Yeah I guess but still. Some of the sects have pretty different beliefs. Like gay marriage and abortion..

I am sure all Christian (and Jews/Muslims) sects don't like gay marriage or abortion, abortion is killing of life, and God made it clear that God didn't like man on man sexual acts.

Another example would be being able to be saved by works like the Catholics believe or pope said.

No Christian sects believe in saved by work. We believe in good work is one of the effects of been saved. Catholics might believe in Pop been always correct, but the Bible says no one is good except God alone. It is kind of like the Quran says to trust the Bible, but most Muslims will say the Bible is distorted or lost.

I'm not to sure still bout Christ though. Idk it's just that I'm not sure if god is supposed to reveal himself to me or what.
I don't know either, will pray for you :)

Like what do you mean?
I mean that you don't have to understand it all before you "decide" to have faith. Things like choosing a church or a denomination or a position on any specific topic about which different Christians debate, or making a commitment to stop sinning in this way or that way, or accepting the whole of God's word - these will become a function of your faith. Once you allow God into your heart, he will begin to change you and begin to lead you to the truth. The first thing that is necessary is not that you can make sense of it all, but that you have the willingness and the desire to have a relationship with God.

One can find a comprehensive picture of God, His Word, and His Church in our age by visiting www.biblecounsel.net which seeks to show what God intends for His testimony in the world; and one who is a sincere seeker can ask any questions there.

I am guessing God dislike Gays because they went against his design, and abortion is killing.

However if you consider that God said "Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him. (John 3:15)", you know how tough the law of God is, and all of us has broken his law here or there.

I have been a hard supporter of abortion rights till recently, when I heard the actual steps that abortion is performed. If the infant knows pain (most likely they do), it will be a horrible experience. God wants good things for all of us, and we only have limited knowledge, we will never know if the things we are for or against is good or bad (is nuclear power or genetically modified food good?).

That is why it is not what you are doing or have done is not as important as have an repent heart, just ask God that "I don't know if what I did is right or wrong, but I know I am not worth of you and please save me"

Yeah I guess your right about in the end you'll be asking to be saved so these beliefs aren't like ya know. Although I do disagree with you on the abortion part but at the same time agree. I think that after the 6th or 7th month it should be illegal but before that I'm all for it.. Idk.

One thing for you to consider Josh is that the Bible does tell us that there are still many things that we do not completely understand. Yes, God did cover most things in His Word, but this is not in the type of detail that you seem to want. The truth is that when we look at the Bible encompasing over 6,000 years, abortion has really only been an issue in the last 35 years or so. Doctors did not understand reproductioni and health enough to have really made abortion an issue in the past, it is a relatively new thing, per se as far as sin is concerned.

My recommendation for you is to realize that through prayer you have a 'hotline' to the creator of heaven and earth and it is best to ask God about these things. What happens when you ask different people for advice is that you get a wide array of advice. That is not a problem per se, but there is a thing where we must dilignently seek out answers for ourselves.

Through prayer, you have access to God. I think that this is another avenue for you to consider.
