Jesus said he came to create division as well. I guess one could argue about that is just between believers and unbelievers.

I guess I would ask why would God expect me to yolk up to the Catholic, Lutheran, southern Baptist, pentecostal, charismatic, et al churches? In a lot of cases they teach a large amount of absolutely horrible doctrines.

I do believe he will divide truth from error and will keep His flock from corruption.

Dig deep enough down and you will find a lot of these denominations profess to serve Jesus, but the Jesus they serve is not the same one that is in the Bible. They have allowed leaven into the flour, so to speak. Heaping teachers to themselves to tickle their ears they have the form of godliness when they cry out "Lord Lord" yet their words are hollow and deny the very precepts of Christ's teachings.

It's one thing to say "you shouldn't eat meat" versus "faggots are loved by Jesus and if he were here today he would be trans". One I can disagree with and not care about one way or the other, the other is outright blasphemy.


Let me temper that with saying that you can find actual followers in some of the various denominations, sure. My criticism is for the denos as a whole (institution).

Anyway that's why I vehemently refuse the "unity" doctrine being pushed by multiple denominations. Eventually I think alot of them will merge, and whatever beast comes from that will be awful.

I will fellowship with people like you, Tyler and xeno, cow, etc. who despite some differences can generally agree on basic teachings like "faggots bad"
