How come the Bible is the downfall of many denominations of Christianity?

Lion of Judah Regular: How come the Bible is the downfall of many denominations of Christianity?
Like in Mormonism, they teach something about Christ that Paul doesnt preach. In Catholcism, they teach something about Mary that the bible didn’t teach, in certain sects of Evangelism, their own preachers are flithy rich, and lie, and the bible preaches against that. And there are many more.

So why are so many denominations, who are supposed to be based on the teachings of the Bible, not in line with the bible??

Answer by ClanMan
Its because the bible is full of blatant contradictions.

Answer by faithfulfriend
Because Christ only built one church (Matthew 16:18) and that one church has one faith, one baptism, one doctrine, and one name.

See Ephesians 4.

It is because the bible was never intended to be read nor interpreted by any other than learned biblical scholars. When it was made available to the unwashed masses all the trouble began. Any ignorant preacher or undereducated buffoon can pick up the book and make any interpretation that he or she sees fit. Even Paul (Saul of Tarsus) made interpretations that were his own and therefore subject to conjecture.

The denominations or religions of Christianity are mans attempt to please God man`s way and not God`s way.
God did not create the religions, man did.
God just said to preach the Good News to all men.
Man decided that they wanted to do it a certain way and made up traditions and different meanings to the bible verses. Now it seems some denominations only teach the traditions and not the teachings of Jesus. Thus you get denominations who are not in line with what the bible says.

It’s doing the work God intended it to do! “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of sol and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12).

The Bible is so written that our motives are exposed. The way we handle the word of God shows whether we are prepared to “let God be found true, though every man be found a liar” or not (Rom. 3:4).

Only when we receive the word of God is it “effectively at work in you who believe” (1 Thess. 2:13). Those who try to use it for their own ends are exposed as frauds. They can never see that, of course! They will argue till they are blue in the face that they have interpreted scripture correctly, or translated it better, or that their leaders have more authority. You don’t need extra-biblical writings either (though most of the pseudo-Christians do). You just need to want to have a following, or a source of money, or to be looked up to by others, to start twisting scripture. It’s not the Bible’s fault! The Bible warned this would happen! (2 Pet. 3:16)

Well, if you read the bible like any other book with out understanding the context of the passage or the scripture, Yes, you’ll get wrong impression. rightly dividing the word of truth is very important. Sure, any denominations can take scripture out its meaningful context and build a false doctrine on it. ( take in the way that suit the agenda of the denomination) They did that during spanish Inquisition era, They used the bible to back up their act.

Hence, context is very important when you read the bible.
God bless

Jesus Speaks:

JOHN 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

The Holy Bible is the only true book…
The Everlasting Gospel is “The Word of God” and The Spirit of Prophecy is “The Testimony of Jesus”….
