    Truth comes from God

    I’m going to go out on a limb here and assume you’re talking about the christian god.

    Anyways, if that’s the case, that truth comes from god, then how come there are thousands of denominations of christianity?

      Good guess that I was referring to the one true living God! It sure is easy to communicate with fellow conservatives, but it’s awfully suspicious to read those disrespectful minuscules.

      I’m sure you’re familiar with the Tower of Babel, which answers that question about divisions. However, all of the denominations (with extremely rare exception) agree on the essentials of Christianity.

        which answers that question about divisions.

        Actually that just raises more questions, because the divisions from the tower of babel were caused by god, which is at odds with this idea of yours that truth comes from god.

        However, all of the denominations (with extremely rare exception) agree on the essentials of Christianity.

        I would disagree they agree on the essentials. There is disagreement over how people are saved, what the afterlife looks like, how to interpret the bible, what passages are metaphorical/literal, and then you get to the concept of sin. Every denomination has a different opinion on what things are sins and what things aren’t.

        Why does this all happen if they are all supposedly getting their info from the same source?
