God didn't plan for all these different church denominations. Why have denominations in the first place? Aren't all Christians supposed to be united as one and one in Christ for Christ is the head of the church and not the different denominations.
Why so many denominations?

I doubt that Jesus recognizes most "churches" as His Church.
Most are nothing more that religious organizations that are leading the masses down the road to hell.
There are few true churches left in the last days.

A local assembly that teaches only what the Word teaches ( OT and NT ) .
That salvation (being born again) is totally based upon the faith of Jesus, not upon what a man does or does not do.
That baptism is the first act of obedience of a person that is saved, and is not a part of salvation.
That once a person is saved (born again) he will never lose that salvation.
That a person that is truly born again will produce some good works as evidence of his salvation.
Even thought the flesh continues to sin, a person that is truly born again will not continue to live in sin, but will confess his sin to the Father and ask forgiveness.
A true church will teach that it is always about Jesus and glorifying Him, and not about me or you.
This is what I would look for first when looking for a true church,
you ain't spent a lot of time reading all the --- uh, how shall I put this --- theological debates here have you?
Put 10 people in a room..............read ONE SCRIPTURE..............then open up the floor for all to say what they believe the Scripture says...................AT THE VERY LEAST, you will get seven different answers............
(just saying)
See, right there, we have differences of opinion/interpretations...........and, thus.......will end up with different churches/denominations...........
Now I'm 6 Yea, but I'm 2 Nay.................still,
(no, not gonna say which, cause that would cause disruption/debate to occur.........)
God bless
sounds good to me . a couple of those, maybe a bit off my beliefs, but nothing to fight about. thanks for the answer.
I know to ALWAYS read the members profile page before commenting.............goodness...........oh well..........

I accept all religions and everyone has a right to what they believe in. However, I am still a little sketchy when it comes to saying whether or not I am a Christian. I just can't get into the bible anymore or a lot of Christian things. I find it hard to believe that Christianity is the only way and that hell even exists. To me hell is sickening. How could a loving God have a person in hell for ETERNITY! I go to church and still believe in God and all but, I cannot believe 100 % everything the bible says.

Yes I agree there are a huge amount of denominations, all trying to eitherdeny Jesus, or support Jesus but with lack of full explanation. Some has left out the importance of the true word, some has added there own to it. But one thing for sure, the devil is behind a lot of it. He is laughing the fact there are so many denominations, because all he want is to confuse, lie, and twist the real truth from the world. But As Jesus said his word will not pass away, So the enemy is on a losing treak there. but it won't stop the devil trying to stir up new religions, and using the weak to his advantages.
Also alot of it is to do with money, yes you read it right money. I heard stories the illuminati is behind it too. Though I'm leaning towards greed of money and again the devils doing.
