It was never God's intent of there being so many different religious denominations. It is time for us to all come together and worship in unison. I am calling for everyone to worship and praise God at non-denominational churches. The Prophet has spoken.

Because in the beginning there was only no religious denominations. Just men and women who loved and praised God.

The fact that we are here proves there is a God.

Good for you I am glad you have come to this relisation! Acording to the baha'i faith there are so many religions because of progressive revilation. Humans are gods children, as we get older as a species we grow and develop speritualy. its like speritual evloution. In order to facilitate the speritual growth of mankind god sends Prophets. You are right the Phrophets have spoken, many times, the most recent was Baha'u'llah. He said All religions should unite because they are all from the same source of devine insperation. In other words all religions are from the same god. He also brought alot of other new teachings which society seems to have been picking up and not even knowing that the changes like equality, and abolition of slavery just to name a few. The new message came in the mid 1800's in persia what is now iran. Oh and we don't need clergy anymore so the term church is dated. If I were you I would investigate the baha'i faith, it might give you some insight.

That is the difference between God and man.
God profits from belief, man profits from religion.
Believing in God is not suppose to be a religious experience, but a fellowship.

The One God allows the religions to proliferate because he wants to "catch" all of us with some level of his law, because as much truth as we follow, we'll be blessed for it.
An ancient prophet once taught, "The Lord doth grant unto all nations, of their own nation and tongue, to teach his word, yea, in wisdom, all that he seeth fit that they should have".
Another, "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights".
Because a person doesn't confess "Jesus" with his mouth, does that mean he's not earnestly following God? Jesus once taught that between two people, one who said he would obey and then didn't, and the other who said he wouldn't obey and then did, the one who actually obeyed had done better.
Yes, the ideal is to obey in both word and deed, and different religions receive (or reject) different amounts of God's law. But so it is with all those who cleave to this or that religion because of the sundry good principles within them -- those are the very laws of Jesus, but by other names, and God is happy if they're followed.
Therefore we have every level of truth in our religions here, so that those who don't believe the entirety can still be blessed in part. Instead of demonstrating God's incompetence, different religions show his extreme patience to men.

Different people prefer to worship God in different ways. You don't have the exact same conversation with all of your friends or have the same type of relationship with all of them, cause some of them act different so you act different with different people. Everyone expresses love in their own way. Somehow this warped idea came across that if you don't love God the same way that the standard doctrine tells you too then you are a different religion. I'm all for the non-donominational church.

Mankind was given free will to think as they chose. Without it we will still be siting in caves rubbing two sticks together to keep warm. There is no bad religion. There are only hateful people in all religions who want to inflate their egos by bashing the others.
The root of all religion, God is love." End of story!

I'm tired of hearing it's because of doctrinal reasons spanning back hundreds of years ago. That's all hogwash.
The reason is because it's a money racket, and the more denominations they have, the less obvious is the fraud and fleecing operation they have going on. Same thing with the banks.
One Lord, One faith, One baptism. Period.

People created all these religions, not God. But my answer would be...because there are so many different kinds of people.
Sorry...I don't see you as a Prophet, but good try.

you are most right. because in Islam we believe in only one God and one God only. we give Him no partner because He told us also not to. but we seem to be the only ones who listen. what separates us, is that religions have there own versions of God. only God is the Al - Know, Al - Seer
