Bible Question:
WHY DO WE BELONG TO A CERTAIN CHURH INSTEAD OF GOING FROM CHURCH TO CHURCH. SECOND QUESTION WHY DO WE HAVE SO MANY CHURCHES INSTEAD OF ONE. |
Bible Answer: OMOIFE - A reading of the book of Acts strongly suggests that early Christians tended to identify themselves with local churches who met at regular intervals at a specific place. One has only to think how ineffective it would be to carry on the Lord's work if every Christian including pastors and other church leaders were perpetual floaters who bounced around from church to church all the time. What an organizational and logistical nightmare that would be. ..... Your second question asks why we have so many churches instead of one? Well, we have too many people to fit into one church, I suppose. :-) ..... Obviously you're asking about denominations and why there are so many of them. This is too large a question to be tackled within the space limitations of a forum post. Why don't you visit your public or church library, or a Bible bookstore, and ask for help in selecting resource material on the origin and history of denominations. There is no shortage of material that can enable you to broaden your knowledge and understanding of this subject. Learning about other communions may indeed give you a broader perspective on your own. It's a worthwhile study. It's truly astonishing how many professing Christians have little idea of the origin and history of their own communion, much less of any other. --Hank |
