How did Christianity end up like this? So denominations, over 45,000 of them. Judaism has only 12-15 denominations, and Islam has over 70. Are we really that divided despite the faith in God?

Schisms have always been around
The protestant heresy is the biggest blow that ever happened to Christendom

The nature of christianity being a jewish purity spiral splinter group from the start, it was always destined to splinter off into a bunch of midwits bickering about who's particular flavour of jew worship is better.

Dogma in religion just means in fighting over what the dogma is and what it means.

>My made up religion from 500 years ago is the real one despite having no historical continuity from the first 1500 years of Christianity
You lost, protestants are starting to convert for the first time in 500 years ever since the pandemic, it's literally already over for you

>ignore any points made
>seethes
definitely catholic

If it weren't for proddies there would be like only 20. And the only major problem would be the Great Schism. With Orthodoxy it is mostly how things are done locally since church authority is usually below government authority. Flip anon you are probably Catholic in a Catholic majority county. Not something you should be worried about. Proddies start all kinds of Christian cults

>Bro why did you ignore my totally false accusations
Because you don't even know what our position is
You are fighting a strawman that I don't believe in
I know more about protestantism than you know about Catholicism, go look up what we actually believe and then we can have a real conversation

Catholicism basically got it right that you need a class of priests who can infight about scriptural shit while leaving the general population out of it, because the moment you allow normies to try and do their own analysis of theology they will invariably come up with thousands of retarded takes on it and then fiercely defend their own autistic interpretations.

The Orthodox did the next best thing which was a religion of discrete but largely allied national churches which adjust the religion minorly for the laity in their respective populations.

The Protestants chose the worst of both worlds, they have pretensions of universalism but they're also obsessively talmudic in their constant personal interpretation of scripture, and they're fragmented. The result being a zillion divided ministries instead of one large coherent one. The only possible outcome is that they are gradually absorbed back into Catholicism.

The biblical canon was not established before the late 300s. Scripture can be a useful tool for weeding out heresy, but before it we have the teachings of the Church fathers and hundreds of years of tradition.

The Holy and Apostolic Catholic Church is the True Church of Jesus Christ.

Literally not how Christianity has ever worked, nobody thought this until 500 years ago

I implore you to study the origins of the Church if you dare.

I became Orthodox. An infallible Pope is retarded. Bad Popes have made terrible decisions and it takes only 1 man to basically change church doctrine. The Catholic church backstabbed Orthodox countries hard in the face of Muslim invasions, sanctify the invasion of Poland more than once, told Henry the VIII to go fight another succession war with France and sanctifies 3rd world invasion and ethnic cleansing of Americans because there are not enough Catholics here already. The American Catholics in Springfeild Ohio who lost their jobs and rented homes to Haitians were told to go to Hell for complaining about where the church money was spent. There is a point where the Church should stay out of politics. The Orthodox Church here does it splendidly and takes care of its own followers.

>unchanging collection of scripture
Go research the history of your 66 book canon

>>510381763
>instead of reading the unchanging collection of scripture for myself
Again, not established until the late 300s by men.
>I must listen to men who's ideas of church change every generation
Think of what you're saying, protestant of the n:th denomination. Ironic.

>>510379155 (OP)
It’s mostly over petty differences that most Christians don’t even understand.

>>510380267
i dont really want to associate with the current denominations with christianity. I think I just have my own faith based on my readings and understanding of the bible. Because I want to be confident to say that i am a christian and my religion is christianity.

Why do you follow a foreign religion? You don't have your own?

>>510383521
my ancestors religions are made up while they're smoking. There's still not evidences that prove our religion is right or real. But every year or so, archeologist would excavate in israel and find evidences that prove christianity happened.

Son will turn against father, and daughters against their mothers, anon. Catholicism has a bunch of nutty organizations within their own ranks. Opis dei, order of the rose cross, etc etc. And each one of them thinks they're the "true" version of Christianity.
Division of social groups means that there is social progress occurring. Uniformity among Catholicism means that they are trying far harder to conceal the cracks than the people who are not afraid to show their dissent.

Look at the catholic chimps in recent years. Any serious catholics died a long time ago if their long-standing traditions and beliefs can so easily be subverted. Female bishops, gays and transsexual bishops/congregations, involving itself in politics.
All of those things are strictly prohibited and/or severely discouraged in the bible. There are no serious catholics anymore.

>How did Christianity end up like this?
Christian ideologies, like all ideologies, are shaped by the material conditions and dominant class relations of their historical context. The proliferation of Protestant denominations reflects the rise of capitalist modes of production, particularly in their liberal and market-driven forms. Under capitalism, where individualism, private choice, and consumer logic are elevated, religion becomes commodified and fragmented into countless sects that cater to the ideological preferences of atomized individuals. Rather than serving as a site of collective submission to a unified doctrine, modern Protestantism often functions as an ideological expression of capitalist individualism, allowing individuals to select a denomination that aligns with their existing worldview, rather than transforming that worldview in the service of collective spiritual or material emancipation.

Technically if you are christian you are part of the invisible spiritual church. So each person makes up a different denomination, that would make billions of different denominations, yet one church.

Found the FAKE infant penis mutilator.


A certain sect of jewish priests were referred to in one of the jewish prophet books as being red, white, and blue and then becoming black.
This is absolute proof that the penis mutilating schizophrenic rat people who invented most of the things that make judaism abhorrent today are actually the genetic ancestor of both Celtic and Germanic people. This also proves that modern jews are actually a European people who stole infant penis mutilation for the God of Moses from the Celtic and Germanic people (who are actually middle eastern with no ancestry in Europe 3000 years ago).

If someone denies this they must post visage or they prove that they are a jew.
(we wuz jews (middle eastern jews, not fake edomite khazarian neanderthal canaanite pharisee european descended jews))
