In todays society, there are approximately 38000 Christian denominations in the world. All claiming to be Christian. Yet they are divided and contradict one another. How is that possible when we are told by Christ that a house divided will not stand? Yet among the so call Christian faiths there is doctrine differences that keep denominations from even fellowship together and in some parts of the world this Christian groups are willing and have been know to have caused bodily harm to one another, based on the fact they are not of the same denomination.
If we really want to please God, however, we must forsake what we want and practice what He wants.
Man's whole duty is to fear God and keep His commands. We should be determined to do God's will, not our own. (Ecclesiastes 12:13)
To follow Jesus one must deny himself. True religion does not consist of what pleases us. It is entirely a question of what pleases God. (Matthew 16:24)
Heavenly Father let our eyes and heart be on you, and not a denomination, for it was not a denomination that saved a sinner like me, but the precious blood of Christ. Denominations have taken away from the real light of the world which is Yeshua (The Messiah/The Christ). Not the first Baptist Ebernizer Holy Light Evanglic Church of Christ(fake name) One type of Christian one Messiah one faith. I've heard the explanation that some Pastors and others give for why we have many denominations. Yet if I use that same excuse, to say that there should be many paths to Christ, I would be called a liar and false teacher. Which would be true for there is only one way to Heaven and that is through Yeshua the son of Yahweh. Yet we have thousands of denominations, because of men's ideologies. Each denomination is simply based on the ideologies of men, not the word of God. Christ did not preach denomination because he was a Jew and he knew whom he worshipped and where. He did not create the Catholic faith, nor the Baptist, nor Methodist, nor Apostolic or any other of man's self created denomination. If there was a true denomination for believers to have followed it would have been the Messianic faith simple put (followers of the Messiah). Heaven want be divided off into denomination, it will only contain the truly faithful.

Dr.H, I know for myself it is my number one reason. Why I can't take any of these so called Christian seriously. Each Church adds to or take away from what supposedly is God's word. One church says do this the other Church disagrees but in fact nothing in God's words supports the existence of either of them. Why do listen live a lie??? Denominations have nothing to do with God but everything to do with man. Forgive me for I know I can not phrase as well as you did..
I know for myself if denominations were not apart of the equation I could perhaps see some truth in the Word itself. But I find nothing but lies and men who want to tell others how to live.
Thank you Dr. H you again have taught me something and also proven what I thought that man keep us from God.
