Why Are There So Many Versions Of Christainity by Delusiongirl20(f): 3:43pm On Aug 03, 2015
Why are there so many versions of christainity. More than 100000 thousand denominations under one umbrella of a holy book. Doesn't that point to something.

But at least in Islamism, Judaism etc, they have few divisions, not up to ten in each.



Still Christianity thrives more than any other.

Excellent question.

A lot of it has to do with interpretations of the bible and biblical practices...

The central "dogma" of the Christian faith should remain present and unadulterated across these so called versions or denominations

The enemy of Truth will only expend his arrows and efforts in Truth's direction. His time is short hence he wont waste it on others that are no disturbance to him. False prophets and teachers have always been there to try to twist /change the Word just as their master, satan, did to Eve in the Garden!

Why did those discrimination and interpretations exist at the first place?

Or does it mean that God's hand is not in the inspiration of the bible. A perfect thing especially the issue of god should not have any misinterpretations, god gat to steer the affairs well so that each will understand the other.

Jesus preached the kingdom of God, everything else, miracles and whatnot was secondary to support this. Any church that doesn't deviate from this is "good to go" .

God leaves affairs of men to themselves but those who seek the Lord's enlightenment in prayers can always be pointed in the right direction regardless how the systems of this world twist the scriptures.
He has left a check on his word, that it won't pass away not even until the end of time, atheist and unbelievers can be rest assured that should the center message about salvation be lost that would in itself be proof that God doesn't exist.

Galatian1:8
But even if we or an angel from heaven
should proclaim to you a gospel contrary to what we proclaimed to you, let that person be condemned!

Romans 16:17
I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are
contrary to the teaching you have
learned. Keep away from them.

Quoting all verses makes me uncomfortable,why not quote from quran too, so that we compare the one that is most suitable.

so quoting bible verse make you uncomfortable ? Hmmm.

Jesus say there will be division because of him , many people will interpret the bible according to there evil plan , the fact that there is so many division in Christianity proved the devil is really battling with the saint's because he knows the truth is in there , a healthy man need not a doctor.
Re: Why Are There So Many Versions Of Christainity by sonmvayina(m): 10:27pm On Aug 03, 2015
There is only one version of the truth, only a lie has multiple versions..just like jerimaih 8:8 says..

what did tanak or quran say about the same topic?
Re: Why Are There So Many Versions Of Christainity by malvisguy212: 10:45pm On Aug 03, 2015
Delusiongirl20:



what did tanak or quran say about the same topic?
am a christian. Here is what the quran teaches about sin:

Sura 4:30-31, Whoso doeth that
(evil deeds) through aggression and
injustice, We shall cast him into Fire,
and that is ever easy for Allah. If ye
avoid the great (things) which ye are
forbidden, We will remit from you
your evil deeds and make you enter at
a noble gate.

This clearly implies that Allah will only
send you to hell for great sins, small sin like lust and hatred will be avoided only if outweigh them with Good deed like building a mosque, etc...

Sura 6:120, Forsake the outwardness of sin and the inwardness thereof. Lo! those who garner sin will be awarded that which they have earned.

So there is Hell to pay for great sins, but
the small sins will be overlooked if the
great ones are not committed.

This doctrine contradict the holiness of God and His nature, God will never tolerate little sin , David lust over a woman and God punished him for that. This is satanic doctrine.
