Answer 1

Did you know that this is a problem we've had for endless centuries? Our fundamental belief is the same, so we can all call ourselves Christians- however, the Bible has been interpreted so many ways that everyone has different opinions. It's not like we don't want to be unified- but no one is willing to change or even compromise because many faiths are ancient.

Answer 2

The Gospel was sent first to the Jews, then to Gentiles. Jewish traditions were observed by the Church with modifications that suited Christ's teachings. As the Gospel spread more cultures were encountered, and these cultures all took the same Gospel in their current lifestyles. All Christians profess that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God, who died on the cross and was raised from the dead to save man from sin. Each congregation was autonomous and united by the Spirit of God and guided by the Apostles as eye witnesses of all things.
Through the course of later history some congregations expanded to other communities and remained united for their efforts to be more affective. Some congregations united because of differences in doctrinal teachings. Other sects grew simply because of their appeal to the masses. These united groups are what we call denominations.
God doesn't really care if I wear yellow clothing or if I wear green. He doesn't mind if my understanding of all matters of doctrine is perfect or sorely lacking. He wants me to worship Him in Spirit and in truth. He looks upon the heart of all men. At the core of all Christian congregations is the belief and understanding that Jesus died for our salvation.

The eight listed items is a little mixed up.
Protestantism is a grouping of denominations other than Catholicism.
Restorationism is a movement rather than a denomination.

Answer 3

The truth about that is that it's going to take Jesus Himself to make that happen. God will answer the prayer of Jesus in John 17, it will be in his time and Jesus, of course, knows this.

You know what else? Read Zechariah 14. You will see something that hasn't happened yet. Whoever is left, will HAVE to come to Jerusalem once a year, no matter where they live, or suffer a plague.

Do you think that there will be ANYONE with another religion then?


I don't think so!

Answer 4

Christian is a basic set of believes, ie the 10 commandments. It is one of the several things that all those religions have in common as well as the belief in quote "god " and his son and the holy spirit.

But aside from that they also have different beliefs.

but simply put christian is unbrella idea or spiritual belief/religion

ETA: no religion is wrong, they are all right in their thoughts and beliefs, bottom line they all lead to the same God just different names and looks

Answer 5

The original Christian Church founded by Jesus Christ for all mankind is still united in belief and united in worship just as it was 2,000 years ago. It is only unauthorirized manmade denominational religion that has fragmented into thousands of conflicting sects, just as you would expect, once removed from the Church with a divine guarantee of truth. Christ realized that you cannot have truth without unity, and that you cannot have unity without genuine authority. That is why He placed full authority in the leaders of His Church, and especially in the hands of one man, to whom He gave the keys to the kingdom, the universal symbol of supreme authority. Once proud men rejected the God-given authority of His Church and decided that their new authority would be a book compiled under the authority of the same Church whose authority they were rejecting, doctrinal chaos and ongoing fragmentation were sure to follow. The Bible tells us that the Church Christ founded is "the pillar and foundation of truth". This is a powerful analogy. We know what happens to a structure once you remove its pillars and foundation. It quickly warps and weakens, and eventually collapses. That is precisely what has happened to the truth within Protestantism, in direct violation of the stated will of God, "that they all may be ONE".

Answer 6

Matthew 7: 13 through 29 answers that.

Answer 7

God gave us the truth that unifies, but man-made laws and religion have drawn us apart. *shrug* With 2000 years of history, I can't say I'm surprised.

But like others have said, our core beliefs are the same - how we understand them and word them and practice them in the modern world can be very different.

Answer 8

Who says Christians are unified? No religion is. All have demoniations. These categories are all from different eras. ANABAPTISMS were in the late 1700's.

Read the bible and see who's right.

Answer 9

Being Christian is not a religion. It only means that you recognize Jesus as your savior and Lord. And that you will do your best to be one in spirit, in character and in faith with Him and the Creator.

Answer 10

From the Catechism of the Catholic Church -

Wounds to unity

817 In fact, "in this one and only Church of God from its very beginnings there arose certain rifts, which the Apostle strongly censures as damnable. But in subsequent centuries much more serious dissensions appeared and large communities became separated from full communion with the Catholic Church - for which, often enough, men of both sides were to blame."269 The ruptures that wound the unity of Christ's Body - here we must distinguish heresy, apostasy, and schism270 - do not occur without human sin:

Where there are sins, there are also divisions, schisms, heresies, and disputes. Where there is virtue, however, there also are harmony and unity, from which arise the one heart and one soul of all believers.271

818 "However, one cannot charge with the sin of the separation those who at present are born into these communities [that resulted from such separation] and in them are brought up in the faith of Christ, and the Catholic Church accepts them with respect and affection as brothers . . . . All who have been justified by faith in Baptism are incorporated into Christ; they therefore have a right to be called Christians, and with good reason are accepted as brothers in the Lord by the children of the Catholic Church."272



819 "Furthermore, many elements of sanctification and of truth"273 are found outside the visible confines of the Catholic Church: "the written Word of God; the life of grace; faith, hope, and charity, with the other interior gifts of the Holy Spirit, as well as visible elements."274 Christ's Spirit uses these Churches and ecclesial communities as means of salvation, whose power derives from the fullness of grace and truth that Christ has entrusted to the Catholic Church. All these blessings come from Christ and lead to him,275 and are in themselves calls to "Catholic unity."276
