In your opinion, is there only one correct denomination of Christianity?

Question

If Catholics, Anglicans, Baptist, JW's, Lutherans, Methodists....etc are all Christians......why are there so many labels?

Answer 1

There isn't a "right" one. Every one of them has their own little rules that don't coincide with the bible, or the Lord's word. Isn't it enough to be a christian? Religions are full of agendas and politics. I don't believe in any of them. But I am a christian, and I do believe in God. I don't believe however, that if I don't guess at the specific religion that is right, and choose a "wrong" one, that I'm going to hell. And hell....not even sure if I believe in that....Our loving, forgiving God, sending us to a lake of fire for eternity? Funny how that isn't really mentioned until 90% of the bible is thru, and it suddenly pops up in the new testament. Think maybe it was an idea created to scare us into believing? Into donating money, and supporting the political agendas of the "pharisees?"

Answer 2

The word denomination is not even in the bible. There is only one body of Jesus Christ consisting of all believers who meet in different fellowships because of distance, locations or size, etc. Denominations are not God's idea but are created by men who wanted to do church in different ways. If Christians obey all God's truth by the direction of the Holy Spirit to run their churches or fellowships then God's will for the unity of the faith will be fulfilled and there no longer be denominations(Ep 4:13)

Answer 3

No.
Because when there is only one of any organization, it becomes a monopoly, and ceases to serve people. There must be more than one so people can choose another if one becomes too "off base" and ceases to "feed the lambs".
Genesis 11:5-9
5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. 6 The Lord said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other." 8 So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9 That is why it was called Babel--because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
Joh 21:15 -
When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me more than these?" "Yes, Lord," he said, "you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Feed my lambs."

Answer 4

My, Dear to have many labels is not the factor. This is man-made system. The goal of God is not to establish many religion sectors but to be the member of the holy kingdom through Jesus Christ. In the bible there is a phrase " those who will be in the heaven are not casted upon religion, clan, education, poor or rich...etc. However, in order to be the follower of Jesus christ you should have to hear the Good News from evangelist, that person and others should get to gather and give a name to their organization. Therefore, the main point is not the organization but the way that you have treated to be active and all rounded christian. Jesus christ, he him self did not preach about religion rather he glorifies the power full, strength of God, and to have healthy relationship with every creature of God.

Answer 5

No denomination is the correct one. Each is flawed in it's own unique way. Some more than others, though. I do believe that one day all believers will realize that the denomination game is a work of satan, keeping God's children apart. I am going to bible school, with hopes of building tha church. A church where all parts of the Body will join together as one, to glorify Him.

Answer 6

According to the Holy Bible, you are supposed to be Christian. Christians follow the word of God and Jesus Christ.

The word religion is from the Greek word religio, which means to hold back, keep down and restrain. That is exactly what the religions of the world have done to us as a people. They have held us back, kept us down and weakened us as a people by dividing us up into different religions and nationalities

I Corinthians 1:10-13 says:
“Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. Is Christ divided? …”

So based upon this very scripture in The Holy Bible it can be clearly seen that Jesus Christ never set up these religions that our people are now divided by, such as Baptist, Methodist, Catholics, Anglicans, Lutherans, Methodists etc. What God gave us to follow is His laws and commandments, found in The Holy Bible, to hold us back and restrain us from evil.

Too many denominations created this demon nation.

Answer 7

Two places I know of in the Bible, God said his church was " The House of prayer", when the curtain in the temple in Jerusalem was torn, which the Christ's death on Calvary, as foretold enabled the old testament ways to end and the priest was no longer needed to pass along your prayer and all could pray together to God directly.The church is for a gathering of followers as it was said it is a good thing that Christians stick together and congregate for strength in unison. It was intended I feel but for 1 church only. I disagree as well the American flag or any nation's flag belongs behind any pulpit, it is God's house, not for pledging an allegiance to any nation or it's flag. Separation of church and state? Then what purpose is the flag there?

Answer 8

I do not like to use the word "religion." For that is mans attempt in their best efforts to get right with God. Many different demoninations, or practices, that people follow that makes them feel like they can get in "good standing" with our creator. Thats why there are so many conflicts between these "religions" and people are fighting over it. Thats the result of tainting God's plan. We forget the reason Jesus came and died for us! He came so that we would have the true way back to the Father, and that He would establish the TRUE way of living. Thus, Christianity, which means Christ-like or little-Christ, is NOT a religion but merely the lifestyle of Christ that we are to replicate. Not by our own efforts, but made possible by the Holy Spirit in a relationship with Jesus Christ. Accept His Gift of salvation and experience the life of abundance. May the Lord Bless You Abundantly!!!

Answer 9

The same can be said for Judaism and all the other beliefs. Humans tend to make their own paths, because it is too inconvenient to follow just one.

Perhaps what you should be asking yourself is this.

Jews were the first people of God, but he warned they would fall away from his teachings. That began in the time of Moses.

Christians were the second people of God, but he warned they would soon fall away from his teachings. That began in the time of the Apostle Paul, who felt be had worked for nothing.

Since three represents perfection, and these are the last days, what group listed or not listed above now depicts the final people of God who will survive Armageddon?

Answer 10

If you want to go further, check out the by-laws of the denomination of the Church, Yes there are many labels, due to the by-laws they have to go by, Not the WORD OF GOD.
So when people get away from the by-laws of man and start looking for the laws of God and living by them, everyone will be confused.
