That is a completely fascist statement. I would be surprised if Adolph didn't try that statement out. The idea would be a living hell. A kingdom divided into many parts is called a democracy. If everyone believes in one supreme ruler than you have fascist totalitarian control. So really the people who actually believe in this heaven would be going to an Orwellian hell where you have the thought police, anti sex, league, and everything else under the sun. Have fun in hell Christians, you asked for it. No, the whole story is a tall tale and no one is going to that hell of a place they call heavon.

YES! They can't agree on a single thing except that the lies in the bible are infallable...if the bible were infallable, disagreement would be impossible. If God has one mind and is omnipotent, and if the people all have the mind of "Christ" shouldn't they all be thinking alike? Doesn't God have the power to make his will known to all people?
Stupid for there to be so many denominations and opinions about what God/christ wants.
Christianity is going to go the way of Greek and Roman mythology. Already it has morphed into something that is not recognizable as religion. Its a matter of time but it will be replaced by something that won't be any better.

There is no doubt that Christianity has become a splintered group but God promises there will be a remnant left which will keep His commandments and have the testimony of His Son.

Besure! God's Kingdom will forever stand. However, the kingdom is in the process of being built. It want be completed till the 1,000 year reign of Jesus.
In Matthew 25:32-33, Jesus says that "before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall "separate" them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
One day there will be a separating. People can call themselves, Christian. But, that dont make them a Christian.
Like the song says; It's not whats over the door of the church that you attend.. That makes you a child of God.
As the eyes of the Lord looks this world over, there's just one thing he's looking for. Cant you see that its whats in your heart, and not what over the door.
Remember: Religion is mans effort to reach God. Christianity, is God's effort to reach man.

It's not like that.
Christians all believe the core doctrines of the faith.
We may differ on smaller issues,such as what form of baptism used,communion,and the forms of church governance.
It's overly melodramatic to say that it's been splintering for over 1000 years and that it will soon collapse.

It has been splintering for far longer than that Jack.
I tend to think of it more like crabgrass dividing.

( Matthew 16:18 ) ....And on this Rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hell will not Overcome it. True christians are the church, our foundation is CHRIST, Faith in HIM is the KINGDOM...........(Matthew 24:14).....And this GOSPEL of the KINGDOM will be preached in the whole world as a TESTIMONY to ALL NATIONS, and then the END will come.
Revelation 11:15...The Kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ, and HE will reign forever......<>< <><

If you look around you, you will see what has happened. Because people have taken it upon themselves to interpret their own way and start churches accordingly, Christianity is falling far short of what it should have accomplished by this time. Christ did not start churches...nor did God command that churches be organized. Christs command was only that we bring his word and his promise to all people....not our word or our promises. It is time that Christians unite, not as one religion per se but as one belief and only one belief and that is that God is the father of us all and created all things, and Jesus is the Son of God and he died for our sins. It is only on those two issues that all Christians agree and it is time that they remember who they really need to be.

Being able to argue about our different views is certainly healthier than being tortured and killed for disagreeing with the official church position. We have a come a long way in the past few centuries.
