First: Who is the true church?

The Reformed group bases their claim to the truth of their gospel on the Bible and the Bible alone. But the Seventh-day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses, and other groups that have infiltrated our country also base their teaching on the Bible alone.

The question that now arises is: If what they claim is true, which of these groups can we consider the true church and the true faith? And if they agree among themselves in relying on the Bible and the Bible alone, why do their teachings differ radically from one another? And where can we find the original teaching preached by the apostles? And certainly, if we suppose that we have identified other groups, each group will say the same thing, claiming that its teaching is the correct teaching.

 There is an official statistic published several years ago in the Lebanese newspaper As-Safir that says there are more than two thousand officially registered denominations and churches in the United States alone. Of course, each of them claims to rely on the Holy Bible. How can a believer not be perplexed and ask: On what basis can I choose one of these denominations and be certain that it is the Church of Christ that will lead me to salvation and achieve the goal for which the Lord Jesus Christ came? In reality, all of them interpret the Holy Bible with a human interpretation according to certain personal data of each denomination. That is why they differ and that is why we cannot rely on any of their interpretations in knowing the truth.
