Is there room in Christianity for other beliefs?

The answer to this question clearly has to be "no"! Anyone who has taken the pains to read the Bible would agree. All too often people make comments about the Bible and Christianity without having studied either. They take scripture out of context in order to bolster their arguments, or misquote the Bible and Christian doctrine to serve their own purposes (as Satan did with Eve in the garden of Eden). I would even go so far as to state that some "beliefs" which make a claim on Christianity today are not truly Christian at all.

God has given warnings through His word that no scripture should be added or taken away or changed in any way that would alter the meaning of His word, as we see in Rev. 22:18-19:

"For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: [19] And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."

Or in Proverbs 30:5-6:
"Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. [6] Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar."

Again in Deut. 4:2:
"Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you."

And Deut. 12:32:
"What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it."

If other beliefs are taken in and made a part of Christianity, do we not then violate God's command not to alter His word or commands? You know we do. It cannot be otherwise and history proves it.

The purity of Christianity has been distorted by the blending in of other belief systems. The Roman Church, or so called "universal" church system, (Catholicism) is itself largely responsible for many of the changes made to Christianity since its inception. Christian holy days have been combined with pagan holidays (Christmas and Easter for instance). Each time a new cult or pagan religion was won over, some of it's cultural and religious baggage was allowed in with it, thereby changing Christianity. When Jesus said, in Matthew 28:19,20, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of
