Was walking down a small street in Lagos recently and was able to count more than 100 churches of different denominations.
My question is why so many factions in the kingdom of God? If we are following one Holy Bible and it is infalliable why different factions with different teachings of the same message and despite the proliferation of religious houses why is there so much wickedness and corruption in the land?

Please consider my response to a similar subject:

blackcat1:
I rephrase my last sentence

We need to rediscover our true ancestral God or gods. Only then can we find peace and progress.

I believe you need to discover Jesus Christ so you can have Personal peace and progress. For National Peace and Progress, what Nigeria need in is forensic righteousness. in her polity.

My Premise: Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people. prov 14:34

Allow me to expound:

Their are 2 aspects of righteousness in the bible:
1. Imputed righteousness - This is purely mystical, it is the regeneration of a man's spirit into a child of God when he accepts Jesus Christ has his Lord and Savior. - This is what you need to have peace and personal progress.

2. Forensic righteousness - This is making decisions in line with absolute moral standards. This moral standard is derived from the 3 aspects of God's Character - Holiness, Love, and Justice. This is what any institution or country need to have peace and progress.

In practical terms,
Holiness is translated to Integrity, Accountability.
Love - Empathy, Compassion
Justice - Equity, Fairness

Countries with forensic righteousness in their polity are making progress, religious or not e.g Japan, Isreal, etc.

Countries without forensic righteousness in their polity are failing, in spite of the numerous churches e.g Nigeria.

Because going to church doesnt translate to true christianity. Their are few true practising christian

take a look at this scriptures below and see:

"For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works." (2 Corinthians 11:13-15).

What do you expect from ^^^ such then?

Because 80% of so called Christians are following MEN and not Christ !

Two questions ;

1. What is church ?

2. The Christians in the early church turned the old world upside down, even kings feared these men of GOD. Why can the present day Christians not turn their village or street upside down, talk less of the world.

So how do we know the real church? Why is there a proliferation of churches and religious houses yet the land is so dirty and corrupt?
Honest answers please.

"And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12).

^^^ Love of the truth is the key.

What is truth?

"Sanctify them through thy "truth" : thy word is truth. " (John 17:17).
(thy word is recorded in the bible)

your love of the truth means you have to take in the knowledge of God.

"this means ETERNAL life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God and of Jesus christ whom whom thou has sent"
(John 17:3).

(everlasting life = take in knowledge)

take a bible study and keep on asking a lot of questions.
