We have a multitude of different Christian religions and denominations in existence today and each one of them claims to interpret the Bible correctly. The problem is that because of their conflicting beliefs, they all cannot be correct. So how do we know which interpretation of the Bible to believe and follow?
Another question we must ask is: Why do we have this state of affairs? Did not Jesus pray to God that Christians should be as one just as he and God were one (John 17:21-22)? Did not Paul say: “I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment. For it has been reported to me by Chloe’s people that there is quarreling among you, my brothers” (1 Corinthians 1:10-12 ESV)?
So why are we Christians so fractious? Why do we quarrel among ourselves about our theology? We will attempt to provide some answers in the next two blogs.
