Why Christianity is Divided

If there's only one God, why are there so many different religions?

Since the beginning of my time, knowing (these closest and common Christian organizations I encounter) Baptist, Seventh Day Adventist, Jehovah Witness, and me baptized Roman Catholic, and knowing we pray and praise the same God, I started wondering,

Why are we in different churches? Is our Jesus different from them?

Well, my last conversation with Father Redan explained to me how and why Christianity is divided, primarily because of disagreements on what is right and not. I mean, cmon' dudes at the highest position of each religion — I thought we pray to the same God; it means it's already set what's right or not. Why the heck are there still differences? Does this mean that humans could change or manipulate God's rules if it fits the person's subjectivity of what's right or not? How can a man say this part of the bible fits the doctrine?

Religion has been a huge part of my life since I emerged from my mom's womb, getting baptized in church on my mom's will, and going to church for years didn't make me really become religious like those old people afraid to go to hell, and wanna go to heaven, that's why they are spending their remaining time purifying themselves.

But for any matter, questions and doubts about the factualness of the right or wrong of each Christian organization made me question the credibility of the Bible.

If God has intended and inspired every word of Scripture, then why are they altering the book written by God-inspired authos or saying that some parts aren't true and should be like this? Do they mean someone wrote it based on God's word and that the author misinterpreted it, so God talked to this person that this is wrong so it should be changed? How accurate is that person who changes the writings of God that he or she was talking to the God who inspired the Bible?

Think of this, God teaches us to love each other, preached by these priests, pastors, whatsoever and they are also the ones fighting each other just to prove their version of Bible doctrines and practices based on their loyalty to scripture: is true, well did God make them fight? But

God just wants us to love each other?

"The Bible as the only standard of faith and practice for Christians", well most of them take it literally.

I did my research and saw Protestants have the most well-known sub-branches of all; they have a lot of subgroups. What a religion united by God.

World Christianity by tradition in 2024 as per World Christian Database:

  • Catholic (48.6%)
  • Protestant (39.8%)
  • Orthodox, including Eastern and Oriental communions (11.1%)
  • Other (0.5%)
  • If Jesus is alive today, he would be scratching his head. And if he were, I hope he would unite all churches and bring back the old one where all Christians would just be in one united organization in the name of God.

    Blame the disciples who can't spread the word of the Lord in the most accurate manner. Or just blame God for not creating them with enough neurons to be able to accurately pass the message; because of the disciples' lack of accuracy, now Christianity is divided.

    I read this forum. and here are bits to contemplate with.

    When the sole purpose of spirituality and religious dogma is UNITY, why is there so much disunity and fragmentation of churches? - Jewels posted 13 years ago
    The unfortunate difficulty lies in that churches are made up of people. And people are fallible. The same could be said of political parties. They mostly begin with good intentions but at some point "fall" into various "human" temptations like greed, sloth, pride, etc... ; - Al Blondin posted 13 years ago
    John 17:21 (NIV): "That all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me."
