Thinking in historical terms of time the Christian church has been splinter into smaller and smaller pieces since it began.

All of these splinters makes one assume that the wood is weak and falling apart. It started long before the Anglican church. It started with the earliest protestants rightly protesting the Catholic church.
By the time the middle ages came around, all of the authority and power that Jesus has conferred to the apostles had been lost. You see God would never leave His church to earthly monarchs pretending to be Christian.
God chooses only people who have been tried and tested and He knows He can count on them before he gives them the power and authority to lead and guide His church. When the people kill off the prophets, the church is already deep into apostasy and has by then lost the authority God gave the church and is then replaced with man's own limited wisdom.
This "human wisdom" lead us to things such as calling people like Newton and Galileo blasphemous.

The Christian church has consistently had believers who held to classic ideals, and others who had their very own interpretation. The historic previous of the early Church is a historic previous of many heresies. the vast split got here visiting one thousand years in the past, between the Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church. over the final years, countless Protestant communities persisted to interrupt off for countless reasons. Henry VIII for political reasons, Luther initially called interest to corruption interior the Church, then desperate to discovered his very own church. The lesson found out is, whilst human beings interpret scripture, quite than the Church, the end result's many diverse church homes. Islam lacks a significant authority, like the Pope. it is well-known alongside the congregational kind, person Muslims following the instructions of countless non secular pupils. So, Muslims are in an analogous difficulty. I examine someplace that Islam replaced into initially seen a Christian heresy. it is using the fact Christianity and Islam have so plenty greater in trouble-free, than they have in what divides them.

I think fragmentation and division within the church are the precursors to the total collapse of Christianity.

Honestly, it divides the Christian community as a whole.

I think it is sad!That is the reason I believe the Holy Roman Catholic Church is the place for me.

I think you're using the term "Christian" loosely!

As long as God is being worshipped, I'm fine with it.
