9. How old is the earth and when we have found evidence that it is around 4,5 billion years old is that totally rubbish...
10. Do you have any thoughts or views what is the best for a society? Capitalism? Socialism? Communism?
11. If Adam & Eve were of one particular human race..How can we have different ones (Asian, Caucasian, Native people, Africans etc.) if not thru evolution. ...............)...
In brief:
1) Jesus is King of God's heavenly Kingdom - Jesus will govern from above over Earth. - 1st Cor. 15:24-26.
2) How a person responds to the good news of God's kingdom (Daniel 2:44) shows a persons heart condition.
Thus, at the coming 'time of separation' on Earth Jesus, as King, will judge - Matthew 25:31-33,37
3) The religion that matches Scripture is true. Jehovah's Witnesses (www.jw.org) claim that for all to decide.
4) Jesus is governing in the heavens, and is Head of the Christian congregation earth wide.
5) While on Earth Jesus was giving us a small sample, a preview or a coming attraction of what Jesus will be doing for Earth world wide during his 1,000 year governmental reign over Earth.
6) Scripture is international today. Even people living in remote areas of Earth can have Scripture in their own mother tongue or native language. Under Christ, there could also be one international language for all to learn.
7) In lower forms of life God could have used evolution, but where Adam (mankind) is concerned: Adam was fashioned or made from the dust of the ground - Genesis 2:7.
8) Dinosaurs were already extinct in Noah's day. Noah only had to take of each ' kind ' Not each animal.
9) CMBR (cosmic microwave background radiation) because of the accuracy of microwaves then accurate is the dating of Earth. In Genesis the word ' day ' has shades of meaning, Genesis 2:4 all of the creative days are summed up by the word day. Even in our day we speak of grandfather's day and we know that is Not a 24 hour day.
10) Jesus promotes the best society: Not the modern-day theocracy of rule by clergy class, but God's Rule with Christ as King of God's kingdom government (Daniel 2:44) governed by self-sacrificing love -> John 13:34-35.
11) Besides from father Adam and mother Eve, we descend from Noah and family.
Especially as the people migrated away from ancient Babylon they spread out world wide thus helping make different races but all part of the human race.
My questions for Jesus after his Resurrection - Can anyone here answer them?
Apparently not. We got a cut and paste of Christian Dogma, which answers no questions, and a post reasonably stating that any Christian who believes the basics is a Christian - which still doesn't address why there are so many dogmatic differences, never mind different religions.
We all really know the answers, don't we - come on, don't we? Men make this stuff up. If it was 'Revealed' to them, it would be at least reasonably the same.

My question is whether anyone interested in this thread has not been through the countless other threads that essentially bounce the same ball around the same court?
My first question for Jesus would be "what really happened to you?"
My next questions would depend on the answer to that one...
Another question that comes to mind is how this thread got resurrected so long after being dormant.
Slow day?
Yes, it got bumped up a few posts ago #13. Which we are in fact encouraged to do. Somebody felt the need to do some cut -and - paste preachng.
