Why are there so many denominations rather than one true church.

[Reddogs]

You would think the Reformers would have picked up where the early church was in doctrine and in faith that Christ left it in, and yet we have so much disunity in the Protestant denominations. So why cant they all come together on beliefs and what was from Christ?

We can see what Gods Word says..
1 Corinthians 1:10
Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

[Athanasius]

Why would we think that?

Oops, looks like we've stumbled upon our answer.

[Fenris]

Which denomination would be the "true church"?

[Athanasius]

Which denomination would be the "true church"?

Mine, obviously. Just don't ask me which one that is.

Perhaps because we are growing in the word and with life itself. Things start small and grow larger and larger. And with what measure we hear that is given in time. Even hearing we do not always receive since the ground in us must be ripe for the seed given. People are cautious about what they hear, and many are defensive about conviction.
