This is why I converted to Catholicism. Protestantism is much too fragmented and splintered. A ship with no rudder.

For a long time I thought it was a hinderance, but not anymore. By differences I would suggest that the foundation has to be the same, Jesus is Lord. Aside from that, it is preference.
When I was young I went to various denominations and each has their good points. I like the Baptist for their desire for souls for example, but I am not one. I like the order in some denominations, the view on missions in others, etc. You get my point.
I think many are uniting in terms of helping each other spread the gospel, but there will never be one big denomination. That would freak me out, because who would lead it, and how could a set of people be responsible enough not to let their role go their head? I think it would be a disaster.
Besides, I would find it freaky if all of us believed the same thing. That did not happen in the Bible.

I hate the differences in Christians denominations, as they cause disunity.
But I love the Christians. Yes, we should unite and help one another, however realistically this will not happen until Jesus judges the congregations, and gathers all thing together in himself. Rev. 2 and 3; John 11:52.

I dont like the whole difference in demonination thing.
God loves us all regardless. he doesnt say, "Hey they're Lutheran! i wont hear their prayers!
As a matter of fact, God commands us to have a unity within the church that is based on the union we have with Christ himself.
Romans 12:5
"so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others."
And plus, How can we say that we love God, but not love one another?
When we all get to heaven we will all worship together side by side, Lutheran, Pentcostal, Baptist, Methodist, so why must we be divided on earth?

It will never happen, you know why? Because if you unite, you will have to set up new guidelines and each of the groups will insist that their guidelines are right and everyone else is wrong, than next thing you know, there will be ANOTHER religious conflict and the whole thing will start over and another question like this will appear on answers.

One problem is that not everyone's "Jesus", "Gospel" & "Spirit" is equal. { I.E., 2Cor.11:4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.}
Assuming you have the Jesus of the NT, then by way of faith in "Christ and Him Crucified" we can unite, despite other lesser differences. All true Christian unity is Christo/cross centered. The drawing power of the Holy Spirit to unity always functions upon the basis of the finished work of the cross. All is loss without the cross.

I like the differences between the different styles of Christian worship just the way I like that we can buy jeans, business suits, silk pjs &c. There is something for everyone.
It is when the differences go beyond the surface and people start taking them seriously that the trouble happens.

Well the differences in Christian faith had happened because initially Christianity is an artificially created way of worshipping God ( and Jesus - but why??).
God made it happen as everything is as per HIs will

As far as I'm concerned Christians are united, I don't care if your EV Free, Baptist, Pentecostal, Anglican, Lutheran, Catholic, Nazarene, Salvation Army, Covenant, we're all on the same team, we're all brothers and sisters in Christ.
Mormons, Jehovah's Witness's and Seventh Day adventists are of course not Christian.

Each one of us has what is known as free Agency in choosing what we want to believe in and that is a major strong thing that I am for and agree with all the way I myself am Mormon and that is my choice of the relidgon Belief regardless if People dis like it is not any of my concerns thus that of what People may have to say about any relidgon is their right and it is their own opinion thus as the old saying go's opinions are like behinds every one of us on this planet has one.
Thus not very many People really know or may not want to know about the relidgion thus that is why they Judge it thus as one scripture says : Judge not or ye will be Judged.
That is one of my favorite scriptures as well as many others are.

Truly we should all unite in our christian faith. That was the goal and intention of Paul, the disciple of Christ in his writings especially to the different churches of Asia.
