Why Are There So Many Denominations In Religions Especially Christianity ? by sKeetz(m): 11:55pm On Apr 03, 2018 |
Religions like Christianity claim they worship one true god, YAHWEH. They also claim that the Bible contains the word of god inspired by the holy spirit but what I find amusing is that they find it difficult to agree on basic doctrines such as the trinity which are the bedrock of the christian faith. This gives rise to numerous denominations which keeps springing up every day. Each denomination hates the other and are always at logger heads. You can see their debates and arguments everywhere even here on nairaland. Can anyone explain this or is the holy spirit a spirit of confusion and chaos?? 2 Likes 1 Share |

sKeetz:To identify the true Christians you need to read about Jesus and carefully study His comments on every issue,by so doing you'll be able to identify the group following His footsteps. As for many different religions claiming Christian it's because every nation around the east have realized that Israelites have a God that's invincible so they're all trying to relate with the God of Israel! Even Arabs who are eternal enemies of Israelites are also trying to relate with the God of Israel,referring to all ancient faithful Israelites as prophets and insisted on calling them in Arabic. But all these religions are different because they believe in their founders they revered as prophets "not Jesus" including Muslims who are following Muhammad(an Arabian who tried to copy the Catholic Church during the 6th century) 1 Like |

hopefulLandlord: That's your opinion and to be honest, its a silly opinion to have when looked at from a Christian perspective and a deluded one to have when looked at from an atheists persprctive especially since you talk more about this Jesus and Yahweh whom you say is imaginary than you do about yourselves. 1 Like |

Christianity is just so confusing. You can derive different meaning to verses or chapters in the bible and have other chapters and verses to back it up. Armed with this bibles verses/chapters, you can start your own denomination and win thousands of converts in no time. |

sKeetz:sorry to have sounded harsh, replying me was what I meant by engaging me. in Christianity diversities in ministry leads to what u tag as denominations because people are not the same everywere eg peter proclaimed Christ among Jews in Israel but Paul was commissioned to the gentiles,also spiritual gift are very essential in diversifying ministry.now ur atheistic outlook may make u laugh widely at this but nevertheless it is the truth. have an open mind look at ur world and u will discover that ur points for disregarding Christianity are not just good enough |

sKeetz:It's very simple, Jesus commissioned a task that after He's gone people later saw His followers and IDENTIFIED them by the task He commissioned in Antioch. So let's read how He gave them the work and what he said will happen to them if they're doing what He sent them in Matthew 10. Any religious group that are widely known for this act are those we should call Christians! We shouldn't forget that Satan confused Israelites with different forms of religion so that when the Messiah finally arrived they started criticizing Him and His followers because of what those religions have taught them! Satan is still very much around and his tactics the same, he just confuse people by initiating many religions in Jesus name(2Corinthians 11:13/14) but that single one belonging to Jesus will be treated exactly the way they treated Jesus' followers in the first century! So whoever wants to know them can read now and start looking at all those religions claiming Christian.

sKeetz:There are many denominations in christianity because the many who professed to be christians do not under this term "CHRISTIANITY" as captured in the title of this thread. Paul stated: What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul”; another, “I follow Apollos”;another, “I follow Cephas ”; still another, “I follow Christ.” Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul? 1 Corinthians 1:12,13 Paul continued.......God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things —and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him. It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.” If you under this then you know that Paul's idea of christianity do not involve denominations at all. 1 Corinthians 1: 27-31 |

When talking about the way to worship God, Christianity is like the ONLY original currency that can buy God's approval that's why Satan is busy increasing the counterfeit to deceive people so that with thousands of different religious groups claiming Christians nobody will know about the personality that God gave mankind as a role model to follow. Rather people will be confused by referring to those who are part of the counterfeits, but the only original group will suffer vilification because Satan will make people view them as evil,useless,worthless,foolish even abnormal. Matthew 10:22 One other thing is everywhere you'll hear people saying about Jesus' true followers "they love their members" John 13:35 |

sKeetz:So far on this thread you will have seen people choosing various denominations above the other. Is that not what Paul was correcting the christians living in Corinth not to do. Therefore, mans tendency to have some one to lead him and direct him as continually led men to choose leaders or stay under the various leadership of religious organization and denominations and continually raise their own denomination above the other. They have forgotten that only one is your leader....."Do not be called leaders; for One is your Leader, that is, Christ. Matthew 23:10. When you follow your leader you are a christian and you fall under the christian community that should not be breached by religious leaders of various denominations as rightly stated by Paul 1 Cor 1:10 - 17 |
