1 | Why is the Christian Church so divided? | Bible general Archive 4 | Cody Mac | 206338 | ||
Denominations? I am not sure why people think we need them, they are just dividers. If they were needed Jesus would have split his disciples up but instead he teaches that we are one body of Christ. Denominations are mans creation, someone at some time wanted to believe more strongly in certain parts of the Bible than others or in some cases they took it upon themselves to alter the Bible and what it says. Denomination is like religious racism, just like races clash so do denominations. 2 Timothy 2:24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient. This verse says a servant of God will not strive when confronted. He will be ready to calmly teach and defend his views becuase they are from God. So shouldnt two people if they are servants of God be able to talk about the Bible in agreement? Amos 3:3 Can two walk together except they be agreed? |

Cody Mac I agree that if two do not agree they cannot walk together. When looking at church history there seems to be a lot of times where differing beliefs dived men into different camps just like you say. Men have been willing to kill for what they believe, even those who called themselves Christian in the halls of history. I would not equate divisions over theology as the same as racial divide though. Races historically clashed over land and human rights issues, while churches clashed over matters of spiritual belief about how to practice being a Christian, or what entails being a Christian. blessings abound, bowler |
