If Jesus is the only Saviour, why the Christians follow different churches according to their own interest?

Question

God is One. There is no division as per scriptures. But even the Christians who claim to be the Pastors / Evangelists / Leaders / Bishops / Fathers / etc., don't accept the way of preaching or worships done by the various churches across the world and on the contrary they say its against the will of God. Also, they don't even like their church members to participate in any of the events organized by the other churches. If this is what the real situation, how do they expect people belong to various other religions to be baptized / converted to their religion? The Bible clearly says and warns that he who preaches the word of God, should set an example to others, in all his or her activities. While this is the fact, do you say that everyone who preaches the word of God, follows the scriptures in his or her own life? What if, when they do or do not?

What's a sin? If a man / woman commits a sin, should he or she confess either to God or to the fellow Christian?

Answer 1

Though there are different churches, these churches are not teaching different Gods or Different Jesus Christs.

All these Churches are concerned with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Some people emphasis on certain doctrines these makes the form different churches.

Let this be known to you, there is only one true Church. This could not be seen by the world.
This is the Church of Christ that is the people that are saved by the Blood of Jesus Christ.

Allah is the cause of different denomination in Christianity.

Sura 5 : 14. ..............: so we estranged them, with enmity and hatred between the one and the other, to the day of judgment. ..........

&

1 Peter 5 : 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Sin is an action of doing or not doing any thing which God wants us not to do or to do.
We confessed Jesus Christ by witnessing the congregation (Fellow Christians) saying I accept Jesus Christ as my Personal savior and Lord.

So its no problem to confess the sins to fellow christians. Confessing sins to fellow Christians never mean to ask for pardon.

James 5:16
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

Answer 2

I think of it as someone describing America, but only from the perspective of where they live. If I don't accept the fact that there isn't always snow on the ground in January, in every part of the country, then I can't accurately describe America.

God is deep and wide. There is much to him. He is mysterious in many ways. Some folks have a better understanding in some areas then others, and vice verse.

It is sad when we start putting road blocks up between denominations, for some of the things we do - I heard that in the 70's, a church split over a painting of Adam and Eve. Half thought they should have navels, the other didn't.

Paul lays out some guidelines for churches, that he thinks make good sense. Some agree with Paul on every point, some don't.

Answer 3

If you go to any Church for any other reason than to Worship The Lord and bring Honor and Glory to His Holy Name , then you are going to Church for the wrong reason !! You can determine the true Christian from a fake one simply by observing if they are living the teachings of Christ just as Christ has instructed ! What is a sin ? A sin is breaking Gods` Moral Laws , also ; disobeying His Commandments !! You confess your sins to God , your fellow Christians son didn`t die for your sins.

Answer 4

Sin is disobedience to God and the result is that we can not be His presence.

If a person sins in his heart, he needs to repent and confess their sin to God and turn from their sin. Depending on the sin, it may help for a fellow believer to carry the burden with him so he might not be tempted again.

A Christian is someone that follows Christ. If a person doesn't read the Bible and try to live as God requests them too, I would struggle calling them a Christian. As well, I would struggle with anyone who pastors, evangelizes, etc. that doesn't care about God's Word.

The Bible is called the "canon" which was a measuring tool... the bible is to measure what God expects of us as followers of Him... It also details a wonderful gift of salvation.

We are not in agreement because we are fallible in our complete understanding of all that is in the Bible and so divisions on HOW to practice things in our era are of major dispute.

But some simply don't care about God's Word and they are pseudo-churches. With a fancy name and a fancy steeple but no heart for God himself.

Answer 5

Different people beleive different things. They take one verse from the Bible and say it means one thing, then someone else takes the same verse and say it means somthing else.

To answer your question (What's a sin? If a man / woman commits a sin, should he or she confess either to God or to the fellow Christian?), You should confess your sins to God through prayer. Priests are not the only ones who can pray. You can pray too.

Answer 6

Sin is being outside the grace of God. Jesus commanded his disciples to forgive one another's sins and in fact told his disciples to do so often. It is better to hear from another human being(priest) that one is forgiven of his/her sins. How will you know that God forgives you or is it only wishful thinking on your part? Confession is good.

One good way to find the true church is to go back in history. What Church was founded by Christ-God himself? And not by humans who deny authority of the one true Church? Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out which church is 2,000 years old. Many denominations sprout like mushrooms because man wants to be his own god. Many think they have the right religion. They deny the governing body of the Church. They want to have beliefs which please themselves. Even in the New Testament, divisions in Churches existed. Paul told them that the Church is one and that we should not cling to Apollo, or Peter, or Paul or whichever preacher. The body of Christ is ONE. THe Church should be ONE, holy, catholic, and apostolic.

Answer 7

Most of the churches are in unity and all bibles point to Jesus and say He is the Son of God, the Savior of the world and gives eternal life. Ive been a church hopper for many years going to different churches, they are very close and I dont argue the small stuff. Just go to a bible believing church and keep it simple. One that does what the bible says.
A sin is a transgression of the law, going against Gods commandments. His commandments are not really hard to keep and He is a forgiving God if you make mistakes once in a while. Just dont live in the sin. Dont live with your girlfriend and fornicate daily, for example.... You should confess all sin to God and if you want to others especially you sinned against someone and you need to tell them and ask for forgiveness. God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins.
So we are Christians and the church name is not important, its just the style of worship. Gospel, old hymns, contemporary.... you can sing to God and it is praising Him no matter the music. Kneel in church, stand up, sit down, it doesnt matter. We are there to fellowship and worship God. Wear dresses, shorts near the beach.....there are many lifestyles, many races, many countries, many cultures, many ages, many economic variences..... its all the same God. He expects you to worship in truth and spirit. Keep it simple. God bless

Answer 8

to make a long answer short. the standards of the bible are clear and correct. but not everybody chooses to follow them. Those people will have alot to answer for in the last days. Hopefully by seeing flawed humans it will attract other flawed humans to GOD and not just to the minister. When we blow it (and we all blow it) we should confess to God and to a fellow christian. Try talking about how you are really doing with a friend and see if it doesn't help. now my question for you. are you looking for answers or excuses? God has provided both for you in the bible. If you truly seek him you'll find answers. but if your looking for excuses you'll probably find that too.

Answer 9

God is one ,
and there is only one way to god , your free soul.
all religions are man made , to use that relationship between you and god for many different reasons . like generals of the army using Soldiers to win there war for them by using mens love to there country.
you can get what ever you dream of , after theu win or after you die ! , just do as told without thinking , thinking is dangerous to all of them .

jesus is not the saviour , the one true God is the only saviour.
jesus was send to tell us and teach us how we could get that salvation .
not salvation from sins , only salvation from all man made religions and scriptures !

jesus was the christ , the king of the kingdom of god , the kingdom of heaven , the kingdom of free souls and pure hearts. he is god salvation ( even the translation of his name say it loud and clear ! ) , but not the saviour .

whenever you see many religions or sects in the world , you know that all that got nothing to do with god. the one and only creator and saviour .

Answer 10

As long as religion is a source of power and money, you'll have new ones all the time. The present number of religions with all their sects is 1500 different ones.
