This tread doesn't defend the RCC; this thread is denominational and non-denominational.
Why would you even pose such a question as to whether or not the Bible is denominational? What you’re asking is if God’s Word is in conflict with itself. Do you believe God’s Word is in conflict with itself? I don’t.

How would that make the God's Word in conflict with itself; either the Bible is denominational or non-denominational.

Exactly what definition are you using for the word "denominational"?

Denomination definition: recognized autonomous branch of the Christian church.

The obvious problem is there are many denominations, hence many autonomous branches. If God’s Word is many autonomous branches then it is indeed in conflict with itself.

I don't understand what you are claiming; are you implying that you believe the Holy Bible is non-denominational?

Which "Holy Bible" ?

Currently there are over a dozen different "Holy Bibles" in common usage. All are holy...all are commonly used.

The Bible came first. Denominations are based on the Bible. I suppose one could ask if denominations were present before the New Testament. The Pharisees and Sadducees were known for having pre-NT sects.... :unsure:

If I said otherwise then I would be saying God’s Word is in conflict with itself.

Non-denominational?

Deuteronomy 4:2
denominations are created because all believers don’t agree on details they may all agree Jesus does for our sins and rose but then they argue and create division based on details that they don’t grasp the same

denominations are sort of like a poor solution when two groups of believers can’t agree it is not something designed by God it’s division within the body of believers who all and every one share a common faith but let details get in the way of unity in those common beliefs

we want everyone else to believe exactly what we do and when they don’t we create ideas gay they are wrong and we are right which gave birth to denominations

it’s definately a work of the devil trying to divide Gods kingdom to weaken it and allow him to do damage denominations are proof that there’s a lot of carnality in the church and it lacks unity

when we differ on details it should be understood like this

“One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it.

He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, And every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭14:5-13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

but that’s not what the church did instead we make division based on any difference in details like that example the sabbath ? If you don’t agree with me I’ll be in this other denomination the “true church “

and the other side is saying no your wrong I’ll be in this other group the “true church “

just a family that can’t get along and always accusing the other members of. NOt understanding denominations are purely an invention of man and result of carnality

“And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭3:1-3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

that’s where denominations came from groups th at can’t get along and agree create sects clicks isolation groups separatist ideas the “ were chosen and authentic and you aren’t “ ideology

chrirtians all of them are part of one group one body one faith

I am non-denominational; do you believe the Holy Bible is non-denominational?
In I Corinthians 1, Paul addresses the first major sin that the Church was burdened by.
If there's anything in the Bible that speaks of Denominations, it's this chapter.

"Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God."

This doesn't mean that believers are to accept every translation that is smeared with denominational slants.

This thread does not call people heretics; please post where you think I called people heretics in this thread. :confused:
Please post what a heretic is. Otherwise, seems you are just shooting and hoping to hit something

You seem rather attached to the concept of a heretic, so feel free to post what you really think about it instead of evading the question

a heretic is not a believer in the actual sense of the word, but people can be deceived. does not mean they are a heretic

the heart is best left for God to judge
