Bible Question:
What are the main reasons for all the different denomiations in Christianity? Is it disagreement over beliefs, or is it related to something else? Do all Christians share the fundamental belief of the Trinity? I guess I would have to say I belong to the Sunni muslims, the biggest group, Sunni comes from the word Sunna meaning the words and actions of Prophet Muhammad, meaning I should be studying his life and following his example. I believe that if I follow the original teachings, I will be on the right path. I dont believe in a free lunch, so no I dont have the assurance I will be in heaven. Its upto God to decide :) Isa |
Bible Answer: Greetings Isa! Thanks for the response! There are quite a few denominations among Christians. Most of them differ on minor points of theology or practice. However, most of them are also united in Christ. While we differ on minor points, we also consider one another brothers and sisters in Christ. There are a few exceptions. Concerning the Trinity, I would say probably about 99 percent of those who claim to be Christian hold to the doctrine of the Trinity and have since the beginning of the church. Concerning a free lunch, we also don't believe in a free lunch. Our salvation is offered to us freely, but it cost Christ His life. He has already decided that all who call upon Him shall be freely saved. In Christ, Tim Moran |
