Bible Question:
If there is one spirit why is there so many interpretation of the Word of God; and why is there so many denominations. Wouln't that mean that christ is a polygamist if he embraces all of them. Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wive............(read)not plural. |
Bible Answer: P.S. You posted this twice? YOU SAID: “If there is one spirit why is there so many interpretation on the Word of God; and why is there so many denominations. “ You are assuming they are all interpreting the Scripture from the viewpoint of the Word of God and His Spirit. Trace the history of the churches, denominations and such and you will be very surprised how many “false theologies” did not find their beginning in the text of Scripture, but in a cult…….i.e. the unknown tongue of 1 Cor 14 may be traced back to the Tower of Babel (see thread on this) dispensationalism may be traced back to the Tongues movement and automatic handwriting….and the list goes on…. There is a difference between exegesis (rightly dividing the Word of God) and “I”sogesis (assuming your mind and thoughts upon the text). YOU SAID “Wouln't that mean that christ is a polygamist if he embraced all of them churches. Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wive............(read)not plural. I only have one wife. Christs has many wives(churches) is that possible.” There is only ONE true CHURCH and not many churches. Christ’s true CHURCH (sing) is in many churches (Pl). No one denomination has “all” the saved without exception in it (there are tares among the wheat in every church…..and here I speak of evangelical churches not the cults...). There is one bride and One Lord, Christ died for His Church and nothing more and it is The Church that will rise to be with Him in the end…… |
