Why are there so many Christian denominations? Why is Christianity so divided into different denominations?

The Bible mentions the church is the body of Christ. Therefore it is not a building or a location. It was man that concocted the word church to mean a place of worship. Likewise, temple of man is built by man and a physical building while temple of God is you where the Holy Spirit resides.

As an Eastern Christian, I am genuinely perplexed about the state of Western "Christianity." A constant attempt to reinvent the wheel! How many denominations are in the West? The last time I checked, denominations were not in the Bible!
Εἶπεν οὖν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν· ἐὰν μὴ φάγητε τὴν σάρκα τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου καὶ πίητε αὐτοῦ τὸ αἷμα, οὐκ ἔχετε ζωὴν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς.
Άν τινων ἀφῆτε τὰς ἁμαρτίας, ἀφίενται αὐτοῖς· ἄν τινων κρατῆτε, κεκράτηνται.

Thank you. I am doing a research paper on different Christian denominations and I only was left with one question after watching this. Does Satan have a reason for splitting out church in two? Thank you.

I believe that denominations are a necessity, unfortunately. For example, I do not agree with Pentecostals or Charismatics on most of their doctrines or practices, so I would not want to be a member of any of those kinds of churches. But I do want to be a part of a congregation where they teach and practice what I believe to be Biblical Christianity. For those reasons (and others), I feel that denominations are not always a bad thing. Not that any Bible believing church/denomination is 100% right on all points. If they were, there would be no divisions. Also, Biblical theology is sadly lacking in most evangelical churches today, so I prefer a church where Biblical theology is both taught and practiced. Another reason why I think that out of necessity, there must be denominations. Doesn't mean we can't have fellowship with other Christians, as long as there is no compromise on the essentials of the Christian faith.

Diversity... not disunity.. Laugh or cry?

Division among believers is profitless and disrespectful to Yeshua's prayer for oneness. (John 17:20-26, Titus 3:1-11, 1 Corinthians 1:10-13, ‭‭Romans‬ ‭11‬:‭17‬-‭18)

Christian means followers of Christ. Jehovah’s Witnesses are followers of Christ, so how is it they are catogorized as non-christian?

[breer]

So basically all Christians worship the god of the Catholic Church based on the Catholic church’s councils politically motivated interpretation regardless of who God Himself and His Son Jesus Christ said He is🤔
Well, that seems to be in conflict with Psalm 118:8

The fruit of the Bible alone theory even when the Bible doesn’t even say Bible alone

Denominations is a long word. Let's just say castes.

Judaism is a true tribe . Religions are man made

[kingweez]

So I understand why JW would be considered a cult but why would a religion like Islam be considered false?

[johnbrown]

None of the many are true. It's the only explanation that fits the evidence.
