Do you think God is happy with the number of christian denominations?

Question

Personally I think this is just different ways of God leading people back to Him. Some people are more comfortable with the Protestant outlook, while others prefer the Catholic style, for example. In other words, ALL churches are part of Christ's Mystical Body (Yep, I'm a Catholic). What do YOU think?

Answer 1

I think the breaking up of Christ's Church into the various denominations was Satan's greatest victory. I ALSO believe that God USED that action to provide a variety of paths to Him that are still through Jesus. So now everyone can find their most comfortable path to Him with confidence.
So to Satan: HAH!

Answer 2

I personally don't like organized religion. There is too much corruption, greed and pride involved whenever you get a large group of people together. Instead of a church, like the traditional churches we have constructed in my lifetime, I say we should return to the roots of Christianity and have services and bible studies in our homes. That way there would be no monies needed for upkeep of the church or having a parsonage or keeping members of the clergy employed. I don't know how many times I have heard people say "I am moving and starting a church," or where I have read "We started this church with only five members and now it numbers .....," or other such things. It makes it sound like they are starting a business rather than a church.
I think the reason why there are so many demoninations is for some of the reasons I stated above. Pride, arrogance, greed. However others really believe theirs is the true way. There are probably thousands of different demoninations each with their own way of doing things. The main thing is they should all be honoring God. If they aren't then the judgement will fall upon them.

Answer 3

so some distance as i comprehend, the only people who have self belief in Heaven are Christians and Muslims. Islam is obviously a pretend, made-up faith, meaning that if there's a Heaven, Muslims are not to any extent further proper off than atheists. certainly, a stable case would be made that Muslims are worse off than atheists, because of the fact Muslims declare that they settle for the Bible as a holy e book, yet in spite of that they reject Christ as their Lord and Savior. So, if there's a Heaven, the two that's full of all varieties of persons, which contains atheists, or that's filled in effortless terms with Christians.

Answer 4

I've always had this little mental picture I cook up whenever I think of all the different denominations. Imagine if Jesus came back down, and he asked you how his religious followers were doing in today's world. You pick up a phone book, turn to the yellow pages under "churches-religious organizations" and show him the hundreds (thousands in a big city) of listings. I just picture him shaking his head in frustration, saying: "No, no--this IS NOT what I had in mind when I sent Peter out to look after my sheep!" Think of it: each denomination with their own rules and dogma, and many of them thinking that if you don't believe in their way you have no chance at salvation. Jesus was a man of simplicity when it came to following the Word; he had no patience for Pomposity, evidenced by his continual fuedding with the Pharisees.

Answer 5

Your questions is like saying" do you think Santa Claus is happy with all the different shopping mall Santa's?
Please read, go back and question your faith. Ask all the pertinent questions that any reasonable person would ask when presented with such preposterous bullsh*t. How can you believe in the Christian mantra and reject Greek and Roman mythology? How can you dismiss Zeus and not dismiss Noah? How can you believe in something that was just handed to you probably by ignorant parents or grand parents. Go back and read. Look up Mesopotamia and see the same stories that you find in the bible written thousands of years earlier. If you still believe, ignorance is bliss.

Answer 6

God is one, the truth is one, the Church is one
In the year 1332AD, the Antichrist is manifested through a radical attack on the faith in the word of God. Through the philosophers who begin to give exclusive value to science and then to reason, there is a gradual tendency to constitute human intelligence alone as the sole criterion of truth. There came to birth the philosophical errors which continue through the centuries down to these days of ours. The exaggerated importance given to reason as an exclusive criterion of truth, necessarily leads to the destruction of the faith in the word of God Indeed, with the Protestant Reformation, traditions is rejected as a source of Divine Revelation, and only Sacred Scripture is accepted. But even this must be interpreted by means of reason, and the authentic Magisterium of the hierarchical Church, to which Christ has entrusted the guardianship of the deposit of the faith, is obstinately rejected. Each one is free to read and to understand Sacred Scripture according to one 's personal interpretation. In this way, faith in the word of God is destroyed. The work of the Antichrist, in this period of history, is the division of the Church and the consequent formation of new and numerous Christian sects which gradually become driven to a more and more extensive loss of the true faith in the word of God.

Answer 7

No I don't think He likes it but God will pluck out of each denomination those who He will choose to be in His kingdom. When they are born-again or saved by faith then they become apart of the one and only true Church which has no building. There is only one truth, one God, one Gospel. And in the last days it is mentioned in Revelations that a multitude of people will come forward to Christ saying "We have prophesied in your name, we have cast out demons in your name, we have done all of these and more in your name" and He will say to them, "Depart from Me workers of wickedness, I NEVER knew you". Never means never.These people are thinking that they were Christians. They were doing everything they mentioned in Jesus's name. They followed a false Christian religion which preaches a false Christ or "another" christ and it looks like the real gospel but it is an imitation. Satan is clever. He tricked these people into another gospel. But God was fair and showed Himself to them but they didn't recognize Him. They only accepted what they believed to be the gospel. They perish for lack of knowledge. They aloud these evangelists, popes and other false teachers to tell them what the word meant instead of the Holy Spirit.

Answer 8

Probably not, If you REALLY loved each other, you would be ONE.

Makes it look like your god is not really talking to any of you. If he is, he's giving you all thousands of different ideas of what's right and wrong. If you can't agree with EACH other, how can someone agree with YOU.

When I hear one unified voice from you, maybe I'd be able to hear you.

Answer 9

I don't believe that God would be unhappy as long as we accept Jesus Christ as our personal savior, follow our commandments, and know that He is the one and only God. So no matter what denomination you are, as long as you follow his word, He would be satisfied. I am not God and cannot even begin to judge how He thinks though.

Answer 10

The Bible says that God will put it into the minds of the world's governments to destroy all of the false religions. That is the first visible act of Armegeddon (God's war on the wicked).
