Because they all split from the Church Jesus established and placed into Peter;s hands, the Catholic Church. So now they each have their own little sect and their own interpretation of the bible.

Because you will find that people will either leave a certain church if the preacher preaches against something they like to do. They will then find a church or form a church that fits how they want to live their lives without any repercussions. It is all about how I want to live and act, not about how God wants me to live and act. That is how so many denominations have gotten started. Somebody gets mad at this and leaves and takes half a congregation with them and then goes off there and start their own "church".

Because people dont really worry about what God wants from them, they worry about how much they can give to God , so they find a church that asks of there congregation exactly what that person is willing to give,not what they are asked of God. Its all about your convictions and what you believe, not any one religion is the right religion for every one, there will be all kinds of people from different religions in heaven, not just one religion will go.

It's simply a description of an early church community. We stopped living communally within a hundred years and we began diversifying in the 10th century. It's just an expression of religious freedom. Different people have different interpretations; what's wrong with that?

They all interpret the bible differently. If they twist a bit here and there, it can say whatever they want it to say.

There is only one true christian faith and church! The faith in Jesus Christ as our lord and savior. The true church "the body
of believers", there is no mention in the bible of any other seperate church.
God bless
