34. Why So Many Christian Denominations?

The Bible says:

Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Eph 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

If this is true, then WHY are there so many Christian denominations? Does the Bible have an answer to this question...

many 'Denominations' only because the Original wasn't good enough for some Humans that are smarter then God.

@Gonegoodforever It's more than just being good. It's about who you get to know and the main way to get to know God is to read the Bible and study the life of Jesus. Morality will never save anyone, it is only Jesus.

Research the history of Christianity. The truth: There is One True Church. Pillar of Fire. Pillar of Truth.

@sleanos Fine, just be good. I was going to read my Bible today at work on my lunch. But I forgot. I just think of Christianity as more than a book or a building, or even people, same with Jesus, he is more than just some man, or a ghost with a human body, a full human body, that is still working. He is more, somehow than that. Then again, I died and came back last year.

@Gonegoodforever "light" just refers to the wisdom, knowledge and teachings found in the Word of God that people apply and do in their lives. There are degrees of goodness and degrees of badness and God calls us to be perfect and good and holy like Jesus. Sin is sin and is all the same to God of course. And yes God has a LOT to say against hypocritical Christians. Don't look at them though for examples of our faith. We are all only to look to Jesus as He is our example in all things.

@sleanos Ok, I don't get the thing about a light. None of them need light blubs for that sort of thing. Besides, I have seen alot of fake Christians on the top of society, bringing real ones down.

[sleanos]

@Gonegoodforever No argument there.We believe that as well.Bible teaches that God's people individually exist in every denomination/religious persuasion or lack there of (according to the light they've had)&He is calling all to repentance &faith in His Son, which leads to obedience out of of Love.That doesn't change the fact that Bible spoke of a remnant in Israel during their times in captivity to call the people back to Bible truth, and the same is happening as we near the2nd Coming of Christ.

[Gonegoodforever]

@sleanos But every demonination that follows the Bible, even the Catholic books is the body of Christ. As long as they follow that "Facts" are in the Bible and that has been found. Besides, just surrounding people who simply believe the same thing can be limiting and as a Christian community aren't we supposed to both take care and support each other and spread the Gospel.

[sleanos]

@Gonegoodforever God's true remnant church is described precisely in the Bible and so being in the right church is important because you want to be amongst a body of believers who are all on the same page as far as doctrinal understanding so that they/we may move forward together growing in grace.

[Gonegoodforever]

@sleanos Or you can go like me and just follow God. Denomination doesn't really matter, as long as they tell the Truth about life, God, Jesus, Hell, Heaven,Sin, and all the work God has done for Israel and the Jewish people from the Bible. Most of the time it isn't an issue, at least not in the Bible. Just make sure it is true and can be proven to be a fact, or have high probablity of one.

@liketheuniverse11 And read His Word (Bible) He will guide you.
