Why are there so many Christian denominations?


Bible

Isaiah 4:1

"In that day seven women shall take hold of one man saying, We will eat our own bread and wear our own apparel; only let us be called by your name to take away our reproach."

Answer

The Bible predicted that in the last days, many would take the name of Jesus, but live by their own rules like the text about says. In Bible prophecy, a woman represents a church. (See "Keys to unlocking Bible Symbols"). Bread represents God's word, and apparel represents righteousness. The text says those seven women would eat their own bread instead of God's bread, or God's word. And they would wear their own apparel instead of wearing God's righteousness. Looking for a church can be a little like shopping for a breakfast cereal. With so many to choose from, how do you know which one to pick? By far, the most popular religion today is Christianity with more than 2 billion adherents, and more than 34,000 different denominations, all claiming to be God’s true church. Apparently, the devil is trying to hide God’s truth in a maze of different Christian faiths.
