DENOMINATIONS ARE A DIVISION DENOMINATIONS TALK BAD OF ANOTHER

True.

Here's an early example:

“you hate the deeds of the sect of Nic·o·láus, which I also hate.” (Rev 2:6, Jesus)

Should the apostles have just joined up with the sect of Nicolaus? Or any or all of the other sects that were forming?

[Cato]

Denominations are indicative of the lack of clarity in scripture. If the Bible was truly God's word and not that of men trying to guess same, then I would imagine that the truth therein would be more evident and we would have less division in interpretation.

Yes, and the more ambiguous and incomplete the source material discussed or debated, the more varied and diffuse the resultant views obtained from same will be. Incomplete and ambiguous religious scripture leads to a multiplicity of opinions, beliefs and subsequently denominations.

Hi Cato

I think the scritpures is a roadmap and is not incomplete or lacking!

This is why we have so many differences…

And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: “but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables“:

The writen scriptures are nothing but the dead letter of the word, and until the Spirit of God reveals the truths therein then you will only have chaos and confusion by carnal men with carnal minds trying to interpret them!

The end will declare who is of the truth. IMO.

Hi JN,
It will come back to belief in the Lord Jesus and obedience to the Word.
No oneness nonsense in the Word of God.

[Jesus name follower of Christ]

so then are you trinity oneness deuality or what nick ? not trying to argue but just curious:)

[NickHassan]

Hi JN,
Do you need a denominational label or is becoming a member of the body of Christ, entering the kingdom of God, not much more important?
Christ is not divided but the churches of men are.

That's the best one yet!

The 'church' here is divided.

What use is Jesus if the churches are so divided (spectacularly so, as it happens)?

Stuart

[Jesus name follower of Christ]

you dont need a lable but you need church

[NickHassan]

Hio JN,
So any old fellowship is fine so long as you fellowship?
What of 2 Jn9?

[Stu]

Or Deuteronomy 13:6-10.

You should stone non-believers…

…with stones!
