non-denominational churches all teaching something different from each other? How does that reflect 'one Lord, one faith, one baptism'?

The so-called "non-denominational" churches aren't truly non-denominational. If they were, they'd reflect practices from the full spectrum of Christianity, including Orthodox, Catholic and Anglican rites. But they don't. I've visited many of these churches, and none of them would feel comfortable with my sitting there and praying the rosary. So they are denominational, regardless of their claims, in the sense that they're clearly of the Protestant Evangelical (and often Fundamentalist) persuasion. But they're all seemingly autonomous, and are not involved with one another to any serious degree, so they can teach whatever they like. They're not generally held accountable to a larger convention or organization for their doctrine.

Why are there so many denominational churches teaching something different?
How can scholars from different denominations, read the exact scripture and come to different conclusions...which is correct, which is wrong?

Because man is not seeking Gods truth, he seeks want he wants to hear. Only way you can know the real truth is to seek God Himself. When we have a real desire to seek Him, we seek the sciptures, and His Spirit shows us the truth. It is all in the desire for the truth of the way God sees things. Willing to put our ways aside to know the truth. Reading the bible with an open mind and heart.

They all have their own interpretation of the bible.
Apparently twisting 'God's word' is pretty easy to do.

Because Christianity and the Bible is complicated and people have a lot of differences of opinion. And, that's o.k.

They have lost the truth and don't know where to find it.

All of the other ones are wrong. There is only one right answer, but the mystery will not be revealed until Jesus comes to rapture the Mormons.
